    Pic of chick starter???

    My husband went to a different feed store and picked up chick starter feed yesterday. I’m concerned about it, so need advice please. I don’t give my chicks grit until I give them food other than chick starter, but this feed has small pieces of ground corn. Can they eat this? Pic attached.

    Hydrometer battery and Mama heating pad

    i have an incuview. Chicken eggs are to start lockdown today. The hydrometer battery in it just died. Can I change it before locking them down without harm? Well I set the eggs in the incuview on Jan 9th. Also I don’t remember what setting I used for Mama heating pad last year. I think it was...

    Poop board construction

    I’m wanting to build a poop board for my small coop. It is 6x6 foot I have Barred Holland’s. From what I’ve read they are not one of the larger sized chickens. The max width I can do without it being awkward is 14” wide. That is 7 inches on each side of the roost. That isn’t much room from the...

    Poop pic

    It doesn’t look red like blood. It is more brown with maybe a reddish tint? (Reddish brown) I had treated for 5 days with liquid corid. Treatment ended about 2 weeks ago. I used 10 ml per gallon of water. 2 of our of 5 chickens have poop that looks like this. I moved this particular bird...

    37 day old treat

    my chicks are 37 days old. They are my first chickens and I hatched them myself. They are from Barred holland eggs I had shipped from Louisiana. Omg, I gave them a treat while ago. They acted like they had never eaten! It was a chicken frenzy!!! They had been treated with corid for cocci, do I...

    Insecticide for new coop

    My project coop is taking me too long due to an injury. We went to a place that sells shed, barns etc and bought a chicken coop to be delivered. It is really nice and sturdy. I noticed it had what I am assuming is clover mites inside and outside of the coop. It is a new building with new...

    I never posted a pic of my holland chicks. Here is a pic of them sitting in an aquarium while I cleaned their brooder. I’m very pleased with my first chickens, especially since I hatched them myself!

    Cocci bloom

    my chicks are a week old. They are eating medicated chick starter. Their poop is getting more runny and getting foamy. I’m pretty sure it is an increase in coccidiosis. Is their anything extra I should do? So far no pasty bottoms, but the diarrhea is getting pretty bad. Thank you.

    Is something wrong?

    Take out egg turner?

    someone on another group who has an incuview as well, said I only need to turn off the egg turner on day 18. She said to leave them in the egg turner though. This seems to me that if one ends up on its back and struggling to right itself, that would make it harder if in an egg turner. What...

    Kansas City Mo/Platte county

    I can have roosters if they are 100 yards from any building used by a human neighbor. My own dwellings and buildings are exempt. The property beside me was recently sold. He has 10 acres. I have 3. From where he says he is going to build my new coop would be fine. But he hasn’t started yet and...

    Ventilation question

    I’m redoing an old shed to start my first coop. Many years ago it was my pigeon loft. It is 8x8 and is one of those lofted style roofs. The roof should only need redhingling but I have to redo the rest. There is a hole in the roof about 8” diameter that has a turbine vent on it. It causes a...

    New to the coop

    Hi, I don’t have any chickens yet. I have been reading about them for the past several months. I plan to get some fertilized eggs or breeders this spring. As soon as it warms up enough for me to drag my husband’s tools out I am redoing an old shed for a coop. I look forward to seeing pictures...
