    Red Mites!

    I'm currently dealing with my first infestation of red mites. The thing I am finding most frustrating is that I have spent a fortune on various sprays treatments that don't seem to be doing anything. I am currently putting down about a half inch deep layer of d Earth on the floor of the coop...

    Bantam or Full Sized? Araucana or Amerucana

    Hi I bought these gorgeous little ladies last week as I was told they will give me green eggs. They were labeled as Araucanas but I think they might be Ameraucanas. They also couldn't tell me at the shop whether they are bantams or full sized! Any ideas?

The last 2 days however she has really been struggling and taking around 5 hours in the best box to lay an egg.

    Introducing a third hen

    Hi all, I've currently got 2 buff sussex chickens that are at POL and I would love to introduce a third, preferably a light sussex at the same age.

    Bantam or full sized?

    Hi I recently bought 2 buff sussex chickens from a breeder. They are lovely girls but I had them weighed by the vet the other day and they are both roughly 1kg. I was told they were at point of lay but 2 weeks down the line no eggs. The smaller of the 2 is also moulting at the moment which makes...
