    Maran Male or female?

    What do y’all think? Are these male or female? We’ve never had a roo and we can’t figure it out! They’re 12 weeks old.

    Lethargic otherwise asymptomatic 3 month old pullet

    We have an Easter Egger pullet who is just shy of 3 months old that is lethargic, not eating, nor drinking. The rest of the flock seems to be fine. She is sleepy- head down, tail down, standing. She is one of several pullets we've introduced to a lone older laying hen. They integrated well-...

    Molting or Picking?

    Our hens are just over a year old (15 months). We have an Easter Egger that has been getting picked on for a few months now, around her neck. Over the past few weeks, she has begun to lose significantly more feathers (but is maybe growing new shafts?). Wondering if she is molting, or getting...

    Bald spot on head- Pecking, molting, or mites?

    Our barred rock has recently started acquiring some bald spots on her head. Opinions on what's happening? We don't have any roosters. Our ladies are approximately 9 months old. The spots do not have any open wounds, nor does her skin seem irritated at all. I have checked the best I could...

    Size of hardware cloth?

    Hello, I live in an area with numerous predators- fox, mink, snakes, hawks, etc... I am wondering what size hardware cloth to use for our run? I would like to have it as big as possible, so grasshoppers, etc can get in (I've heard they are a nice treat, and we have TONS of them)- but small...

    Covering Wire on Run With Trim Board?

    I live in an area with TONS of predators, my understanding is that the run will be more secure if the wire is on the outside of the posts. I have read several posts about people putting hardware wire on the outside of the posts for the run and then covering it with trim board to make it look...
