    Our young goats ate some Carolina allspice

    That plot was fenced in but a tree fell last night and they used it to get over the fence and when I found them today they had eaten about one or two branches of the Carolina allspice. They seem fine but I'm worried looking online at it being toxic to them.

    I found this in my layers feed

    Now I buy feed weekly from a farm that makes their own feed and the stuff is amazing. But I found like 7 of these in a bag. Now I keep my bags super secure and tied up in the shade, no humidity etc. I reached out to the em ur they never got back to me. What could it be. It's crunchy and hard

    I just noticed one of my over a year old hens is blind!

    Their coop is clean and huge. No drafts but has a big window for good ventilation. Their feed is from a farmer and is absolutely amazing stuff. They get veggie scraps etc. all of them healthy as can be. We have a 20 acre farm and they range in an acre orchard so no predation. I noticed she's...

    Help! One of my chicks in the incubator hatched 3 days b4 it was due.

    Should I leave it in there a day more and take it out? It must have hatched last night cuz it's almost dry. It's on day 3 so I'm supposed to take out the turning tray today. Should I put it by itself in the brooder when I take out the turning tray? I've never had a chick hatch 3/4 days b4 the date.

    Recently purchased layer feed from a n farm that sells feeds and has great reviews.

    My friends say it’s trash cuz it’s mainly powder. Is this what good feed looks like or not. Is it indeed too powdery?

    So I got gifted some chicks because hurricane Helen hit us super hard, took out our old barn and half our home. Idk what they are or their gender

    I know they are only 5 weeks maybe? I don’t have the ladies contact. She just gifted them to my aunt a week ago and I’m very grateful but I’m also very curious. I know they’re too young to be 100 on gender but if any of you seasoned pros have any tips it would be greatly appreciated and fun.

    What can I do about chickens laying eggs other than in coop?

    I’m new to chickens. I have a tack room made into a large coop. My hens free range and I usually close the door to the coop once they’re out in the morning. They’re starting to lay eggs but most don’t lay in the morning so the coop is closed so no predators will enter it. The area they free roam...

    What does this poop indicate?

    Sorry still learning, I found a couple of these poops after my chickens ate watermelon. Idk if it’s related or if this is something else. Yesterday they ate some tomatoes but I doubt that’s what it is. They’re only 4 months old and eating crumbles

    Yikes

    We all thought she was the hen, and she at 8 weeks old crowed at me. Everyone thought she was a hen because of her chick feathers also she/he is the only one with a comb out of all the chicks and they’re all same age. I know it’s not for sure until eggs or no eggs but everyone that chimed...
