    white bumps on earlobes

    Has anyone ever seen white lumps develop on a chicken's earlobe? If so, what is known about this? Is it a symptom of something? Our lavender orpington has this. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

    French Blk Copper Maran Not Laying

    We have a French blk copper maran who is now just 11 mos old. I’m just concerned about her starting her egg laying and when it could be. Hubby says to be patient but I’m curious about what others may think. Any helpful info would be appreciated.

    Reintegrating Pullet Back into Flock

    The brooder pen is secure. It’s the same pen that we used when we were integrating the baby girls to the big girls. It worked quite well. We have been having her in it all day and bringing her in at night. It’s been dropping into high 30’s and low 40’s at night. Only thing is she would be alone...

    Adding to the flock

    Our run is a total of 540 square feet. We have 10 chickens in total. The younger ones are in a pen that is taking 28 sq ft of that space. We do plan on getting a larger coop for the girls as we know they will need more space for sleeping. Hope this explains more clearly. 😊
