and here's an example of my technique
(It's a screenshot because i did it on another device)
Long story short.. turns out my dad is a murderous swine and would hit my mom but when he tried to poison her that was the last straw. So.. we ran away. but of course the chickens are uncared for because he doesn't care about them. if you want the story it's down there and copied and pasted and...

Ok, so yesterday I woke up to mom cussing (Rare) so I knew something was wrong. She told me those effing German shepherds were out again. Anyway, getting to the point. It's late the next day and one hen is dead and one is injured. Yesterday she could stand and walk and the only thing that was...
So, I know calcium deposits are natural and ok to have, but almost every day one of my hens lays one with a little mound. It doesn't hurt anything, and my neighbors who mostly receive the eggs don't say anything, so it isn't really that urgent. But does it mean she's being fed wrong or...
So at 5:44 I went outside to photograph my hens. (Something weird I do regularly) and I went around the corner and a hen was squatting like she was laying an egg. I just decided to come back to her in 5 minutes and get a very fresh egg. Well, I returned, and she wasn't done. Then I went inside...
I walked outside to collect eggs, and I saw one hen drinking water, and one hen laying under the coop. Normally, when I open the gate, they all run out as If they have never seen grass and trees before. Of course, stilts, who is slow and lags behind, stayed behind to stand in the water bowl...
I have a two year old Mystic onyx that was supposed to lay greenish eggs, but she lays a creamish color. is there some kind of special feed you give them? I have an Easter egger (Welsummer) that lays brown. Do Easter eggers lay different colors each day? That's what I heard. Is there anything I...
I have only 3 breeds who lay eggs true to their earlobe color. I heard somewhere that their earlobe color determines their egg color, but it hasn't really been true. My olive egger never lays even black eggs. My Americanas (gone) never layed anything but brown. Is this earlobe thing even true?
I have 11 chickens some are really feathery fluffy bantams and it feels like 110 degrees but it's actually around 103. Anyway I feel really bad and they are panting really hard and laying in the shade. They have an automatic water bowl and I'll occasionally put ice in it. I just want to know...
Last night I woke up hearing chickens clucking at around 5:00 I got up and went to the window and looked out and I saw my chickens one one side of the pen and a possum on the other side. I know they eat baby chicks and eggs but I heard they eat chickens too. He left after a few minutes and the...
Originally, i thought she was molting, because she had bald patches, and then my mom thought it was a brood patch, but then her skin turned red when it's supposed to be a yellowish white. does anybody know what this is or how to treat this? she's pretty high on the pecking order and she doesn't...
Today at around 5:00 AM two German shepherds came into our yard and were clawing and chasing and trying to kill my chickens. right now it's about 7:00 PM. anyways, one of my chickens (Ash) lost all of her tail feathers and has a bloody vent, and something sticking out beneath the skin. i'm...

hi, i am thinking about getting duckies. i plan to get 5 ducklings of whatever TSC has. generally little yellow ducklings.. what breed is that or is it impossible to tell? anyways, i was thinking about raising ducks, and i wanted to know if they needed a water bowl to swim in when their young...
