    Auto Door Openers

    Hey guys, got a few questions. One, anyone in the US have the ChickenGuard? Any electrical issues with it? I know it connects with USB, just wondering if the voltage difference makes it have any issues in the states vs EU. Also, let me know if you have a brand you absolutely love, since I am...

    Six week old golden polish sexing?

    Hey guys, this is my first polish (from McMurray) and I am super unfamiliar with the breed, so I'd like some opinions with sexing. Didn't post any full body pictures because s/he wouldn't hold still, but there are no visible pointy feathers in the usual places, but s/he is still young, so...

    Bantams & Standards in the same picture

    I've been looking around BYC trying to find a thread where people just post pictures of bantams and standard breeds in the same image, and have found just a couple of 2 page threads. I just got an order of bantams and really want to know what to expect! So post away! I'd like to see any and all...

    4 day old chick not eating, pooping water

    Hey guys. I am not new to raising chicks, but I am new to raising bantams, which seem to be extremely challenging because they are so tiny. I got my shipment from Mcmurray on Monday with 3 dead in the box (never before has this happened with shipments of standard breeds). Anyway, after some...

    Brown spots on earlobe

    I currently have 4 adult hens hatched July of last year (and five babies hatched 2 months ago). This question concerns one of the laying hens, a Black Australorp. I was spending some time with the chickens today when i noticed her earlobe had large, light brown spots on it (the base color is...

    Building a run?

    To date, we have been fencing our chickens in with that plastic green fence you find in Home Depot (I think some call it a snow fence?) which is frustrating because it has many holes it in that could be problematic with predators. I want to upgrade to a fence with a wooden border and chicken...

    Huge crop on 5 day old chick??

    I have a 5 day old barred rock with a HUGE crop. I have never seen anything like this in a chick (although I did have an adult hen with impacted crop).... Basically, the crop is giant, and the chick walks around and wobbles its head and neck. Is this something to be concerned about? Is there...

    Murray McMurray Silician Buttercup problem??

    I was just wondering if anyone has gotten Buttercups from Murray McMurray? This is my second time getting one from them. The first time, the chick had a severe vitamin deficiency, and it had to be nursed back to health for a week. Not sure what the outcome would have been because my dog...

    Security Help? (Camera suggestions)

    Hey guys- just had a predator attack and kill four of my hens. Usually the run is pretty secure but with the snow we have been getting, the top netting and part of the fence fell apart. I was going to wait until everything melted to fix it, but I guess I thought wrong- never thought predators...

    White, Runny - Help?

    I have a young, 7 month old RIR hen. She looks healthy, acts healthy, eats normally, and lays every day. However, I have been noticing that her poop is not very normal, and looks exactly like one of the ones from the poop chart (shown below). They get ACV in their water weekly, are vaccinated...

    Sick hen- not eating but drinking a lot, lethargic.

    Hello, I have a 5 month old hen (not laying eggs yet). Usually is bright and energetic but today is lethargic and weak. I found her with poopy butt this morning. She won't eat but she wont stop drinking. Any thoughts? I was thinking sour crop.

    Down feathers?

    Just watched an awful PETA video on how down is collected- I do not own anything that is down at the moment, nor will I in the near future after that. Anyway, I was wondering if it is possible to collect down in a humane way that does not involve ripping it out of the flesh of a goose? I feel...

    10.5 week old chicks- what gender?

    I ordered 15 chicks from Murray McMurray a couple of months ago (plus one mystery chick), and after death, predation, and rehoming, I am left with 11. Can anyone help determine their genders for me? Other than these 11, I know I had two boys (one which was taken by a hawk, one which I re-homed)...

    Black Australorp Rooster free to good home, Huntingdon Valley PA (near NE Philadelphia, PA)

    I recently ordered some female chicks from Murray McMurray and a few seem to be turning out to be roosters. I have one little guy that is a sweetheart. I cannot keep roosters and I am looking to re-home him. He is only 6 weeks old right now, and I will probably not give him away for a couple of...

    So I have 14 chicks sexed as pullets by Murray McMurray. I have some I am 'iffy' about and I suspect that they are roosters. This was a quick photoshoot, I can provide more pictures if needed for a better answer. I know it is a little early, just wanted to see what you guys would say! SCROLL...

    Chick with wobbly legs.

    One of my chicks has very wobbly and unstable legs, and looks drunk when she walks. She will be two weeks old on monday, and when I first got her she used to bully everyone and run around despite her small size. But now, she doesn't look well. She is on the same feed as the others, and was on...
