    Worming chickens

    We bought wazine17 to worm our chickens but there is a warning saying do not give to chickens for human consumption. Is it safe to give to our chickens? How long do we have to wait until we eat the eggs? Is there another product we could use safely? We have a couple of our chickens with...

    Worming chickens

    We bought wazine17 to worm our chickens but there is a warning on the bottle that says do not use on chickens producing eggs for human consumption. Can we use this on our chickens and do we have to throw away the eggs for a certain period of time? If we can't eat the eggs, how long until we can...

    Soft Egg Shell

    We are feeding them laying pellets and laying crumbles for chickens so I think they are getting what they need. As far as vit.D, they are out in the sun daily. We actually have 3 road island reds. It is one of them laying the soft egg shell. The other hens lay different looking eggs. We will...

    Soft Egg Shell

    We checked our food and it has 3.9% calcium and it has phosphorus in it also. We also limit the amount of scratch we give them. She is molting a lot so we didn't know if that has something to do with her soft eggs!

    Soft Egg Shell

    She has laid about 4 days in a row and they were all soft. I guess we will have to worm them. They usually eat the oyster shell we have out for them but maybe she isn't eating any. They have plenty of water around. I don't know if she is getting scared away or not. We will have to keep a close...

    Soft Egg Shell

    She is about 2yrs. old. We give them oyster shell already. Maybe it was just one of those fluke things that happens!! Thanks for answering my question.

    Soft Egg Shell

    One of our hens has laid an egg with a very soft almost transparent egg shell. Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

    They're hatching!

    How cute!!! We hatched our fist chick about 3 weeks ago. It was fun watching and waiting for the chick to stick its head out from under its mom!!!!

    Red Rooster Inn

    We did not have any drawn up plans, we just knew what we wanted and built it. The dimentions of our coop are 12' x12' over all, including the front porch. Our inside dimentions are 8' x 12'. We have one walk in door for us to enter and one walk in door for the chickens to enter. We have three...
