    Mold in Brooder

    I have been a very neglectful chicken mama. I went to clean out the brooder for our new pullets (they are nearly 5 months old and in quarantine in the garage). Last week, instead of emptying out the wood shavings, I tossed some more on top and mixed them around like we do in the coop. Today, I...

    Help for Picked On Hen w/Soft Shelled Eggs

    Thank you for the replies. I think you are right - I'll segregate the meanie and see if Puff starts laying normal eggs again. Too bad the alpha is such a darn good layer!!

    Help for Picked On Hen w/Soft Shelled Eggs

    My favorite fluffy cochin, Puff, used to be in the middle of the flock. As soon as she started laying, she became the target of the alpha chicken who now pecks her relentlessly and ignores the other lower pecking order hens. Puff used to lay nice dark brown eggs. Well, its only been about...

    Integrating Newcomers Before a Vacation

    In my newbie chicken wisdom, I got two 7 week old pullets a while back to replace chicks that ended up being roos. In the meantime, another of our tiny flock died from eating a screw and we were down to two chickens from the original flock and the two newbies in quarantine. I planned carefully...

    Chickens Roosting During Day?

    Newbie here. My chickens are 15 weeks old and have taken to roosting in the coop the last couple days. We just finished off a couple weeks of rain - during which they spent more and more time in the coop but down on the floor. Yesterday and today, we've actually had sun and the run is drying...

    Is My EE a Hen or a Roo?

    This little one is 15 weeks old. Not the friendliest thing, always dominant but not THE dominant chicken. I've assumed it was a she until the last week or so until it sprouted droopy looking tail feathers. Purchased at one week old as a sexed pullet. We got two other straight runs at the...

    Poop Police Please - PICTURE @ #5

    For what it's worth, I took the poop into the vet for a fecal test anyway. I'm paranoid - what can I say! Anyway, turns out she is "loaded with worms" and they're giving me some meds for her in the morning. She'll be fine, right?

    A couple of newbie questions please.

    This is just me (and mind you, I'm mighty new myself!) but I'd go for the mixture. I enjoy seeing how the breeds differ.
