    Unkown issue

    This one has me stumped. I have a 2 year old plymouth who went from broody to....not acting like herself. Layes around while the others peck at treats. I isolated her and she doesnt have any crop issues and she isnt egg bound. She had a few raised scales on her legs so I put something on there...

    Outdoor water faucet

    Hello, I'm trying to see if there are any products that I could attach to my outdoor faucet so I can keep using it during the winter without fear of freezing the pipes/faucet. Going inside for the water is a pain and wish I could just use my outdoor tap. Does someone know of anything? Thx

    Eye bubble

    Hello, one of my 2.5 year old Bovin brown hasnt been herself for the past week (maybe more since they hide things well). She seems to be isolating herself a bit, not as active but still eats and drinks and is interested in treats. She stands with her neck close to her body and her tail down a...

    Integration

    Hi! I know this will vary from flock to flock but I wanted to see what you guys thought. I have 3 Bovans from 2019. I integrated with them 5 Plymouth rocks in June 2020 and it was sooooo hard. I did everything right (sectioned off portion of coop so they could be together yet seperated for 4...

    Hen plucking at others

    Hello, From my last post, I had found an injured hen that had been plucked and pecked at quite severly. I wasnt sure if all or one of my hens was the culprit. I had seperated the injured bird for several weeks (along with another one who got pecked on after she started molting) and she was now...

    Odd egg

    Hi! I have 4 Plymouth rocks and 1 commercial brown bird in my main coop. The Plymouth havent layed in weeks (winter break) and my commercial who normally lays in winter only has an egg every other week or so.

    Hi! I just moved my 4 week old plymouth chicks with my 3 adult bovin brown. My adults have had the run of the huge coop and run for several months.

    Do I have two roosters?

    Hi I have six 2 week old Plymouth barred rock that I got from a reputable breeder. I wanted all hens but of course nothing is guaranteed. Oddly, the two that have the smallest well defined head dots have the most white and no black on their legs so I think I have two roosters but would love...
