    Strange extra material “blob” in chicken’s poop.

    Is this a lash as well? My girl did this about 24 hours ago. I’ve only had backyard chickens since Oct 19, 2022. This came out oddly as well. I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t seen it come out. That area has mud and chopped hay. I just finished washing the patio and I soaked the ground for them...

I grew up on a farm and ranch in patches. I am now 53 and haven’t had livestock since I was 29 yr old. When I was young, chickens...

    Chickens Won’t Use Dustbath

    I made mine a medium sand with peat moss. About half and half and a quarter dirt from the run and they don’t go in it either. Did you solve your issue?

    baby chick has weird lump under vent

    I think that’s the belly button and umbilical cord. Don’t pull the cord or it can kill the chick. Mine had a bump too but they go away. Just keep the butt clean. Also a little bit of mothers vinegar in the water can help. Also grit is helpful. At 3 weeks you won’t recognize the babies. They grow...
