    Air quality alert! Will my chickens be ok??

    Ok, thank you very much I will try electrolytes. I do have an air purifier that I could put in the run and near the coop.

    Air quality alert! Will my chickens be ok??

    I have four sapphire gem chickens (a little over a year old) and we love in Philadelphia, PA. As I’m sure many other are, we are effected by the wild fire smoke blowing from Canada- in the last few days there have been air quality alerts and the air is kind of hazy and smells badly. I can’t...

    Review by 'groovy_chicken_girl' in article 'Accessorizing Your Run- How to Make Your Run More Fun For Your Chickens'

    Great Article! I love these ideas, and definitely want to try some out! Just by the way- chickens cannot have apple seeds, they are toxic for them! I would suggest cutting off pieces from around the core because it's still a wonderful treat for them :))

    How to keep my chickens warm and safe this winter!?

    Good Evening Y'all! I live in the PA suburbs outside Philly, and tonight the temp is going down to 20 degree's Ferenheit! The winter night will tend to be around this chilly but I need some advice on how to keep my 5 ladies (saphire gems and this is their first winter!) Warm, Comfy, and SAFE...

    Dog bite

    Oh my gosh that’s horrible! I am so sorry that happened :( I don’t have much advice on this subject but cleaning the area often should help deter infection and neosporin is often a good idea for dog bites (from what I’ve heard) Any change in poop is most likely effect of lack of eating but I...

    I'm just sick, the dog ate my 2 chicks.

    Ugh I am so sorry that happened! I completely understand your guilt but everyone here has made mistakes and it’s a really sucky part of learning :/ I know our border collie got very focused on our chicks and acted strange but now they are grown he is used to them. I wish you the best with your...

    MY OH MY- FIRST EGG!! What do I do!!??!!

    Oh my goodness- I hope they’re not fertilized! That would be exciting but a little crazier then I’m ready for right now… We had 6 chicks we raised and one turned out to be a rooster- since we could keep him we had to give him to a farm a little bits away- he was nine weeks when we dropped him...

    What layer feed should I choose?- So many options!

    Hiya Everyone! 2 weeks ago one of my 5- Hens layed her first egg! And then, about an hour later, a second one! I was surpised because she was only 14 weeks old (early according to what I have read/been told! And I found a third today! I have more info and pictures of the eggs and stuff on this...

    MY OH MY- FIRST EGG!! What do I do!!??!!

    And then this is what the whites and yokes looked like!! To my BIG surprise the second egg was A DOUBLE YOKER!! I don't even think its that uncommon but I was so excited :)) (some random questions- is it safe to eat the very fist eggs or are there any reasons why you should wait? Since I was...

    MY OH MY- FIRST EGG!! What do I do!!??!!

    Hi all! So as you can see from the title, one of my 5 saphire gem hens just layed her FIRST EGG! I can't believe it! I really thought it would be much later- like when they were 6 months old, however unless TSC was wrong we got out 1-2 day old chicks in the very beginning of march so they are...

    Free ranging vs Predators; How cautious should I be?

    I do think that makes sense. We have done a whole lot in efforts for our run and coop to be predator-proof, just considering the stories that we've heard like the ones you guys have from your experience! It does a lot of sense that you can never be sure- you could be very lucky, but never be...

    Free ranging vs Predators; How cautious should I be?

    That's really interesting! Our setup sounds similar to yours- and I have wondered if they will fly over the fence, but currently, they seem pretty interested on the grass and exploring inside. Do you live in a rural area or a more suburban one?

    Free ranging vs Predators; How cautious should I be?

    That makes a lot of sense- I will try getting a fake owl, maybe it will have some sort of effect! I think it makes sense to continue free-ranging when I am around and keep a close eye on them :) We also have lots of tree coverage so hopefully, that helps- Thanks!
