    Bluetooth Door

    With our Blink camera systems, putting in a new coop further from the house we ran into issues. We bought this and found out we didn't need it in the end, but I think something on this order would work. It's on 33% off now too.

    Fake Eggs in Nesting Boxes-- Good Idea, Nah, or Meh?

    I guess when you have silkies, you don't need fake eggs as I've never needed them. They lay anywhere you will let them, and on nothing at all even. We put horse bedding pellets in our nests, and a couple of the hens scratch those away and lay on the plywood. I feel left out of that, as fake...

    Help my chicken isn’t doing well!

    It's okay. Nothing you've given her would hurt her, and perhaps something maybe helped.

    Hello all!

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow Here are some threads on chicken doors. The first one is the best as I think every chicken door known to man got listed in that one. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/automatic-coop-doors-id-love-your-input.1620567/...

    Help my chicken isn’t doing well!

    Hi, and welcome to BYC! Sorry about your hen. When chickens are molting or not feeling well, they usually won't lay eggs. That said, her panting means she's in some sort of distress. Since you aren't hearing any rattling in her chest or seeing any other symptoms, let's try treat this as an...

    My chicken is unwell

    The greenish-brownish, solid, squirmy-looking poop is most likely a cecal poop (normal). The white diarrhea is concerning, though. It could be anything from kidney problems to a vitamin deficiency. It could be she needs calcium and vitamins. Can you pick up some Poultry Cell or Nutri-Drench...

    My chicken is unwell

    So sorry about your chicken. Pictures of your chicken and the poop would help. What does she eat in a given day? Was it always this weak or it's just getting worse every day?

    Is it appropriate to de-worm during molting?

    I've never wormed ours, ever, albeit using Ivermectin for SLM three times in six years, and that's x2 treatments each time. I know it's questionable if it really works on much beyond roundworms. I doubt I'd have anything to worry about feathers growing back weird though if I ever choose to use...

    Hi! Here's the European thread where you might find some from Ireland, but there are also some folks in there I noted up on diseases. For boredom busters, here are two articles from BYC: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/top-8-boredom-busters-for-backyard-chickens.76316/...

    North Central, GA

    Hi, To talk to folks from Georgia, here's the Georgia thread. For buying, selling, trading, or giving away, here's our Buy/Sell/Trade Forum. I also use my local and state poultry groups on Facebook a lot for buying/selling. If you don't have an acct., I'd make one for the chickens. Good luck!

    New chicks

    Awe, so adorable. ❤️ Sounds like fun! Do you have a ramp up to the nest for them? We raise silkies, so we have permanent ramps in as they can't fly or jump more than a few inches.

    What is wrong

    At first I'd think scaly face mites, but you're saying this is only in one eye in each of two chickens, correct? If so, in that case it could be corzya and they'll most likely need antibiotics. Does it have an odor? Do you have access to a vet who can test that?

    Scabs and missing feathers 🐓

    Strawberries, in moderation, are actually very good for chickens. I wish ours liked them more as they just take a bite and move on. Feather picking can occur for a few reasons but the top two are overcrowding and lack of protein. For space, they should each have 4 sq feet per bird in the...
