Hello,
My hen, Missee, has had quite the couple weeks. She is going through a moly and has lots of pin feathers on her underside. About three weeks ago, Missee laid a rubber egg and the next day laid a thin-shelled egg. I’ve been giving her aspirin as instructed by my vet and then gave her...
I have two young hens, Millee and Missee. Millee is very dominant, and Missee is rather meek and quiet. A few weeks ago - maybe 3? - they both had some frostbite on the tops of their combs. They seemed to have been doing fine. Then, earlier this week, I fed them and noticed that Millee was...

These two girls are my first ever, so I'm kind of paranoid and wondering if I'm treating the right thing. Both of them are 3 months old, and I hatched them in an incubator in my classroom. I've noticed one of them having brown spots on her legs before, but didn't think anything of it since she...
I am just starting with my backyard chickens. I have two pullets that are 3 months old this next week. I did order one of those coops from Amazon, and it's cedar. I have read that the cedar bedding is bad news, but have heard that the building materials should be ok? The last thing I want to do...
