    Chicken-ma-hall!

    We are hitting the triple digits this week. That little coop is for my young chicks to play in for short periods during the day. The large coop is for my adult chickens, but they free range so they were off chasing bugs somewhere shady at that time.

    I use one, and never had that problem. Mine is very reliable. Perhaps you got a bad one.

    Age? Breed?

    Hello all I hope you can help me I got these chicks from TSC, and they told me that they were two-day-old Olive eggers. I have no idea what Olive eggers look like because I've never had any before but my previous group of chicks certainly didn't look this mature at 2 days old. Can anybody take a...

    Eat eggs after sour crop?

    Hello, all! Well I had to deal with my first sicky chicky. She had sour crop, and she seems to be feeling a whole lot better now. While she was sick, she didn't lay any eggs, this is normal, right? She has started laying again, and I am wondering if it is safe to eat these eggs. I treated her...

    Little eggs, disappointment?

    I don't mind the little eggs :) I do agree that it'll be much more exciting when my little velociraptors start laying themselves, though🤩🤩🐔

    Little eggs, disappointment?

    Hello, all! Since my hens are only 9 weeks old, I am still buying eggs from a local farm. Today I bought two dozen and when I got them home I saw that there were a few tiny eggs in there, presumably from new layers. I proceeded to "oogle" over how cute they were, and how somebody just graduated...

    Watery or gelatinous stools

    Thank you. I offer them chick grit, the tiny stuff. Do you think I should change to the full sized stuff? I felt her crop, it feels like play dough. Is that how it's supposed to feel? First time chicken mama here.

    Watery or gelatinous stools

    One of my 6.5 week old chicks has runny stools. She is eating and drinking okay, and plays in the yard with the others. Should I be worried? I did just move them to their new coop, could it be stress? I started offering hydrahen.
