    Runny, Bright Yellow Poop.. cocci??

    We just switched to layer feed and oyster shell, but they have meal worms, grit, and Happy Hen sunflower mix like normal. I only have 3 chickens and they live in a 14'x12' run so it's not completely free range but they definitely get bugs, grass, etc. Maybe it was that? I called home and the...

    Runny, Bright Yellow Poop.. cocci??

    No, no blood. And this morning's poop looked more like cecal than the bright yellow so maybe I overreacted. They're acting normal (running around, chasing each other/ducks/bugs, eating and drinks... saw both this morning... for all of them) just making more noises. Not sure if that's a sign of...

    New to BYC... and chickens and ducks n general

    Hello. I'm getting ready to get into chicken keeping.

    Thanks for the height suggestion @3goodeggs and @Mountain Peeps . I went out there again and put rocks in the coop (large ones are free and a plenty in the mountains!) and put the waterers on them... hoping things are cleaner when I check later. Anyone have luck with the watering systems...

    New to BYC... and chickens and ducks n general

    Hello! Just started my adventure into having chickens and ducks yesterday. The hubby, friends, and I have spent the better part of two months designing and building a chicken/duck coop with a 12'x12' enclosed run (which we're thinking of expanding as it isn't enough space in my opinion for the...
