And sorry about the dirty plate - my goats thought it was a snack when I first brought it out lol

That’s what I thought and we have had chickens for 3 years now but this is the first time the egg whites have been this yellow .. just wanted to make sure ty

I apologize.. it is not an actual supplement rather a water additive for overall health ..various herbs oils etc .. we let them range during day while we are outside in garden/yard but they do not range alone the entire day. We have a family of fox who take full advantage of that situation.. I...

So we are noticing that in the last week the eggs coming out of the coop (I collect every morning and every evening so none are old) are producing yellow tinged egg whites.. does this mean anything bad? I give an herbal supplement to aid in healthier birds and they get some cracked corn every...

Hello all.. I need help and suggestions with a very muddy run. I live in Rhode Island and we are dealing with a lot of rain. I started my flock 3 years ago with just 12 girls. We have expanded our flock over time and now have around 35 ladies. We have two coops that both open into a 32’x32’ run...

I guess my next question is .. is 50 chickens (well now 47) enough to sustain 3 roosters? So far these two australorps seem fine with each other but when I add the Brahma into the mix (he is in a fenced pen that sits inside the run with these two) should I expect a messy situation? Both docile...

No problem ! Yea I got a bunch from TSC and then I got a 2nd batch from Murray McMurray and that is where the planned Brahma is from. The MM chicks are beautiful and I think well worth the extra money I spent . Don’t get me wrong.my TSC chicks were fine and these roosters are actually very...

Yea the two of them are sooo much bigger than the rest so that was another hint I had roosters lol
