    BLRW cross beak chick :(

    Cross beak does not get worst, it is as bad as it is going to get. I have a cross beak chicken named Olive and she is doing just fine. She eats well, takes on my Roo and is very sweet! Just like people some come out a little special! I have no plans on breeding so I would never cull a cross beak...

    1 yr old hen sitting in nesting box x's 24 hours, not eating!!

    Sounds like you have a broody, at least to me. My chicken nuts will sit on eggs and make the most horrible sound you have ever heard and try to peck me when they want to be broody! I would put some food and water by her and take her off the nest for a few minutes so she goes to the bathroom...

    To Fridge or not to fridge ? That is my question !

    I tend to get lazy sometimes, and I will leave my eggs in the coop for 3-4 days. After that I throw them in the fridge. I didn't wash eggs until I started selling them and people like, well poop free eggs. If the egg is clean I don't wash it since its overkill. But now I have 3 broodys so I have...

    How many nesting boxes?

    I started out with 6 chickens and the next spring it has turned into 15. I have to build a new coop and everything. No matter if you think you will not get anymore chickens or not...you will! It is a horrible addiction, but the best therapy! I actually did not build any nest boxes for my...

    So DH went to the feed store....

    If you have extra eggs just give them away! Neighbors will love you, and not hate your roo so much LOL! I sell enough to cover food costs and then give away the rest!

    Do Hens have spurs?

    I have a buttercup that has huge spurs, I believe they bigger then my Roo's. And she uses them on him when he gets to frisky!

    Do your chickens eat worms??

    I started composting with worms so that my chickens could eat them and they love it when I bring them a scoop of fresh worms! I feel a bit bad for the worms but, they should not be so tasty or the chickens would not eat them!

    Hen picking on tiny hen...

    My very tiny frizzle had a prolapsed vent so she was out of the coop for about 2 weeks recovering. Now since I reintroduced her to the flock they have been plucking her and making her bleed. I have her in a sectioned off part of the coop now so she can see the others but they cannot pick on her...

    Can I feed my free range chickens Meat? If so, What kinds?

    You can feed your chickens meat, but personally I think that it is very gross. In a chickens typical diet they do eat "meat" like bugs and sometimes frogs and mice but not any large animals. Raw meat can have bacteria that can make them sick. I would avoid meat, feed them veggie scraps and then...

    How can I help my hens become broody???

    I have the opposite problem, all of my chickens want to go broody! My crazy silkie loves sitting on eggs and now I have a frizzle sitting, I am going to candle tonight. Then I catch my other chickens trying to kick them off the nest so they can have a go at it. Happy chickens make happy chicks...

    newbie questions about free range

    My chickens would go back in their coop for treats, but now that does not work. I started to let my chicken friends out a few hours before dark. I have major hawk and dog problems so I have to stand by my chickens or something will try to eat them. I would lock your chickens up at night just to...

    Prolapsed vent-Fixed but what now?

    It does not seem to be inflamed. I have decided not to use the Duramycin and just give her the medicated chick food for a few more days. She is pirching on the side of the rubbermaid tub that she is in so she seems to be doing just fine, but I am just a worried chicken mom. I will observe her...
