I am selling my Eglu Cube with three meter run. It comes with "grub and glug" feeder and waterer and shade. It has been used in the desert for a year so it is dusty but the plastic is fade resistant and other than being lived in, it's in great condition. It retails for $1700.
I am looking to...
I have never seen this on a forum before although that could just be from lack of looking.
My RIR just started laying in the last 5 days. I was out of town so i only know of one egg prior to this one for sure. Today we heard her throwing a fit when she laid her egg and came out to find this...
At this point, i just want to write out what happened with my Barred Rock, Esther. She was about 11 months old. Up until last weekend she had seemed fine. she had started laying a little less, but otherwise was not showing any signs of illness. however, last Saturday we let them out of the...
The white chicken in the photos didn't lay an egg today and spent the whole day on the nest just sitting and looking uncomfy. Could the booty issues be caused by being egg bound?
About a week ago my husband noticed what looked like glass in the chickens poop. They free range in the back yard and we didnt notice any random glass in the yard and they didnt have any blood so we figured it was just something weird and a one time thing then moved on. then today we got only...
Sorry for the blurry leg photo...
This chick is aggressive when picked up, has very few wing feathers, very small tail feathers and a pretty large comb and wattles for a little almost 3 week old. Her/His buddy in the brooder, a RIR, also has these little buds on her legs but her comb is...
Oh also: "Free range organic". Unless your WHOLE yard is organic (that is to say no bug has ever wandered around and got sprayed with pesticides, and you dont keep any thing else like... dog food in your yard) then if your chicken is free range you can't know its organic. Thats crazy talk.
not advice but a coworker was trying to bond with me over chickens (she doesnt raise them, just pays more for free range eggs at the grocery) and she says she told her husband: "do you know what commercial egg layers have to DO to those chickens to make them lay white eggs?! its HORRIBLE!"

My chickens used to roost on their little 2x4 roosting "bar" inside the coop until about a month ago when they started cuddling up in the windows. The windows are covered with fencing and are about 4 feet off the ground, so i am not terribly concerned for their safety but it just a little...
