    Hurt rooster

    First step is to treat him for shock with some electrolytes and a little sugar water—Gatorade will work. Then wait for more experienced advice. I had a hen attacked by a raccoon that was trying to bite her head off and although I couldn’t see any physical injuries she was never quite the same. I...

    New chicken mom here with a quick question about integrating new chicks

    Gotcha. I get distracted easily lol. I would give it a try supervised for a couple hours and see how it goes. Do you have some clutter in your run for the younger ones to get behind if they need to?

    New chicken mom here with a quick question about integrating new chicks

    I put chickens outside full time at 4 weeks sometimes in early spring. Yours are overdue in my opinion.

    Thinking about buying this hen but concerned about its feathers

    Looks like she’s molting to me as well.

    Pecking order problem?

    I would give the bully RIR a time out for a few days somewhere she can see but not touch the others. Alternatively, you could remove her somewhere they can’t see her at all. When you put her back she will be back at the bottom of the pecking order and perhaps things will mellow out.

    Feeding All My Birds

    Those little cups that attach to the side of a cage work great. They’re designed for birds or travel in kennels I think and hold about a cup worth. You can clip it to the side of their run just make sure it’s covered so the oyster shell doesn’t get wet and start dissolving

    Feeding All My Birds

    I should ad that I feed two different brands of chick starter, one of which is a mash that I ferment. The other is a crumble I feed as is. The fermented stuff actually has grit in it so I do provide grit in that sense but I don’t think adult birds need it added to their food—it’s probably...

    Feeding All My Birds

    Put the oyster shell in a separate dish and grit in another. Don’t mix them—they will just get wasted. I don’t provide grit for my chickens because they can find it themselves out in their free range time. I can’t answer about quail so hopefully someone else chimes in about that

    Suspecting a couple roos?

    The Delaware shouldn’t have all that black leakage (?) either. Maybe a hatchery quality issue I don’t know enough about them. I had a couple but one of mine confused me right up until she laid an egg

    You are supposed to butcher them and then pluck them Moony 🤦‍♀️

    To Rehome or not? Help please!

    The BRs pick on the little ones too? Add more clutter and see how it goes. You need lots of things for the little ones to hide behind.

    To Rehome or not? Help please!

    I’ve never had BRs but my friend had a flock of RIR and BRs (equal numbers of each) and they got along fine.
