    How long for separation?

    This wasn’t one of my pullets- she’s actually my largest hen, the rest are medium sized hens and she’s a buff Orpington. I put the vetricyn on her and covered it in hen healer. She wasn’t actively bleeding and it was dry and black. I put her back in the run and she went straight to the coop.

    How long for separation?

    Ginger is definitely not one I’d handle without a towel, she still pecked me when trying to rinse her. I usually do my checks and sprays at night too! I’ve been lucky to not have any issues until yesterday but my girls are my babies and I was so anxious! I know she doesn’t want to be in the...

    How long for separation?

    I don’t have a rooster, just 5 generally docile ladies who are pretty good with eachother! My 2 pullets should start laying any day now so I suppose it could be a nesting box issue. Miss Ginger is a real digger so I was thinking maybe she had her head down making an hole and caught it on the...

    How long for separation?

    Thank you! The only reason I put her in the garage last night in the see no touch kennel is because it was near dusk and I didn’t have a way to keep her safe in my run at night. I only have 1 lg kennel so we set her up in the garage waiting on meds. Thank you! The only reason I put her in the...

    Do they have that at TSC? This is our first chicken injury. Our TsC was out of poultry veterycyn yesterday so I had to order some.

    How long for separation?

    Hi chicken tenders! I went out to collect my eggs yesterday and found my Ginger’s head all bloody. I have no idea what happened but her feathers were ALL fluffed and she had a clear comb injury. She is probably my least handleable hen but under the circumstances let me snag her and was chill...

    Overwhelmed with layer feed!

    Hiya chicken tenders! So I have a flock with 2 older pullets (around 18 weeks) and 3 laying hens. I’ve had them on Kalmbach flock maker crumbles since I got them. They also get bar ale scratch and encore greens since they don’t free range with an occasional scoop of BSF or mealworms. Now that my...

    Adding pullets to the flock

    I love mine. We’re in FL so the bugs are plentiful. It’s so easy to keep clean and keeps the bugs and critters at bay!

    Adding pullets to the flock

    I’ve got the cube and won’t put more than 5 in there:) 4 are medium sized and I guess my Ginger is considered large. I really only wanted 4 but realized my EE that was raised with the silkies (that got a new home) needed a friend so she didn’t head into the coop integration alone. So...

    Adding pullets to the flock

    Thank you, I’ll try stocking them in during the day like you said. I have a new layer (2 eggs so far, YAY!) so I’m not entirely sure of her schedule yet. I have an Omlet coop (please no judgement, I still haven’t figured out why everyone hates them- I love it) and my 3 hens all have their sleep...

    I snagged an itty bitty…

    Thank you! My little Waffles is still smaller but seems to have had a spurt the past week or so and is slowly catching up. I think she’s also just petite🫶🏼

    Adding pullets to the flock

    Hello chicken tenders! I have 3 hens and 2 pullets in my flock. My frizzle EE and cream legbar pullets are in the midst of integration. We did several weeks of see don’t touch where I put them in a crate within the run during the day and at night took them back to their coop. The past few days...

    I snagged an itty bitty…

    Hi chicken mamas and papas! I’ve had a split flock until a few days ago. I had silkies I raised up with my frizzle EE in their own coop and then 3 full sized hens in another. I realized two coops plus their temp box for cleaning time was a lot of work so my silkies found a new home and I snagged...
