    Chickens earlobes turning white?

    I am new to having chickens but I thought I watched a YouTube video about being egg bound and getting white earlobes. Search and see if you find that video. He didn't give a bath he quarantine them and try to make a relax environment to help the chicken.

    Moulting chicken pecked on!

    The pecking was not persistent and the Australorp was not distressed there are three chickens in total and the Australorp is the only one moulting. I let them free range most of the day but they are in a pen most mornings. It is approx 8x3

    My dog is so obedient. He couldn't look at the chicken and resist chasing it, so he wouldn't look at the chickens.

    I'm in the stetson hills area. My first year too. I have an Isa Brown, Australorp and olive egger. I did cover any open areas around doors. I am nervous for tonight but they seem fine from the cold the last 24 hours. What breed are your chickens

    Keeping warm in winter

    I checked my humidity and it is 50% but it is snowing. The weather website says it it 91% humidity in my area. That seems good. In nice weather the humidity outside and in the coop have been very close

    Keeping warm in winter

    I check my ventilation with the same reader in the coop. I is usually close to the same humidity as outside or a little bit less humid than outside. I agree that the comb does get dirty. I have no idea if Vaseline works but I thought I'd try it on the very coldest nights. So you think it's ok...

    Anyone else ever planted vegetables for your hens?!

    I grow them in a hydroponic garden. It only takes two weeks to have micro greens. I am also trying to plant and grow a few cabbages to full size indoors. We will see if garden indoors is successful
