I have 2 hens from a feed store and I’m not sure of the breed. They are black and white, the comb is not very red and lay dark reddish brown eggs. She just walking around, Their chirping is quail like. Very friendly.
How to get rid of roaches in chicken coop? Didn't realize I had them until I went out last night to check on eggs, and they were everywhere. I haven't seen them during the day.
A couple of my hens have started laying their eggs on the ground instead of the nest boxes. What could be the problem? There is mosquitoes in their house and I've wondered if it could be hot?
Is there anything that can be sprayed, sprinkled, or otherwise used to keep snakes away from 5 wk old chicks. Their coop has one inch wire as nd is on the ground.
As a new member to BYC and chicken keeper, I have lots of questions. I have found this site very helpful. I have 5 hens and a rooster. Its a mixed flock. I want to get some silkies. Do silkies have to be kept separated from tbe bigger flock?
