    Anyone have Speckled Sussex from Cackle with egg issues?

    Anyone have Speckled Sussex from Cackle? If you do, egg issues? My girls have always tended to lay strange eggs. Thinner shells (If I find broken ones, it's theirs), the shells all have the "sandpaper" calcium bumps on the pointy end, and now they've lost their pigmentation. I have 7 SS, 6...

    Failure to Thrive.. but wings and legs grow?

    Anyone ever have this? The puffball on the left is a brand new EE chick... the awkward little muppet on the right is Pixie. She's a 4 week old California White. Her wings and legs grew, and now her tail. The feathers she grew are not healthy, spotty and thin. Her legs grew some but so out of...

    Is this a Cuckoo Maran chick, or...

    or was the girl at TSC a little clueless today? I talked them into selling me ONE chick to keep my little Pixie company. Pixie is a 4 week old California White that never grew. Her wings, legs and beak grew. But her body didn't. How she's still alive I have no idea. I've wanted to get a Maran...

    Two days ago I got two eggs. Both shell-less. It was our first eggs, it's been stinking hot... I am not concerned about it, just setting a time line :) Both were laid near the roost bars. Yesterday I got my first egg!! From an almost-20 week old Easter Egger! (They turn 20 weeks today). It had a...

    Food everywhere, run floor. Should I clean it up or let them eat it?

    So my sweet little Sussex chicks (8 weeks old) have found that scratching their food out of the feeder and covering the floor of the run with it is fun. There is a crap ton of feed on the ground. Tomorrow I was planning on covering the run floor with sand. (I hadn't done this yet, the coop has...

    Movin' Out? in cold PA. Never ending winter from h***

    My girls will be 5 weeks old on Monday. They are big and I think you'd call them fully feathered. From the start they only had the mother hen heat plate, no heat lamp. And my house is old and really cold. They outgrew the brooder at 2 weeks so I pieced together a giant box and put them in my...

    Creative Coop Lighting.

    Has anyone tried something like this? Will the chooks leave it alone? Will it work for early morning wake up calls when the days start getting shorter? --and if this is a bad idea what have others used? --and yes, lol ETA: Ideally I'm looking for something with a built in timer so that I don't...

    Chicken coop smells like cedar.

    Hello :) Totally newbie with an urgent question... I'm unpacking the coop I bought because my 4 week old chicks are starting to peck thru the giant box/brooder I have them in. I was going to build the hen house part and move them into that, inside, until it was warm enough to move out. I knew...
