    Polish chicks being weird (almost drowned, poorly attempted dust bathing, winking)

    I have 9 polish chicks around 8 days old. They’re all healthy and active. I check them every 2-6 hours adjusting their brooder temperature and ventilation, cleaning their pine shavings, and changing their food and water. They’ve been chirping, eating, drinking, and pooping all fine but lately...

    Sudden death from pasty butt

    I recently got 10 polish baby chicks. This morning I found my favorite chick had passed away. She had poop sealing her vent so I’m guessing she passed away from pasty butt on top of other underlying factors. Yesterday afternoon and night, I admit she did seem a bit off. She kept falling asleep...

    Picking up chicks at the post office

    Hi! I ordered 10 polish/crested chicks in the mail and just got a notification at 1am saying that they’re at the distribution center and “in transit to the destination” and by destination, I’m guessing it’s my local post office. But I’m on the fence about waiting for them at my post office or...

    Dyeing chickens pink?

    So I saw this girl on tiktok she her silkie with purple food coloring and I wanted to do it too. But before I jumped on that bandwagon, I did some research just to see what other people have said. Turns out there are a lot of people who like to dye their chickens. Obviously dyeing an animal a...

    Apologetic Neighbor

    I’m a bad neighbor. My girls are really loud since it’s getting warmer and my dad has been doing house construction for the past 2 months now. My tiny dog keeps running outside into the street and I always chase after him barefoot. We can’t go anywhere because of covid-19 and all my neighbors...

    Korean Sauna Eggs

    Okay, plebeians. When my sister and I first went to a South Korean convenient store, we tried making ramen there. We wanted to add eggs and grabbed the first ones we saw. They were really expensive like $3 for a pack of two but we didn’t care we just thought they were raw eggs... we were wrong...

    Can you “Pavlov Dog” a Flock to Lay in the same spot?

    I have 10 hens that I free range. They first collectively laid their eggs underneath my back staircase which I got worried about because we have opossums that like to hang around there. So I took all of the eggs from that spot and they immediately stopped laying there. A couple of days pass and...

    Sustainable Feed Recommendations?

    Because of the recent pandemic a lot of my local stores have been limiting their hours, staff, and stock. Likewise, I was wondering if anyone has any sustainable feed recommendations? Ideal feeds: - fast/quick results - inexpensive - nutrient rich - large output - low maintenance - sustainable...

    How to catch a feral cat?

    There’s this feral cat that attacked my girls a few nights back. Luckily all of my girls survived but they were still traumatized and one had a lot of missing feathers. I locked them up in their coop the next night but the cat came back and tried to reach its paws into tiny gaps and managed to...

    Missing Hen

    Last night one of my chickens went missing. The night before she was attacked by a small feral cat and 1/3 of her feathers had been plucked out. I let my hens free range during the day so when I was locking up I realized that she was gone. I got a flashlight and started looking everywhere but...

    Mystery Predator

    I live in a somewhat residential area with neighbors but they don’t seem to mind. I have 10 lovely adult hens. A couple of nights ago one of them was screaming bloody murder. Because of covid-19 my uni is closed and my sleeping schedule is pretty much non existent. So I was awake when I heard...

    Using a Space Heater as a Temporary Heat Source & Bald Bumps Near Chicks' Shoulder/Neck

    Hello :) I recently got 12 assorted baby chicks (around 3 days old) but couldn't find a heat lamp safe enough for my brooder. I'm using a very large rabbit cage with a deep thick plastic bottom. I covered the ground of the brooder with newspaper and then a layer of pine shavings. My dad placed...
