    odd nester

    I have a chicken that cannot physically nest, when she tries to she flops over, she has done this always, she gets mounted by the rooster but has never laid an egg, she just insists on laying on the other hens eggs so I built a log for her to lean against in order for her to be able to do that...

    Carnivore chickens

    I'm a bit perplexed as my pullets rarely will eat the veggies I through to them but will eat up all meats, I'd rather they ate more veggie than meat but it doesn't seem the case. Any suggestions???

    Wrong color egg for breed

    So I was told on this site that the chick I bought as a Ameruacana is really a Golden Laced Wyndotte, yet she lays light blue eggs, so me thinks she is a cross. Any thoughts please.

    Sour crop?????

    What does it mean when my 2 month old chick keeps stretching her neck and gulping? Seems her crop is empty like shes not eating too.

    Poor forage

    I have six chicks that are free range in my back yard in the city in FL, the grass is poor as it has such a sandy soil and months before we even thought of getting chickens my hubs sprayed for insects a couple of times so not much for the chicks to peck at. I`m concerned even though I feed well...

    My coops roosts.

    I don`t think my roosts are out far enough from the nest for my chickens comfort, granted they are just chicks now but, what is the ideal ratio of distance to allow them to roost comfortably? I know this is an odd question but there it is.

    Ameraurcanas or EEs

    How can I tell the difference between the two? They sold as Ameraurcanas but I have a funny feeling they are EE. They are tan and red and darker stripes with dark blueish legs.

    Chicks full of sand

    Is it possible for chicks to get to much sand in their craws, if that's the word I mean? I live in FL and it seems my chicks have a pouch of sand on their chests as they scratch and peck in the sandy soil so much.

    Coop Of Wire

    This is the coop my hubs built me, and as we live in south FL I am glad that it is so open, yet maybe it is to open and the chickens will feel insecure? I actually had him build storm shutters we can quickly screw on and off, but feel my chickens will feel unprotected. Am I thinking to much...

    Unsure of breed

    I bought chicks from the feed store here in FL. Two were labeled "Ideals", I think this is the farm they are from, correct? How will I know what breed they are? They are a fuzzy yellow leading to pale yellow as they are getting older and kind of aggressive.

    Greenhorn

    Hi all feather loving friends. I`m new and never raised a flock before and have 3 4 week old chicks, I lost one today due to human error and am heart broken.
