    Electric Fence?

    Spring is coming, and that means predators are out and about looking for a bite to eat. We free range our chickens, and our property is huge and most of it is hilly. We've had a fox snatch all of our ducks one by one and watched one grab one of our Rhode Island Red pullets in broad daylight...

    Runny Poops!

    Hello, one of my chickens has had really runny poops for awhile and only recently striked concern since it's been happening so much and her bum fluff is starting to become poopy, she seems 100% fine, she eats and drinks and preens like any other chicken and shes got a big personality and is very...

    Disease/Illness Preventatives?

    Usually I come on here looking for a cure to an illness or an injury, but I'd like to stray away from that as much as I can in the upcoming year! What can I do this spring to make sure my coop is as protected from illness, mites, and diseases as it possibly can be? I know a clean coop is the...

    Listless Hen!

    Yesterday I went up to care for my chickens (like usual) and noticed one of my leghorn hens acting really sluggish. I scooped her up which was really odd for her because shes a very skittish girl. I grabbed a dog crate and gave her some water with ACV which she did drink but only took a few sips...

    Soft Shelled Egg

She seemed a little bit in discomfort and me being a worried chicken mom I decided to look up her symptoms and...

    Pullet or Cockerel?

    This was my first experiment hatching my own eggs in the incubator, I had almost a 4/6 hatch rate however one unfortunately passed away from hatching too early. I am now left with these three gorgeous birds, all from the same father and Penguin and Wheezy (given that name since his crow sounds...

    EMERGENCY! HELP!

    So I went to check on my chicks before I said goodbye for the night and noticed feathers sticking out of one of my 2 month olds, I quickly grabed her and instantly ran her down to the house and grabbed a crate, at first I just thought she had ripped her skin off but when i went to clean it out I...

    Chicken Limping

    Hello, my 5 month old Buff Rock pullet started limping for awhile and while doing research my first thought and fear was Marek's disease, however her only symptom is limping and since she is a heavier bird, and our perch is quite high up, I'm thinking she jumped down and sprained her leg. I also...

    Staggered Hatch, Help!

    So, I had 6 eggs in the incubator, however 2 of the 6 have been staggered and are 4 days younger than the other 4. So anyways, one pipped on day 19 and two more began pipping on day 20, 2 hatched out perfectly fine and one broke out half way and died, I'm thinking it tried hatching too early...

    Runt Chick... Help!

    This is my 2 day old Speckled Sussex, I'm quite concerned... the other chicks in the brooder are a bit bigger, she gets pushed around easily, she's not as lively and sleeps a ton, I haven't seen her eat much. I took her out and let her get a few drinks of water with Electrolytes and gave her...

This is my first online hatchery experience, I've heard good things from Meyer Hatchery but I'd love to hear your...

    Male or Female?

    Hello! Just curious... do you think the little Barred Rock is a male or a female? It's about 2 months of age, I was told pullet but little details have me puzzled! It has a decently large comb but it hasn't grown much at all and no wattles? It's also an orangery color, not actually that red...
