    6 month old Buff Brahma Sexing

    Hi everyone, I bought a sexed Buff Brahma hen who I am now thinking may be a male? Fuzz (his/her name) is confusing me a lot. Fuzz is about six months old, hasn’t laid any eggs, and we haven’t heard any crowing. But Fuzz also has prominent saddle feathers and hackle feathers. Anyone with more...

    Pecking Injury - Temporary Loss of Bloodflow

    So you don’t think we should be concerned that her earlobe is pretty white now?

    Pecking Injury - Temporary Loss of Bloodflow

    Hi everyone We went away for the holiday and when we returned we saw one of our hens had a decently deep wound next to her ear. Based on the shape of the cut we’re guessing someone pecked her pretty bad. Originally it was very swollen and the lower part of her earlobe was dark purple like it...

    Rooster Hurting Hens?

    Moisture in Coop - Considering Pellets

    Sorry for the confusion, I accidentally wrote hay, but we use straw. We use only straw as our bedding material. Won’t paper/cardboard be far less effective at absorbing moisture and keeping the coop dry? Do you have any recommendations for mouse proof feeders? Thanks!

    Moisture in Coop - Considering Pellets

    Thanks for the advice. The coop is larger than shown in the picture (that was just a quick pic I was able to get). We have several roosting spots, nesting boxes, and one window covered in hardware cloth on the opposite wall from all the roosting spots. We also have a double door system for the...

    Moisture in Coop - Considering Pellets

    Thanks for the suggestions. I have a basic raised wooden chicken coop. It’s hard to get good pictures right now because it’s so cold and snowy outside, but here is one (we have roosting and nesting boxes off to the side). The only ventilation options we have is a small window we can crack (not...

    Moisture in Coop - Considering Pellets

    This is a long post but I would love some advice as I’ve found myself in a cold wet mousey dilemma. Winter has set in and brought snow with it. Something (maybe my chickens tracking in snow mixed with the continual snow falling) is causing the coop to get very moist. We use straw bedding because...
