    Moving day for some chickens

    So tonight as it got dark, I moved my 9 week old pullets into the big coop. They have been free ranging with the big kids for the last week. I needed them to vacate the grow-out tractor so I could move my broody and her eggs into it. So she got moved into that tonight too. She hunkered back down...

    Pullet keeping one eye closed

    I have a 9 week old pullet that I noticed this morning is keeping her right eye closed. I can open it and if I pick her up she opens it, but once she calms down she closes it again. Checked her over, no lice, mites, no worms in poo(or blood). She is eating and drinking. She is walking but I have...

    7 eggs from 6 hens in less than 12hrs

    I know it is rare, but I never thought it would happen to me. When I got home this morning and went out to check on everyone, it was real stormy last night, there is an egg under the perch. It was still warm so I know whoever laid it did so between 4-5am. Then while I was sitting with them, one...

    Issue with chicken "saddle"

    So I got my saddles from MPC today. I got the ones that cross in the front so they can't wiggle them off. I put it on my recovering girl and she got wobbly, walked backward and eventually just laid down on the ground and looked freaked. Granted this is new to her. Is this a normal behavior or do...

    Growing up too fast

    Today, at 5 1/2 weeks old, my three chickies moved out to the grow-out pen. They are getting big so fast. Some of my 6mo olds REALLY want to get into it with them. But that would end badly. I have the brooder lamp hanging in it with a 150W bulb on a timer, since it has been getting into the...

    Question

    Is there a list of Moderators and BYC Educators somewhere on here? Is there a way to maybe make their name in the "Who's Online" sidebar a different color? I know a few by their BYC names but know there are quite a few. It would be nice to easily see if they are online so if we need help with...

    Open Wound. Help!!! UPDATE

    Tonight while doing my weekly inspection of my 7 chickens, I found a 2" tear in the skin of one of my BR's. It is just below the saddle on the left side. It is from my cockerel mounting her. She is not in pain and has been eating, drinking, pooing, laying and just doing all the things chickens...

    Poopy eggs and non-poopy eggs

    How come my neighbors eggs are always poopy on the shell? He has 26 hens of various ages from 7mo-7yrs. My pullets laying for almost 2 weeks now always have clean poop free eggs. Why is that. The only things we do differently is I have single bird nest boxes and he has a 3 foot long "communal"...

    Help with possible color outcome of EE chick

    So the chick I would like to know possible coloring outcome once she is fully feathered is the one on the left. My DW and I are trying to come up with a fitting name. The golden sex-link in the middle is "Amber" since that will be her primary color. I named the one on the right "Elphaba" for her...

    Feeding Oyster Shell Freewill?

    I am offering oyster shell free will but they don't seem to be consuming it. They put it in their beak and bite down on it and spit it out like a rock. Should I crush it up into smaller pieces like crumble/mash size like their feed? Or will they eventually eat it as normal size pieces? I have 2...

    "False" Egg

    I work nights, I got up around 10am to go let my chickens out of the coop, and one of my pullets was in a nest box. She laid her first egg Thursday and second on Saturday. So I am thinking ok I can sit here on the roost(made of 2x4's so it can support me) and wait and collect the egg right away...

    Fowl Pox

    From what I have read on here, there is nothing one can do to treat the pox right? I have noticed the black spots appearing on the combs and wattles of my 7 birds. They are 18-24 weeks old. I have read it is a virus and just has to run its course. It looks like just dry pox, none on beaks or in...

Not this time, and they just hatched Wednesday. So I called my DW and asked if I could get 2 EE's and...
