    Guidance on impacted crop or sour crop

    Hi! Some say construction sand is fine, some say it's not, but regardless, I doubt that's causing the issue. Sometimes people just have a yard of sand hauled out, and that's probably masonry or construction sand. I do know you don't want the fine stuff. The two best crop articles on BYC are...

    Hiya, Ella, and welcome to BYC! :frow So that you're not reinventing the wheel, though you sure can if you want, maybe see this thread first: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/apps-trackers-and-more-detailed-info.1651048/ I wound up using pen and paper. We're glad you're here!

    Brinsea Ovation 56 EX humidity

    Hi, Somewhere in the middle, someone posted this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MNBJTVG/ If you don't like them, it gives you an idea of what will work. I have some kind of heavy hard felt that hubby found for me to use.

    Early pipping - turn off turner or not?

    Assuming they both get changed the same, here's your manual for the 30: https://manuals.plus/asin/B09Y84KPNC You'll have to figure out if your incubator is correct, then just try to hatch these as usual without trying anything different. At least you'll know that you can hatch them this way...

    Treating chickens with Oregano Oil

    I had researched this a long time ago and got into the part about the essential oregano oil being caustic to a chicken. I learned one should be sure to use oregano oil or oil of oregano. Even with that, dosage is minimal at one drop per gallon of water. I had found this thread which was...

    Anxious newbie

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow You'll find it's not as daunting and difficult as it may seem sometimes. The longer you raise chicks and chickens, the more natural you'll feel about it. Check out the Forums you can post in. One important one is the Emergency/Disease forum. Anytime...

    Open Contest Official BYC Contest—Post Your Best (Worst) Chicken Molt Pictures - 2025

    But isn't there a difference between "entry" and "update"? I take the rule of limit 50 as if that's for the entry. If I went behind weeks later and said, "Look how good she does now," and posted a couple of beautiful pictures, I wouldn't consider that part of my entry. Would it be? I may...

    RIR Molted feathers growing back black?

    She should wind up red again, I think. I can't explain much about why this happens, just know it happens occasionally when they go through a deep molt. This is Charlotte, who was a fuzzy chocolate silkie. It was like she was turning into a smooth feathered nearly black bird. The light colors...

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow I wouldn't put saddles on a molting hen though. The feathers on a molting hen are very painful to them. Maybe take your rooster out for a while, or the hens that are molting or bare-backed? If your ratio is 21 chickens to 1 rooster, none of them should be...

    Early pipping - turn off turner or not?

    What version of Maticoopx do you have? I wouldn't know how to change the settings on one I don't have without the manual, but maybe there's one online. How you do it is if say you know your thermometer is correct, put that in the incubator. Wait about 10 minutes. If it reads 99.0F, and your...

    Hiya, Bonnie, and welcome back to BYC! :frow I presume you don't have a vet to have them look at that leg? It could be just sprained too. I would soak her leg for about 10 minutes in warm Epsom salt water when you change her wrapping as that will help take any swelling down and might make...

    Kikiriki color type

    You could join this group on Facebook and ask since there aren't many here that have them apparently. If you don't have an acct, lots of folks make one just for poultry reasons.
