    Getting some chicks...

    We currently have 6 hens (2 years old almost, EE, Black Australorp, Buff Orp, Silver Laced Wyandotte (2) and a Barnevelder). I can either order some new chicks online, or I can get what I want (mostly) via a local feed shop, BUT if I want to get the Blue Australorp, cream legbar and cuckoo...

    Bloody egg white

    This morning making eggs - one of our eggs we cracked open the entire white of the egg was bloody. Not like a single egg spot but the entire egg white. Is this ok? Should I be concerned over this hen?

    Sick chicken

    Ok that’s what I thought. This is my coop and run. Just in the middle of cleaning. Lots of ventilation and space in their covered run as well as under the coop. They don’t hang out in the coop and many days are in the yard.

    Sick chicken

    soo just noticed one of our chickens is sneezing. I had noticed some of their waddles have gotten pale but I attributed this to it being winter and them lying less in general (dumb noobie mistake). So I’m off to get supplies to clean the coop/run and treat the flock (6 in total). My main...

    Chicken injury help

    I heard some odd sounding chicken egg song so I went outside to check on them. I walked past Slayer (black australorp) and then noticed she was hanging upside down from the swing we have in their run, her foot had gotten tangled and she was stuck. I picked her up and untangled her. It doesn’t...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    We got 1!!! Which happens to be our first one. Hubby is joking it’s the $4,000 egg and the rest are “golden” 🤣 it’s sooo cute and tiny. Now to figure out who laid it. Only three of our flock are mature enough, one buff Orpington and two silver laced Wyandotte’s. Kiddo wants to camp outside...

    If you kept only one breed...

    I'm fairly new to chickens (ours are just 15 weeks old if I did my math right). But out of the variety we have (Buff Orpington, Barnevelder, Silver Laced Wyandotte, EE, Black Australorp), our hands down favorite bird is our Australorp (Slayer). She's a hoot, super friendly, such pretty...

    Was this a bad idea?

    thank you! And yes it gets direct sun in the am and shade right before noon for the rest of the day. We see all of them up on the roost bar during the day just not at night.Ventilation on every wall except the shared wall against the garage wall. And yes to hardware cloth around everything...
