    Bloody poo no other symptoms

    This is the board. There were several bloody stools in the nest box and in the coop as well. 2 nights of poop from 5 chickens.

    Bloody poo no other symptoms

    2 nights ago I noticed a single bloody stool in the coop. I watched the 5 girls all day but never saw anything else. Today I went to let them out and it almost looked like a murder scene in the coop. They knocked the board I had covering the nest boxes down and turned it into a lovely droppings...

    Barred Rocks - All Pullets?

    Thanks everyone! Any guesses on the Buff and EE? I have a 2nd EE that's really shy. Her coloring is opposite of the one that is pictured here - so dark head, light body.

    Barred Rocks - All Pullets?

    I have six 8 week old Barred Rocks. I only plan on keeping 2 of the six. Before I find them new homes I'd like to make sure they're all females. Based on coloring it looks to be a yes, but I know it's not the only thing that comes into play.

    4 Day Old Chick with backwards head

    Yes. Wry neck. I'd seen it called so many things I just went with the technical term I guess. Thanks for that link. I hadn't come across that one yet.

    4 Day Old Chick with backwards head

    I've been trying to figure out what's going on with one of my new chicks. She's been fine until this afternoon when I noticed her laying in the brooder with her head doing a complete 180. I've been giving her electrolytes via a dropper and then this evening did poly-vi-sol, E, and selenium...

    Heat Lamp in Texas?

    Thanks. At night it stays pretty close to the outdoor temps, maybe a little cooler. It's definately not 70 like in the house.

    Heat Lamp in Texas?

    I'm getting my first chicks next week. They'll be in a brooder in the garage. We have insulated doors so it doesn't reach 100 in there it does get to the upper 80s. Do I need a heat lamp? Maybe just at night? Or for the first week or so?

    Deer and Chickens

    We have a lot of deer that roam into our backyard. Or should I say, just jump the measly chain link fence into the backyard. The chickens were out over the weekend in the yard and I'm wondering if one got in the way of a deer. I found her dead this morning and she had what looked like a lot of...

    Nope. She hasn't started. Not sure what's taking so long.

    7 month old Wyandotte not laying

    I have a 7 month old that's still not laying. She is on the bottom of the pecking order. Do you think stress couldbe the reason behind it? She otherwise seems healthy.

    What can I do to help my chickens lay?

    Mine have all started laying small eggs that get a bit bigger a few weeks after their first lay. Not a lot bigger, but just a bit.
