    How do you preserve eggs?

    My girls are laying way more eggs than we can eat right now, so I was thinking about trying to preserve some for this winter when the egg production slows way down. I've read about people who freeze eggs, some that pack them in salt and some that rub them with vaseline. I've never tried this...

    Help! what are these creepy crawlies in my coop?

    Last weekend, I spent several hours deep cleaning my backyard coop. I took all the bedding out, scrubbed floors, walls and roosts with a bleach water solution. Let it dry, put down some DE and then fresh bedding (I use coffee chaff). Today, one week later, I went out for my weekly cleaning...

    Need help sexing my RIRs (lots of pics)

    Thanks everyone! I'm glad the consensus is pullet. I've never had RIRs before, so their feathering really threw me off.

    Need help sexing my RIRs (lots of pics)

    Hello, I have two, 2 month old RIRs (or something similar...they are feed store chicks so you never know). Anyhow, they both have small combs and wattles which would suggest pullets, but I have noticed they are starting to get in some feathering that looks awfully rooster-like. I'm still a...

    Spastic chicks at bedtime

    I moved my four chicks (9 weeks and 7 weeks) out into the coop this weekend. They are doing great, except when it comes to bedtime. They have started flying up to the roost, but then they all tussle around up there. They try to climb all over each other or burrow under one another with lots of...

    Do I need to follow up a Wazine treatment

    On Saturday, I treated my little backyard flock with Wazine in their water. None of them were showing any symptoms, but I'd been reading that it is good to worm once a year or so. My question is, since Wazine is just for roundworm, do I need to follow up with a different medication in two...

    Please Help! I think I am about to lose my pullet

    I have an 8 month old barred rock pullet who has taken a turn for the worse. She has always been small for her size and hasn't laid an egg yet, but over the last week she has really started wasting away. She is very lightweight and I can feel her breastbone very distinctly. Her comb is blackish...

    Possible Worms? Looking for a second opinion

    Thank you both for your responses. I have seen the poop chart before but her poop doesn't seem to match any of the ones pictured. I may go ahead and treat her for worms, because it sounds like it doesn't hurt to do it once or twice a year whether there are symptoms or not. If that doesn't seem...
