    Runny/odd poop

    Doing better! We will get a camera better positioned to see who is going in the nest box. As of right now, I just can see that someone goes in. I will start the dewormer tomorrow as I have two new girls coming in a few weeks, super egg-eciting! I have also read that lemongrass repels...

    Where should I put my brooder?

My garage has crazy temperature fluctuations, coop doesn't have electricity yet, so the the chicks ended up in the dining room, (we've been eating in the living room...)not ideal however, this worked out as one of the chicks had a pasting issue that needed to...

    Greetings from New Mexico

    Just getting back into backyard chickens after several years off. My first chicken was a plucked buff Orpington that I randomly chose during a White Elephant gift exchange (much to the relief of other party goers...). I am starting from ground zero, again so here I am. No hens yet, just...
