    Poopy butt....and worms?

    Do you know how many things come up in the sear h with those words? So many, that I don't have time to read them ALL. Found a chicken with a poopy but, black runny poo all down her backside, flies were attracted. Went to simply wash her off and noticed a hard 'nodule' of some sort that I was...

    How to train your rooster?

    He's run up on me, my wife, and one of my kids so far. Scratched my daughter. That was last week. Yesterday he tried it on me, when I was getting them scratch no less! ungrateful jerk. LOL. Anyway, I was able to grab him and sit on him and hold him down until he submitted. I was able to then...

    My rooster wont stop crowing

    Well now it's time to train mine. He tried to run up on me this morning after letting them out. He has run up on my wife and daughter as well. I guess it's time to catch him and sit on him to show who is the real rooster in the yard. Oy, working with animals....lol.

    No. We live in the country and it's dark out here. No lights that I know of where the coop/run is.

    My rooster wont stop crowing

    He must really think my lovely bride is a threat. He constantly crows when she is sitting on the porch. It's the night crowing that surprised me. I thought that was only a daylight thing. Might have reconsidered the natural way to grow a flock....lol.

    My rooster wont stop crowing

    We have just added a roo to our flock. he came from one of my egg customers who finally got a little flock of her own going. She didn't want a roo though. I had no idea they would crow ALL hours of the day or night! Will he ever calm down at night?

    3 hens pecked to bloody!!

    Update: a week later. After thinning the flock, the egg production is back up to where it used to be, 8-9 eggs a day. I guess the 3 that were culled were not laying and causing stress to everyone else. I was also able to get everyone back on 30% protein food, as it has not been easy to find...

    Funny, I thought you were NY Corturnix from YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIUAGCGauCvEO5h0iIKs3w) I added some, maybe a tablespoon or so to a spry bottle filled with water. I saw it in one of Kenny's videos, but can't find it now.

    Well I did use your method of apple cider vinegar mixed with water to integrate some of my flock. Worked pretty well.

    So I did hear it correctly. Well, everyone seems to be fine now, and ended up with 28 birds in the freezer.

    3 hens pecked to bloody!!

    OK, well culled about 25 birds today and got the rest down to 4 cages of about 5-6 each. still 8 total in my one group that is fine with it. I guess I heard the math incorrectly somewhere. No worries. Dinner in the fridge works just as well. Thanks. Oh, BTW, I asked a question on the internet...

    Hmmm. I got these cage plans from Corturnix Corner and IIRC that is about what he has in his cages. They have been fine for months. I thought 1 square foot was for chickens. My chickens have a huge house now, and a fully netted yard.

    3 hens pecked to bloody!!

    What the heck!? Went out yesterday morning, checked the flocks....no issues. I have 5 cages with numerous birds. Some did not get food yesterday because today is culling day. Anyway, checked in on my 2 flocks of fertilizing layers, and 3 of the hens were all torn up! In one day! I only have 1...
