I have one-year-old hens. About 40 of them. They are eating more than they ever have and in the last 2-3 days have almost stopped laying altogether. They are shacking their heads like when they have runny noses but they don't. Some are scratching their eyes. I have checked them for mites and...
I'm sure when spring arrives- if it ever does- they will go broody. My biggest problem is I'm impatient, and this is a hobby that takes a lot of patients. I would like to try and incubate some eggs even if my girls go broody. I just hear so many horror stories about incubators.
A few of my chickens are showing signs of possibly gape worms. Sneezing snotty noses and wheezing wile the breath. And some sort of a caugh or maybe just a sneeze. I'm going to start them in a dewormer tomorrow. Any thing else I need to be looking for. Some of my hens, and I'm not sure wict ones...
A question. Are the forced air incubators that you buy at your local feed store worth the money. Is there any success with this or will I be wasting my time. I know you have to have an egg turner, thermo and humitty gauge and a fan. That's what comes in the deluxe incubator. Problem I'm having...

This looks like the right thread to ask this question. I've not seen a beak gap like this. The chick scrape its beak on the floor but I don't know if it also needs to be trimmed. She's eating and drinking fine and doesn't seem to have any other problems. She was a political Feedstore that had...
I need some advice. What is the best way to introduce a younger flock to an older flock. There's about a month difference in age. Any help would be useful. Or is there a better thread to ask this question on. Signed troubled in Arkansas
