    4 1/2 week old pullets?

    Are any of these supposed pullets screaming any Roo vibes? The first one, Hazlenut the Easter Egger is quite quite larger than the other Easter Egger, Chickadee, the 3rd one. She is pretty tiny and very flighty. Hazlenut is by far the most shy and reserved of the 3. Sunshine, the Buff...

    Is this Fowl pox?!

    Does this look like fowl pox?! I have 4 girls and one of them has these black scab looking things on her comb. I’ve included pictures of her and her 3 sisters. If she does have it, will the other girls get it too? Can they be vaccinated at this age? They are 20 weeks. Or is it too late if...

    Can I turn my heat lamp off ? 15 day old chicks!

    I guess I’m going to have to start brooding them in the house this next week while we have a heat wave because there is no way to cool it down in the garage. I do put them outside in their coop run when I get home after work and on the weekend. Right now it’s 8:30 no heat lamp on and it’s 90...

    Can I turn my heat lamp off ? 15 day old chicks!

    No not I insulated so yes it gets hot. That’s why I’m so stressed out trying to keep them at the right temperature until they have their feathers and can go out to the coop in the mornings and back in brooder in evening. I brought them in the house today with no heater and they did great ...

    Scratch n Peck Feed

    I’ve actually considered just continuing the grower feed and offering oyster shell separately just because not all hens start laying at the exact same time so I don’t want to offer too much calcium to ones that aren’t ready to lay yet. I only have 4 hens. I think I will wait to start layer...

    Scratch n Peck Feed

    I haven’t tried fermenting yet but I do offer the feed dry all day in feeder and I also mix up a bowl with water and herbs to make a mash and give that to them daily as well. They love to have both and it also makes all the small particles stick together so they are getting it all.

    Scratch n Peck Feed

    So I'm using Scratch n Peck Grower feed right now for my pullets. Does anyone else here use this brand?? I'm trying to decided which layer formula I should use when it's time to switch. 16% protein or 18% protein?? They both say they have calcium but do I need to supplement oyster shell too...
