    Eggciting Development!

    All 3 of my April chicks are now laying!! It’s so rewarding to see all that hard work of raising them pay off. This is what it’s all about. It’s so funny how these little peeps grow up and play a big part in helping us eat organic eggs. Unfortunately, 1 of the gray ones passed away...

    Coccidiosis In Month Old Chicks?

    My girls stools look a little suspicious, and I do have some medicine leftover from treating my older flock, should I go ahead and proceed with treatment? Do the ones I treated last month need to be retreated too? I read they can develop antibodies but I’m not sure if it’s true. They do stay in...

    Coccidiosis Treatment Follow Up

    Okay so I finished the first dose. I haven’t seen anymore blood in stools so either I caught it early or they never had it to begin with. Should I give the half teaspoon dose for a week or two weeks? I’m not sure which call to make. Thank you to everyone who reached out on my last post! I...

    Are barred rock chicks sex linked?

    I got these cuties last week and read that females are supposed to be darker and have that black wash on their feet. I was just wondering if there’s any truth to that?

    Someone break down Coccidiosis for me please!

    I’m sorry, I know I posted this last night, but just wanted a couple more opinions. One of my girls had two droppings with some blood in them yesterday. I’m a nervous chicken mother. I haven’t seen anymore blood in stools, but maybe that’s because the infection is still early? I have some...

    Speck of red in chicken poop

    I saw some red on a couple of white liquid droppings, but the other deposits have been normal. The chickens are also acting energetic as always, should I be worried? I read sometimes chickens shed intestinal linings and was wondering if it could be as simple as that.

    Sour Crop

    One of my girls has a sour crop. I just started giving her anti fungal medicine today, but how often should her crop be drained? I don’t want her to spit up her medicine as well. Does my baby have a chance of surviving this? She’s almost 5 but still, this particular one is very special to us. 🥺...

    Possible egg bound hen

    As the title says, I have a suspicion one of my girls might be eggbound. As someone who has never dealt with this before, how can I confirm it and get the egg out? Can I really feel for it like google is saying? Rather get guidance from the pros here! Okay so her breast feels swollen like a...

    Am I at risk of getting sick?

    Okay this is so bizarre, but my pullet decided to peck my teeth and I immediately rinsed my mouth with mouthwash. Am I good? I’m going to be rinsing again with some hydrogen peroxide and water before I eat dinner as well.

    Anyone else get tired of people joking about eating your chickens?

    It’s been happening to me a lot lately. I just want to post one chicken pic without someone making a chicken nugget remark. 😪 it’s like asking someone if they will eat their dog, of course not!

    Are Opossums Misunderstood?

    I’ve been feeding this particular opossum and her friends for over a year now and not once have any of them tried to go after my chickens or any other animal hanging around. Obviously I would never leave any of my birds alone with one, but I have come to the conclusion they aren’t a threat, at...

    Am I good?

    Okay I’m pretty sure I have a roo here, but the others should be good right? These are all a month old now. Allegedly Easter Egger mixes but it doesn’t matter, they all have a sweet personality and are so smart! Training them has been a breeze. A friend said my suspected roo might just be a hen...

    Spoiled Chicks

    Last night the girls were ready to sleep in their coop for the first time so I’m feeling sentimental. Thought I’d post some fun pics from these last few weeks. 💓 Not posted in any particular order. The opossum I've been feeding for the past year was not happy with the chicks. 🤣 they have...

    Oh Dear

    My chicken babies are 3 weeks and this one’s comb is a little on the big side. Should I be worried? I’m trying not to jump to conclusions, because I have a female hen with a comb as big as a roosters lol! It’s just if this is a roo, I need to rehome him so he can live the life he’s meant to. 😢...
