    BROODER thread! Post pics of your brooders!

    OMG! Contact paper! Thank you - That is so GENIUS!!! I loathe the top of the heater, so I’m definitely doing that next time. Love the whole setup! I haven’t conquered the watering via PVC/nipples but I really want to. This is just such an awesome setup.

    Black Copper Marans Question

    We bought three Black Copper Marans from the same place, born Oct 11, 2022 (7 months old). We have what we believed to be three hens, but one turned out to be a roo (beautiful picturesque roo in pics). One of the hens is laying for certain (seen) and she’s the one with the lighter, smaller...

    So sad! That’s my worry too! She’s so amazing, but I would never want her to suffer!

    Scissor Beak small but feisty

    We have a scissor beak hen. We actually named her Scissor. Lol. My question is if she will for sure lay eggs? She also has foot deformities and well… bless her! :) Scissors beak is pretty bad, but we hand feed her daily and we make sure she has access to mash. We used to grind food for her...

    HELP: Protruding and bleeding vent

    She is definitely constipated! Her last bowel she was wobbling side to side to get out and yell-chirping! We will try the oil too!

    HELP: Protruding and bleeding vent

    PS…. They are in a 4x4 brooder that will be get an added 4x4 in about a week for the days, when they don’t need quite as much heat, which will give them ~8x8 during the day, but back to the 4x4 for night if needing extra heat. :) Should be enough space!

    HELP: Protruding and bleeding vent

    She’s one of 20, all the same age, she’s midsize among them. We got from hatchery online and had 23, but 3 died in the few days, with no known cause, except one was so small and all three just seemed weak for some reason, but we tried everything. All others seem to be doing well thankfully...

    HELP: Protruding and bleeding vent

    2 week old chick, had pasty butt for about a week, vent started protruding, but she began to poop and stopped getting pasty finally! Then, today, she was bloody around it. Pic of how I found her and after I gently cleaned her up (and her resting after). Put tiny bit of Vaseline on it. She...

    Weird egg?

    I we have one hen that has been laying brown eggs for about a month, relatively consistent in color, but do vary in size some. And we have others that are getting close to laying - we are waiting. So, not positive who this came from. But it’s… super odd?! Any ideas?

    Chick name ideas!

    We like the cheesy names I guess… 😂 Our hens…. The fav is Hennifer, but we also have Zebie, Snuggles the Bandit, Robin, Chickadee, Sunflower, Beauty, Brownie, Minnie (she’s the tiny one), Elsa. Our roosters are Hei-Hei, Marty, and Eagle Newbies (girlies) are coming soon and we have been...
