    Sick chicks

    They are getting tap water and there is no fracking in my area. The water company is really good about sending out notices if anything is going on. I used electrolytes today, should I still add in extra sugar?

    Sick chicks

    I had the electrolyte sent overnight so it just went in a waterer. I really hope this helps. I don’t see any signs of coccidiosis in the coop which they were previously in. I’m attaching a few pics and videos if that helps I had the electrolytes sent overnight and just got it in their water. I...

    Sick chicks

    Temps are in the mid 90s , they are on medicated starter feed, they are in one of the tractor supply coops with a run attached. Poop is watery and no pasty butt. I had to order more electrolytes since every farm store in a 50 mile radius is out. They have frozen water bottles to climb on. They...

    Sick chicks

    I had 4 day old chicks that I gave to a broody hen, she is one of my tried and true moms and does a wonderful job raising chicks. They were doing great for the first 3 days until yesterday. All the chicks are lethargic and not eating or drinking. They kept their eyes closed all day and wings...

    Possum problem

    Thank you so much! That is good to know. Raccoons aren’t really a problem where I live but I will still keep my eyes peeled!

    Possum problem

    I have noticed for the last 3 night possums in the tree near my coop. I set up a live trap on day 2 and haven’t gotten one yet but I’m looking for a way to deter them away from the coop. I read online to use urine from a predator and I do have cats in my home. So what I was wondering was if I...

    Entire Flock Stopped Laying

    Yes but I would check as early in the morning as you can since chickens will eat the worms from the poop. That’s how they spread it. I only saw worms in one chicken when I took her to the vet. Pulled her out of the kennel and she immediately made herself at home on the exam table. The vet told...

    Entire Flock Stopped Laying

    Have you checked for worms? I recently found worms in poop after noticing a dramatic drop in egg production

    Finished our coop!

    Your coop looks great! How did you secure your roosting bars to still lift out of the way?

    Possible mystery breed

    I bought 2 sapphire gems and 2 blue giants in the same trip from TSC and now I’m pretty sure I have a rooster which is fine with me but I’m unsure of the breed. When I looked up both breeds it doesn’t really look like either and the only reason I care is temperament possibilities. TIA for any...

    Green eggs

    That’s a great idea, thanks! I have 22 laying but I know which 20 are laying which eggs. One of the BYM had her comb pecked off before I got her so I’m not sure if she’s laying or not but I will definitely give the camera a try

    Olive Egger Now Laying Blue Eggs

    I had 3 olive eggers until we had a coyote attack that left me with just one sweet girl who now lays blue eggs. I assumed it was the trauma since she was a new layer at the time. It’s been about a year and she still gives blue

    Green eggs

    I purchased 4 starlight green eggers about 6 weeks ago since I didn’t have green eggs and now I have a surprise green egg.
