    Sick hen

    Pictures aren’t showing up. Don’t give vitamins with Corid it defeats the purpose. Corid inhibits absorption of vitamin B, which is what cocci thrive on. So giving vitamin B makes Corid ineffective.

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Six is about what this hen can comfortably cover I think—she is small being a game hen. And I’m very fortunate that she is the one who went broody—she is exactly what I want in a hen and the rooster is exactly what I want in a rooster. I definitely have other hens that I would not allow to...

    That’s what I heard. I am not looking forward to it but I’m sure neither is my broody hahaha

    Average laying age for Ameraucana mixes (Easter Eggers?)

    I swear Marans take forever to start laying. I have a Cuckoo that hatched in April and still isn’t laying. My two BCMs have been laying for a few weeks but the EEs were laying a couple months ago. Daylight is a big factor. Sometimes my new layers don’t even start up until the following spring

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I can really only guess. The first time I saw her with the rooster was about three weeks ago. I never saw them mate but she kicked all the hens off the feed bowl and let him eat with her. This happened almost every day. So I am assuming they mated. Since she has about 8 eggs under her I am...

    Rigid Foam Insulation Board being devoured by my chickens

    If they can get to it, they will eat it. It’s like chicken popcorn. No one knows why. The real answer is you have to cover it with something so they can’t get to it or they will eat every bit they can reach.

    New to Emus!!! Can they protect chickens against predators?

    My uncle had a couple and they were not safe around children. I’m sure it varies but I was not a fan. They liked to chase us while we rode around in a golf cart. They kept a llama for predator protection. I’m not sure what the emus were for.

    Chickens in nature

    I heard one outside my bedroom window one night before I got chickens. Way too close for comfort. Haven’t seen or heard one in a long time but the neighbor is quite fond of ending them when he sees them so maybe they are scared to cross his property 🤣

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I definitely don’t want to lol. I am just not sure how long she has been sitting or if they’re fertilized. But after thinking it over I think the simplest answer is probably the correct one. She was laying eggs once or twice a week in the coop and I haven’t gotten an egg from her in about two...

    Landrace/adaptive breeding discussion

    I just have to tell someone or I’m going to explode! My feral hen is sitting on a clutch of (hopefully fertile) eggs! Not sure how this will turn out but 🤞

    Found on one of my leghorn’s beaks

    Once she starts laying you will know.

    Found on one of my leghorn’s beaks

    She kind of looks like a Welsummer. How old is she? Is she laying yet?
