    never had an egg like this, does this just mean I need to give them more oyster shells?

    Pale comb

    besides mites, and worms what else can cause a pale comb? I recently treated my 4 laying hens for mites and also dewormed. They are eating and drinking as normal. Up until last week they were laying 3-4 eggs a day total now I'm getting between 2-3 a day. They are under a year and 1st started...

    What else can I do.

    my 4 laying hens comb and wattles started getting pale. After dusting them the coop and deworming them I haven't noticed a big change. So today I did a 3 bucket bath (soap, salt, and water in one, vinegar and water in another and plain water in the last) I did an assembly line type bath to each...

    15 week old EE started practice egg song

    late this afternoon one of my almost 16 week old EE started doing a practice egg song, at the same time one of my laying hens in a sepetate coop was laying and singing the egg song. Is this normal for this young or is it just playing parrot and copying what it was hearing?

    Dominique vs. Barred rock?

    do dominiques look like barred rocks as chicks? My neighbor has what she was told is a dominique however it looks just like my other neighbors barred rock chick. I believe it's around 5-7 weeks old right now.

    Gender guess?

    my neighbor got 5 chicks at a day old. What was suppose to be a silver laced Wyandotte appears to be gold laced. Now at 6 weeks old she is positive it's a roo due to its comb getting darker. She wants to get rid of it ASAP but I'm trying to convince her to hold off a little longer to wait and...

    Will they ever get use to each other (pic)

    we have 2 coops 1 has 4 hens and the other has 10 chicks. We also have 2 boxers. When we let the hens out we always put the dogs in a locked shed. Just curious if we should fence off the new coop or do a shock color for the dogs? They are constantly hanging around the new coop and when they are...

    Is this ok? Brooder in coop outside?

    This past weekend we moved our brooder outside into the coop. We cut a small door out for them to go in and out of the brooder, and have kept the heat lamp over the brooder. We have 4 5 week olds and 6 3 week olds. The temps have been low 30's at night and up to mid 70's during the day. They've...

    When to make the move?

    We currently have 4 4 wk olds, and 6 2 wk old chicks in a brooder on heat. I was wondering when would be ok to move the brooder into our coop, obviously still keeping them on heat but allowing them to roam freely as well. Our temps have been 30-40 at night and 50-70 during the day. The two pics...

    We're finishing up on our latest coop and we're trying to give it a better more functioning design than our previous one. We're still fairly new to chickens. My question is based on the pic. The right side is completely boarded up for protection from wind, it's also where we plan on putting the...
