When I found this the shaving around it were wet so I'm thinking the wet park was yolk. No shavings in it. I have 4 new layers so not sure if it's one of them or my other ones.
Yesterday I hosed down the run twice and freshened up their water twice. Today I bought and installed a mister hose and gave them a half water melon. That must've helped cause 2 in my new flock laid their 1st eggs.
Greetings SoCal from Pine Valley. Ive only had chickens for a year now and I'm just wondering what everyone does for their chickens to beat the heat during heat waves?
I have 4 20 week old and 2 19 week old EE's we got our 1st egg yesterday just not sure which one it's from all but one is pretty red and a few are squatting. We also have a couple of other breeds the same age so it may have been from them too.
Got our 1st egg! Not sure from which one (black autralorp, New Hampshire red, or EE 19/20 weeks) good size though found it on the ground under the waterer
besides mites, and worms what else can cause a pale comb? I recently treated my 4 laying hens for mites and also dewormed. They are eating and drinking as normal. Up until last week they were laying 3-4 eggs a day total now I'm getting between 2-3 a day. They are under a year and 1st started...
