Thanks. I think it’s pecking. I’ll keep an eye on them.

Thank you. I think it’s pecking. I’ll keep an eye on them.

I have six hens, 4 are red sex link 2 are New Hampshire or Rhode Island reds. The four red sex links are loosing massive amounts of feathers. I got them as chicks over the summer. They started laying eggs end of December, steady egg layers every day. Would they be molting in winter? Is it...

It’s used for minor cuts and diaper rash.

One of my hens had a cut on her comb, I put A and D ointment on it it seemed fine now the comb is turning white. Should I be concerned?

I have six hens raised from chicks this August and they just started laying last week.No heat lamps or lights, layer feed and veggie scraps etc. It is eggciting!

First egg!!!! So eggciting.

Any guesses as to what breed these are?

Thanks. That’s what I thought, they might still be young. If we turn the heat lamp on they roost.

Hi folks, I have six young hens about 1 1/2-2 months old. They all are able to get up on the roosts we set up but at night they still want to sleep in the pine shavings in the floor of the coop. I don’t want them to get mites etc. Any suggestions?

Ok thanks for clarifying. Still not sure what they are except I am sure they are funny, cute and sweet!

Not sure what that means.
