    Poop issues

    I have a hen that just hatched out 3 chicks and was her first time being broody. Chicks were hatched on Sunday and the last 2 days poop has been very runny. Is this normal?

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Ok, when I do move her, if I put a movable pan under her first, when I do move her, which I will do at night, do I have to worry that she might jump out of the pan? I have never moved one at night... Or are they just so docile that I don't have to worry about that?

    Ok, was having trouble replying. I don't have anything set up to move her to a private place, wsdnt expecting her to go bloody. But really excited about it.

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I have 8 hens and one oster, they are almost a year old. During the winter I have been getting 3 eggs a day and lately maybe 4. Well today when I went out to let them out there was nothing. This is the first time I haven't had any eggs. What's up with that?

    Making Sure Your Rooster Knows You Are Top Dog

    My RIR has always been very docile but one day out of the blue he decided to see how tough he was and I was walking across the yard and he attacked back of my leg. I was totally shocked and gut reaction was I turned around and kicked him. He has never been aggressive again. I probably wouldn't...

    Is this what winter production looks like?

    My flock had slowed down in the last week. I was getting 7 or 8 a day and the last week has gone anywhere from 4 to 6 depending on the day. I am in Washington and it hasn't really got cold here yet. Today I got one that was really small like when they first started laying. We have been having...

    My Australorp was the first to lay at around 20 weeks. She lays everyday.

    Rooster stopped crowing.

    My rooster stopped crowing 3 days ago and I can hear a little noise in his breathing. He is eating and drinking like normal. I wormed them all as a precaution. They normally get to free range but we have a coyote problem at the moment and so they have been locked in their run. I don't really...

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    Got my biggest egg so far this morning. It is next to my smallest here. Love finding these eggs.

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    Something that works good to stop bleeding is dipping their foot into flour. My rooster had a toenail that got ripped and I had to cut it off his toe and I used flour and it worked great to clot the blood.
