    1st year hens not laying

    My first thought was maybe they're still stressed out due to the predator attack.

    Topic of the Week - Feeding Chickens in Winter

    I do a little bit of all of the above. Not all at once, change it up a bit to keep it fun. Right now it is -12 without the wind chill which brings it down to -29. I work second shift so when I get home at 2:00 in the morning I go out there with a flashlight and some fermented grains/feed and...

    Hen not allowed back in the group

    I have no experience with roosters, as I live in the city. Is he only mean to her or others & people too? I think I would not keep him or at least separate him instead of the hen. Good luck with deciding.

    Lost my roosters :(

    Oh no... I am truly sorry for your loss! Can you send them in for necropsy to determine the cause of death? Any injuries that you can see? :hugs

    Bielefelder Rooster started walking in a straight up standing position since he was about 14 weeks old. He can't walk like a normal chicken.

    I do not see a video.

    Ended BYC's 2021 Spooktacular Halloween Hatch-Along—Pumpkin Carving Contest

    I haven't carved a pumpkin yet this year... Not even sure if I will be. I will post a pic if I do. But.... I feel the best thing to scrape out the inside of a pumpkin with is a flat canning jar lid- (no handle to get in the way).

    Do any of you have sand in the coop and deep litter in the run?

    My coop is inside my run. The coop is 6x10ish. Might be hard to see....All the way back in the coop is the roost bar, nesting boxes are below poop tray. Chopped straw is over linoleum back there. Sand is in the other section of the coop. I like them both, they have been working except when the...

    Chicken suddenly laying in poo under roost

    My suggestion is to put a poop board under the roost bar. The egg wouldn't have far to travel. Easy clean up. Nest boxes could go under the board for a bit more privacy & maybe staple up some fabric there too. Good luck.
