Hey all, just recently I've been seeing these small black aphid like bugs crawling everywhere in the coop, I'm thinking they're mites but I'm not sure. Now I've heard DE will help but I've also heard it's dangerous to humans and animals, so are these rumors true? And if they are, what are some...
Hey everyone, I have a friend who has two hens who have been broody for about a month now, and he's concerned over the lack of eggs and wants to break them of their broodiness. Does anybody have methods that will work? Thanks
I live on Long Island, New York and would like to get a snake, and have done the research and think the rubber boa is right for me. I haven't had time to gather any equipment and would appreciate if any breeders were willing to wait. I have looked everywhere else and can't seem to find a good...
When the chickens were first allowed out, there had been no problems with hawks because of our Bernese Mountain Dogs tendency to follow the chickens around the yard. But when he passed in august, the hawks started checking out the girls, even going after them a few times. Luckily, our rooster...
Hi, I was out with the chickens and noticed my cochin had darker poop than normal. It was nearly all black! Is there anything wrong with her, and if so how can I fix it?

You are a hunter and a scavenger, you live in constant fear, because at any moment you could be killed. The reason; you survive in a world with dinosaurs, and any one of them could end you in an instant. In fact, many of them you can't kill by yourself, and the ones you can don't provide enough...
So, today we got our christmas tree, and kept some of the chopped branches just in case, is there anything I can use them for? Food? Bedding? Entertainment? All suggestions are welcome!
Hi, we got a border collie who's now about 6 month old. We live in a suburban area and have racoons, possums, sharp shinned, cooper's, and red tailed hawks, we also have a fox who knows we have chickens. I was wondering if she could possibly deter them or possibly even protect the chickens if...
The Wings of War
In a land called Corvea, there has been peace between the Corvids for many years, trade routes established, alliances forged, and even friendships have been started. But that all changed with the death of Emporer Castrus, leader of the great and powerful Crow Empire, some say...
So, I just came back from a week long vacation and my neighbor who also has chickens took care of my flock. When I got home it was late and they were already in the coop. The next morning I came outside to give them some treats, they all ran over and my rooster followed his girls. I noticed him...

It's been three years since the humans left, and we've thrived, for some the humans leaving was a blessing, others a death sentence. But for the survivors life isn't easy, ever since the earthquake when the humans left, something else has come; A green ooze that pollutes our water and slowly and...
I've recently noticed my SLW hen has dried poop stuck on her fluffy bottom feathers. Is this something I should worry about? And what can I do about it? She can poop and lay perfectly fine, I'm just concerned it might turn into something worse. Any help is appreciated.
Last week I let the chickens out to free range at like 9 in the morning, I then went to the bathroom and then I heard something strange, my ten week old puppy was barking like crazy at the chickens so I looked outside and saw all six hens freaking out in the coop as a Cooper's hawk made it's way...

You have lived here all your life, you've ran, swam, and climbed countless paw lengths, and you've lived peacefully. The herds leave and you make due with what you have, then the rains return and bring the herds, and you reap the rewards. Life is good, but that all changes when the rainy season...
I have six hens and one roo, and I've seen all these other BYC members who talk about their farm animals and organic gardens etc, and I know about all the bad stuff about store brand food, but I don't have a choice not to buy them, as I live in the suburbs so I can't have much else besides...
My 18 week old girls have been finding remains of small birds around my yard(wings,bodies,etc), any ideas on what it could be and if it's a danger to the chickens?
