    Roo? Easter egger

    I have a chicken that I believe is a roo. Bought from either tractor supply or a hatchery. We got multiples chickens from 2 different places. I do have a bigger roo that is in the coop was well. Breed is Easter Egger. When this dude stands, his tail is erect some of the time.

    What breed?

    I was first told that this hen was an Easter Egger. She lays light green eggs (not blue as originally thought!). Her ears and lack of beard are throwing me for a loop. Cream Legbar? Hybrid?

    Scabbed lump on the back of my EE

    I have an EE that is less than 6 months old, not laying yet. We noticed a couple of weeks ago that she has a lump on her back, near her wing. We haven't been able to catch her until today when she was allowing us to pick her up. The picture is what we found on her back. We put her in a cage on...

    One hen getting picked on

    She doesn't seem to be sick or injured. She hasn't laid any eggs for a while now too. She is the sweetest, most tame girl we have.

    One hen getting picked on

    Hello! I have 6 girls that share a coop, run, and free range play yard. It seems as though one hen in particular is getting picked on. No one else is missing feathers from their lower back and tail. I cleaned the coop out this morning to find a lot of her feathers in it. We got the girls all...

    Switch to sand?

    I would love to hear other input as well. Where are you located in the country? The regimen we do now is pine shavings in the coop and nesting boxes. My husband just spread PDZ all around the coop and inside. It's a constant struggle with flies here in florida.

    Switch to sand?

    We have had our coop up and running for about 2-3 months. We live on the eastern coast of Florida where it's hot, humid, and rainy. My coop is in the shade and we allow our hens to free range during the day. We currently just have whatever is left from them digging up the grass around the coop...

    Things to entertain hens?

    Free range flies

    I have 6 girls that we let free range during the day. They have a 30x20 area in the yard that we have fenced off for them. It is shaded with a big tree. I'm having issues with flies around my run and coop. We clean the inside of the coop weekly and I rake the sand that they have dug up around...

    Needing ideas

    Looking for any and all ideas on what I can do with a plastic water softener container. I have two that were given to me. I'm thinking of collecting rain water or even a compost bin.
