Hi everyone...well our chickens are getting closer to that magical number lol They will be 18 wks in 10 days. My questions is it ok to start putting out a little dish of oyster shells now??

Can I use first aid gauze and first aid tape. I dont have vet tape. Do I just tuck it under the bigger wing. Sorry just a newbie trying my best. Not sure on certain names for the wings. Should I put Blu-Kote on the wound also

I was wondering about that, because on the bag of crumbles it says transition at 18 weeks, which will be around the middle of august. Not even sure if they will lay eggs this year. I have read that most chickens wont lay in the winter months. Being from Wyoming, cold weather can start as...

Ok, sounds good, thank you

I am curious as to when I can transition my 7 weeks old chicks from medicated crumbles to All Flock pellets. They have been outside in their coop now for almost two weeks and are growing fast and getting little personalities. I am almost out of the 50 lb bag of crumbles and already have a 50...

I am so frustrated!! I went out to the coop this morning and there was some blood on the ground. I noticed blood dripping from the hens blood feathers. At least I think that is what they are. I will post the pics I have. So I got ahold of her and cleaned her up the best I could for now and...

So as my ducks are getting bigger, now at 7 weeks old, I am noticing that one of them is constantly picking on one and being bossy towards her. I am almost positive that I have 2 drakes and one hen. Poor hen can't even swim in the pool without being bullied. She just bobs her head in the...

My ducks are 6 weeks old now and wondering if I can start feeding them All Flock pellets instead of the crumbles. Package of crumbles says to feed them up to 4 weeks old.

Just curious with using grit. Is it ok to sprinkle some into the ducklings crumbles or not. They are almost 6 weeks old.

I finally got my brewers yeast with garlic flavoring (Thomas Lab brand) and wanting to start feeding it to my 3 Khaki Campbells and 4 week old chicks and on the container it just says 1/2 a scoop. Scoop is small, about a tsp in size. Is that about right to start feeding them that amount or...

Thanks to all of you with the warm welcome :) We have 6 Anacona chicks and 3 Khaki Campbell ducklings. For the life of me I can't remember what the other 8 chicks are. Im sure the memory will kick in otherwise it will drive me bonkers lol Enjoy the day..going to be warm n sunny here in...

Hi All..just wanted to introduce myself and give you alittle insight to my new madness/adventure!! My husband and I are from Wyoming and we just purchased a home about a year ago on almost a acre of land. So we decided about a month ago to invest in some chickens for egg laying. Then we...
