    Eggshell question

    Hello. Every once in awhile we will get an egg that has a somewhat transparent spot. It’s mostly on our white eggs but I have seen it on some of the colored eggs too. I have checked to see if there are cracks but I don’t see any and the area is not soft - just looks kind of transparent. Does...

    Reposting because hen could be ill

    I am not sure if my hen is egg bound but also don’t want to not treat her if she is. Will extra calcium hurt her if she is not egg bound?

    Reposting because hen could be ill

    I don’t see undigested food but what I saw earlier was the first poop of hers that I saw recently. What kind of calcium citrate and how much should I give? Is it ok to give if she end up not being egg bound? Thanks.

Our olive egger started acting a little differently about 2 nights ago when I found her in a nesting box at bedtime. I moved her out of the box and she didn’t go back. Yesterday she was less active than normal but...

    Does she look ill to you? I am most worried about her being less active and the way she is standing. I don’t know how to describe it - kind of scrunched up.

    Our olive egger started acting a little differently about 2 nights ago when I found her in a nesting box at bedtime. I moved her out of the box and she didn’t go back. Yesterday she was less active than normal but got up to eat and move around. We gave her an epsom salt bath just in case...

    Rain Barrel Waterer System

    If anyone has any photos of the system they have set up, I would appreciate seeing them. The photo I attached to my original post is just one a took off of google to show the possible type of system I would like to create for my chickens.

    Rain Barrel Waterer System

    Thanks for everyone's replies so far. I too was wondering about somehow filtering the water. We are located in the Northeast in Pennsylvania so we will have issues with both the water getting hot and freezing.

    Rain Barrel Waterer System

    Hi - I am looking at creating a type of watering system like the one in the photo I attached. I am curious if anyone has experience with one and if the water in the summer gets hot. I am worried it could get as hot as the water in my garden hose when I first turn it on after a very hot day...

    New hens keeping to themselves

    I appreciate this. They seem content and are able to eat and drink. I am glad there is hope they will all hang out together one day. Thank you.
