    New to backyard chickens! I need help!

    Ouch! 😖 No free shipping? I didn’t realize that.

    Is my Americauna a hen or rooster?

    I hope you’re able to keep him. He’s going to be very handsome!

    For those who ferment: how do you handle (human) vacations?

    Thanks. This gets mentioned at times in connection with posts asking for help with eggshell problems.

    For those who ferment: how do you handle (human) vacations?

    @Perris, this is more of a forage/treat question, but is there research on how much spinach it takes to interfere with calcium absorption? And does this also happen for other dark green leafy vegetables?

    Which Vetericyn? Building a first aid kit

    Now this is interesting, for the gel wound sealant. I don’t want to think of band-aids on feathers. I can grab this on the next Autoship order, thanks!

    Which Vetericyn? Building a first aid kit

    Thank you so much! Adding full name here, in case the link breaks in the future: Vetericyn Plus Antimicrobial Poultry Care Spray, 8 fl oz bottle. This is helpful, because some of the product descriptions weren’t for antimicrobial. And Autoship is $19.94, almost exactly what I needed for free...

    Which Vetericyn? Building a first aid kit

    Hi all, I searched here on BYC and mostly found references to just “Vetericyn”; sometimes Vetericyn spray. I’m ordering off Chewy, and they have many, many Vetericyn products from there. Could someone share exactly which version they use (strength, etc.), or even better, post a pic of it...

    1 chicken has decided to sleep outside?

    Ok, interesting. (I wondered since she’s a silkie, and it’s common for them to cuddle puddle on the floor.) But the floor of the coop is higher than her new outdoor sleeping spot, right? So it’s not that she wants to sleep higher up?

    Attempting Fermenting

    I bought the dog bowls in the early days (when none of us know what to do, haha), but the stand is tall enough that they would have just climbed on in. Probably napped. But it works well as they approach POL (point of lay.)

    Please help!! My chicks are freaking out and I have no idea why

    Did you buy the chicks from a retail outlet? Tractor Supply, etc. The labeling of breeds (and sexes) on the bins o’ chicks at these places can be pretty humorous, at best.

    1 chicken has decided to sleep outside?

    Is she sleeping on the ground or up on something? In other words, is her outdoor sleeping spot higher than her indoor spot?

    Can I have your Rollaway Nesting Box Suggestions?

    I think I get what you're describing, but could you post a photo when you have a chance?

    Attempting Fermenting

    Agree with nuthatched and Altairsky. The question for whether to ferment is driven by feed form. Use fermentation if you have a whole-grain formulation (goes by various terms.) If the feed is in pellet, mini-pellet, or crumble form, just dampen it, which will help the bits stick together...
