    Sick chickens and eggs

    Thanks for the feedback! I’m reading so many mixed things about it and now I’m paranoid about the eggs! Most of the stuff I found (even about the two diseases you listed) said you can still eat the eggs as long as they’re cooked properly, but every once and a while I can across something that...

    Sick chickens and eggs

    Hi everyone! Sadly, some of my chickens got sick and although most were fine in a few days with some extra probiotics and vetRX and electrolytes, not all of them made it. There was some sneezing and coughing and some had swollen eyes. Minus the few that didn’t make it (), they are all fine and...

    Advise about mold/rot on new coops

    I emailed customer service this morning to see what they say and worst case maybe they will replace at least the cracked pieces for me. Fingers crossed... I am going to clean the mold and get some paint today and see if that helps as well. I may have to add or replace some parts on my own but I...

    Advise about mold/rot on new coops

    Since they sat outside in the rain for a while then I wouldn’t be able to do that unfortunately. It’s my fault. However, they may be willing to replace the cracked pieces because that’s damage that was probably already there since those pieces we between packing materials and were not damaged by...

    Advise about mold/rot on new coops

    So we bought two chicken coops on sale at the local tractor supply just to add to our others. However we have had a lot going on and haven’t had time to build them so they’ve been sitting in the yard for 2/2.5 months In the box getting rained on... bad decision on our parts. Life happens I...

    Brooder box vs stock tank

    I was considering purchasing the 100 gallon galvanized stock tank from my local tractor supply for baby chicks. They’re the ones they use to sell baby chicks out of BUT my question is... how many will it hold as they get bigger before being coop ready (5-6 weeks) and will it be too short??

    Hens or Roos

    Thanks everyone! I thought he was a Roo! I will work on getting a picture of his face if I can! I’m glad to hear that Cruela is a pullet. The hatchery still says that the cockerel is an ameraucana breed but I’m not a pro of the differences in breeds. Either way he’s a beauty and I’ve fallen...

    Hens or Roos

    Hi everybody!! I have a flock of 14 hens... supposed to be 14 hens anyway. I’m 99.9% sure my Ameraucana “Peggy Sue” is actually a Roo! I am renaming him Pegasus I suppose. I have my suspicions about my Barred Rock (Cruela) as well. I was hoping I could post some pictures and get some insight...

    Introducing chickens to coop

    So I just wanted to update everyone! All ten chickens spent their first night in the coop last night. They did great!! Now they are happily playing in the run/eating lots of bugs!! I’ve seen them all drink from the hydrator, but not all eat from the feeder yet. They are super happy chickens...

    Introducing chickens to coop

    Sorry, I’m still new and wasn’t sure on how to do that! I’m in willow Spring, NC. Right now our lows are still around 65/70 at the lowest! Our days can be anywhere from 80 to high 90s right now.

    Introducing chickens to coop

    I also want to add that the run is still being worked on which is why I wanted to clarify if they needed to be in just the coop of if the coop & run were okay . I’ll probabky do both as I’m about to finish getting everything set up now. I was going to do hanging food/waterers but since they’re...

    Introducing chickens to coop

    Their ages range from 3 1/2 to 7 weeks old (give or take) and the biggest ones have been super ready but there was a delay in our coop. I’ve been giving them all outside time together everyday but I’m worried that if they all go in at once the smallest won’t be ready for the coop. They all...
