    All year long laying?

    How can I get my birds to lay throughout winter? Is there anything I can do to help egg production in winter? What breeds are known for laying throughout winter? I have so many questions!😂

    De-Worming Med?

    They're on the Purina starter and grower and it's medicated. They also get fresh veggies daily and forage through grass and other small plants like dandelions. I'll try to get some good pics tomorrow morning. Thanks!!

    De-worming and Wazine Concern

    Hello! I know this post is old but I'm hoping to get some help. I have 5 six week old chicks and I'm pretty sure they have worms but how should I dose them? Thanks!

    De-Worming Med?

    I just have 5 six week old chicks. Their poop is watery and has some bubbles but I wouldn't say it's foamy. These are my first round of chicks in my adult hood (had some as a kid) so I'm newer to this. The research I've done says they could have worms. They're also on a medicated feed

    Looking for silkie rooster!

    Hello! I am looking for a silkie rooster chick to add to my flock. I have 5, 1 month old pullets right now and would like to purchase a young silkie cockrel or chick. I am in West Michigan and would prefer to pick up any potential chicks, but I'm not opposed to shipping. Thanks!

    Best rooster breeds

    I forgot to add that the reason I want a rooster is mainly for protection of my flock. They will be free rangers for a portion of the day then in a coup and run. The next priority would be breeding for potential stock. I want my hens to feel safe and relaxed so they can lay to their potential

    Best rooster breeds

    Hello everyone! I'm looking to bring a rooster into my flock. I'm hoping to get a rooster that is alert, friendly and somewhat docile so he doesn't year up my hens. From the research I've done Australorps and Brahma seem like good options. I'm just worried about size, I don't want them to...

    Egg production

    I'm looking for recommendations of chicken breeds with high egg production. All the research I have done hasn't been very productive. What breeds lay the most in your flock? Of course I love chickens and don't plan to pump as many eggs out of them as I can, I would just like to keep my flock on...

    When to move young chickens to coop

    Hello everyone! I have 5 week old chickens and they are almost to big for their night time brooder. At what age is it okay to move them to the coop? If it's okay to move them now they will still have access to a heat lamp. My coops interior is 8x5, is this to big? Thanks!!

    Opinion on hen or rooster?

    Hello! I purchased this little one as a Olive egger pullet 3 weeks ago, but I am now thinking she could possibly be male. She has the most comb development but is the smallest. She is also the most upright with very little breast depth. She is also the bravest and most curious. The last picture...

    Bonding?

    Hello everybody! Last Friday I picked up 5 chicks. I keep seeing that it's important to bond with them if I want them to be friendly as adults. How do you guys bond with your chicks?
