    Puss from vent???

    I have Isa Browns that are a little over a year old. Today I noticed alot of blood on an egg shell so I did vent checks. One of them that is missing quite a few feathers had what looked like puss in her vent. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with her.

    PLEASE HELP!

    I have an isa brown that is wheezing and sounds like she is having a hard time breathing and she's all puffed up and kinda just standing around and not with the other 10. What could it be? I live in Maine and the weather has been getting colder at night if thay matters.

    Pullet not playing nice

    My pullets will be 17 weeks on friday and still not laying. They are isa browns. A few of their combs are plumping nicely and bright red. Anyways, one of them has decided to be a brat lately and picking fights with the others or stalking them to peck them. She is one of the more developed ones...

    Nesting boxes

    If I put shavings in my nesting boxes like I have on the coop floor, will they think it's ok to go to the bathroom in there until I get a bale of hay? I really need to open the boxes but haven't been able to make it to the farm yet.

    Dust bath???

    Not sure what forum to put this on. In my girls run the ground is too hard to be able to dust bathe the way they should. I have one of those large green turtles that are children's sand boxes that my nephew and niece had, which I am going to turn into the dust bath area for my 12 chickens. Can I...

    Pelvic bones, laying soon????

    I know I have heard when my pullets are close to laying you can fit 2 fingers between their pelvic bones but then I just read a few articles that said when they start laying or close you can fit one finger and farther on in the laying process they will spread to fit 2 fingers. Anyone know which...

    Finding Feathers constantly...

    My Isa Browns are 13 weeks old. For quite awhile I have been finding Feathers in the coop and run. I know some of them are from flying around the coop but do they keep losing feathers and new ones coming in where they are growing. None of the 12 of them have any bald spots or anything. Wanted to...

    Roosting/Nesting boxes???

    Just a few questions... I have Isa browns at what age should I open up their nesting boxes? I've heard they start around 16-18 weeks, not sure if that's true.

    Headed to the coop!

    So my 12 9 week old girls are finally headed to the coop today. Any advice would be great on putting them out there. I'm a newbie and uneasy for some reason for them going out there.
