    Is there a freshness test without water?

    I have more than I was able to use up. I don't refrigerate mine so they are currently in a basket. I was planning on handing some out to friends and family, but would like to make sure they are fresh without ruining the bloom on them.

    Is there a freshness test without water?

    I know you can check to see their freshness with the water test. My concern/ questions is.. Will the bloom come off of them using that method? Is there another way to check the freshness without the water test? I don't want the bloom to come off of them from putting them in water.

    Clipped wings: will they still be able to get to their roost?

    What do you mean a bilateral clip? I though you just cut the flight feathers to their secondary ones. I just follow the line. Maybe I don't do it right🤔

    Clipped wings: will they still be able to get to their roost?

    I need to clip my leghorns wings. They are now flying out of their run and going to visit our neighbors house 🤦‍♀️. Before any time they got out they stayed in the yard. I know how to clip their wings but was curious as to how high leghorns can jump with one clipped wing? Or should I do both...

    Sand in coop is wet.

    We recently got a lot of rain( last weekend) and my coop took on some water. My coop is in the back of my shed and when we had a lot of rain it filled the back of my shed right next to my coop. It also got into my coop and the sand in it is all wet and damp now. The coop now smells and the sand...

    New coop for chickens

    Mine are constantly trying to find a way to escape the run lol. From what I've read they can jump up to 6ft, so had to make a few more adjustments to our temporary run for them. Whenever I get home from work I usually have three who have escaped. Luckily my neighbor helps out and puts them back...

    New coop for chickens

    Will they still lay eggs or would they stop for the time being locked up? I was concerned that they would stop so I ended up opening up the old coop for the morning so they would still lay their eggs. If they stop would that be bad for them?

    New coop for chickens

    T Thank you, this helps a lot. I'll show this to my husband so we can adjust the coop some more. Thank you, I really enjoy my hens. They are actually very friendly and enjoy to be petted and held. Never thought chickens were like that when we first got them.

    New coop for chickens

    My husband just did this for the time being.. got to add hardwire cloth still. But it's open to the rest of the shed. And the shed isn't insulated.

    New coop for chickens

    I would still need ceiling ventilation even if the rest of the shed is open?

    New coop for chickens

    My husband and I turned part of our shed/garage into a new coop for our chickens. We added two nesting boxes, a 46 inch in length roost which is 3 inches wide for them and sand for the floor( all-purpose from homedepot). There's still a little more to do I think, like add a window/more light...

    Chicken is having dark green poop

    In my area it’s currently 60 degrees Fahrenheit and should get to 70F. Is that temp ok for a bath outside?
