    Chickens Stopped Laying

    I’m sure there are 1000 posts with this title, but I’ve done my research and nothing seems to really fit, so I thought I’d post on here to see if anyone has any insight to my specific issue. I have 2 Rhode Island reds and 2 Easter eggers. The two reds are moulting. One is just about done, but...

    Black Spots, Not Laying (pics)

    We have a small flock of four birds, 2 Rhode Island Reds and 2 Easter Eggers. About 2 weeks ago or so, we started noticing small, black spots on the comb and waddle of the Reds. Online research is inconclusive. Whatever it is, it seems like a mild case, but we want to clear it up, whatever it...

    Roost Suggestions

    Below is a photo of the inside of my coop. When I designed the roost, I didn't know the dimensions I needed. As you can see, the girls are pretty cramped on that top rung.

    Deep Litter Method - Clarification Needed

    Here is a photo of my coop for reference: This is my first time dealing with chickens. We have 4 hens that are still in a brooding pen but will be making this coop their home very soon. Per earlier recommendations from folks on this site, I will be adding an additional base of 2x6's to...

    Bedding for Coop/Run on Concrete

    I apologize if this has already been covered in another thread, but I'm new here. I recently finished (well, almost finished) building this coop for our 4 young hens: The birds aren't in there yet (they're only about 4 weeks old). Yesterday, we had some rain, and I went outside to check...

    New Member From Texas

    My name is Matt, and I live in Nacogdoches, Texas. My wife and I just got 4 little chicks (2 Rhode Island Reds and 2 Ameraucanas) that are only about 2 weeks old now. My wife had the idea of getting chickens last year, so my Christmas present for her this past Christmas was to build her a...
