    Has anyone used these Chicken blinders?

    The recommendation is 2-3 sq foot per bird if they have access to outside run and/or free range. I have 160 sq feet of coop space, 100sq feet outside run and they free range. If I go with 3 sq ft per bird I technically have room for 50 birds in the coop. I really don't think its the coop or...

    HELP!! is this chick stuck??!!

    I would give her a full 24 hours, make sure humidity is high in the incubator so it doesn't dry out. I have had eggs look like this for more than 24 hours and then all of a sudden they hatch.

    What chicken breeds are most likely to go broody?

    I have three of these feeders, hold 35# of feed and each is rated for 20 birds, so I figured I had plenty of feeders, they never fight over the feeders, always multiple holes open for birds.

    I am very observant of the flock when I am home, have several ISA browns and novogen hens that are red sex links with Rhode Island reds, that seem to be doing observed picking. Will start with them.

    Has anyone used these Chicken blinders?

    Hmmm didn't think about nutrient deficiency, what could they possibly be missing? I feed high quality feed, made locally at my feed store, have oyster shell always available, feed veggies from the garden, and they free range. Any thoughts?

    I have a flock of 40 hens, in a huge coop (160 sq feet, 16 nesting boxes and more than enough roosts for all and their friends) with outside run and they free range. These girls have been together in this coop for 2.5 months. Lately I have a huge picking problem, causing bleeding and injury to...

    To eat or not to eat?

    Funny thing, she can't actually eat eggs. She is worried that I am selling eggs for eating to coworkers that are potentially fertilized.

    To eat or not to eat?

    That will probably be the plan eventually, but she is worried that I am selling eggs to eat to coworkers that are potentially fertilized.

    To eat or not to eat?

    My other half and I are not in agreement on this.... We have a rooster that grew up with the hens, should have been a hen but you know how that goes. He has started to mate with some of the girls. I collect eggs several times a day. If the egg has been fertilized can we still consume them...
