    Official BYC Poll: How Long Have You Been Raising Chickens?

    I moved in with my son and daughter-in- law two-three years ago; they had chickens. I loved them so much that I took care of them like they were my own. I don't live with my son now, but when I visit I ask about their welfare + bring them a treat; smoothie pulp, cut up vegies, etc. I would love...

    Feed sack recycling ideas??

    I used one in my car to protect the floor before I got floor mats. Another time I used 2 or 3 to cover holes in the chicken coop where the chicks were escaping. I had to secure them because the older chickens would scratch at them and try to move them out of the way. I used another to feed the...

    Arizona Chickens

    To paynemom, a few coops I have seen were with windows but many are without. The people just make sure there is good ventilation as in the soffet or air vent in a house attic. Windows could create a cold draft which would be bad for the chickens.

    Thank you, Ducksandchickens and Eggcessive. I am not tech-savvy enough to post a picture and I am alone in house. Sounds like a good plan.I will follow this treatment when I can get some help.

    Cut on foot

    Last night we had a chicken cut her foot on a saw where the toe meets the foot pad. It's not deep, only about a couple millimeters and the bleeding stopped a few minutes after my daughter put a little hydrogen peroxide on it and wrapped it in a cloth. She was able to take it off. She got a dog...

    It looks like a feed bowl with yummy, healthy beets and either throw-up or poop, (sorry) right in the center. Sorry this happened to you. I laughed at your comment; I have had this same reaction in the past.

    Frozen eggs

    OK, thanks for heads-up. We have several different breeds and I forget what breed lays what colored egg. Guess I'm in the right place.

    Frozen eggs

    I found some green-blue colored eggs outside today laid by Silver Leghorn(s). Two have been laid recently; they are bright green-blue but five are very cold and greenish brown so I could tell they are frozen. If I thaw them will they be good to eat? They could have been outside a week or more...

    Are these eggs good to eat?

    Thank you; I will show my daughter-in-law this post and any others from people. I have steamed eggs to a hard-boil a few weeks ago; they were good. And I will remember to move the eggs when we steam anything! PouleChick, you confirmed how I think on using partially steamed eggs-better be safe...

    Are these eggs good to eat?

    I have chickens who free range and the eggs are collected in a wire basket and set on the bar above and back of the stove in the kitchen. A few times I have boiled water which created steam in large pots not even noticing the eggs being there. Well, my daughter-in-law broke open an egg that has...
