    Worming questions

    I have a hen with two 3 week old chicks she hatched. They spend the nights in my garage & the days in an outdoor pen in the 1 acre pasture where my other adults free range. This morning I saw a live roundworm in the mother hen’s poop. Have been reading & it sounds like safeguard is the way to...

    Struggling chick?

    I had 7 chicks hatch under a broody 2 weeks ago. One that I believe was the last to hatch on 10/31 seems more sluggish & sleepy that the others. It mostly stays in one place chirping, closing it’s eyes a lot & shaking its head. The others all are on the move a lot, pecking, scratching around...

    First hatch, exciting!

    After returning from a week of vacation I found my bantam jungle fowl on a hidden nest of 8 of her own eggs. I candled & 7 were developing. I was estimating her to have been on them about a week at that point. Since her nest was on the ground in an unsafe location I moved her & the eggs at night...

    Marans gender help

    What do you think of these Marans genders? I got them about 2 wks ago from someone who was unsure of their age (long story) but two...a splash & a blue are clearly older than the other splash & black. The older splash has a very aggressive attitude towards the other chicks & me. Do any of them...

    Breed?

    Purchased this chick from TSC as a speckled Sussex pullet but he’s turned out to be neither as he started crowing yesterday. I believe he’s bantam bc he’s quite a bit smaller than my pullets the same age (7 wks). Anyone know what breed he is? Clean, slate legs & single comb. He’s in the front...

    new chickenguard self locking door

    Has anyone used the new self locking door from chickenguard? I received mine in the mail today & was surprised to see so much plastic. At first I even thought the door was plastic but upon further inspection it might be painted aluminum. I'm trying to get something in place before we go on a...

    Good buy?

    I’ve been talking with someone about buying this 6x8 coop for $300. I realize some minor things made need to be done but overall do you think it’s a good purchase? We were going to build one but this would be less expensive than the one we were planning & eliminates the build time. My chickens...

    questions about getting a rooster

    I currently have 4 standard hens and 1 bantam hen. They free range with 5 goats and a livestock guardian dog in a 1 acre pasture. Last week we had a raccoon break into the nesting box & eat several eggs that were due to hatch soon(fertile eggs I'd gotten from someone else). Our LGD patrols all...

    Day 11 eggs look lifeless (photos)

    My broody hen has been so dutifully sitting on 3 eggs I got from a friend (bc I have no roo). I looked at them with a flashlight today & based on my googling I don’t think they are fertile. I’m a newbie so not sure what to do at this point. Do I get more eggs to swap them out & see how those...

I started with three hens in December....a barred rock bantam, a red production and a black maran. In March I acquired...

    chicks in raised coop

    Newish chicken owner here. I have had 5 hens for about a year. One is broody so I got three fertilized eggs from a friend and she's sitting on them. I'm only a week in so we'll see if it's successful but I'm thinking ahead & want to be prepared. We have a raised coop, about 2-3 feet off the...
