    newbie coop build

    The coop is nice but your run needs some work. I would get rid of the chicken wire and put something more sturdy up. I would also put some bird netting on top. I love the real people door.

    Hi everyone. I have two of my Road Island Red hens that are missing some neck feathers. Not a lot but I can see some skin. I looked all over for lice and a few nights ago I went out at night and looked inside their coop for mites with a flash light and saw none. I do treat the coop with DE...

    I just cracked two eggs and both had little blood spots in the yolk?

    I cracked a brown egg from one of my Rode Island Reds and a white from my blue Andalusian. What would be the cause of blood spots in the yolk? They eat organic feed and have about 2-6 hours of roaming in the yard? I take good care of the coop, it is cleaned once per week. Is there something...

    Molting or something else

    Molting or something else

    I would put up a picture but I left my camera in my classroom. UM I just noticed that one of my little hens is kinda missing some neck and face feathers and she looks like a hot mess. She has a great appetite. No one else is molting. Could this be something other than molting. I clean my...

    5 1/2 month Pullet laid an egg without a shell.

    Not sure which one did it. BUT IT happened. I give them nutrena organic layer pellets. Should I supplement with shell and or organic cottage cheese or yogurt? Not sure what happened. I did receive an egg that was very soft shell last week. Is this normal for young layers?

    Egg eating?

    I have 6 hens and they have 4 nesting boxes, but they all use the same one. The shells do seem a little thin. Maybe some extra cal. will do the trick?
