    Anyone have any good tips and tricks that are Cheap and easy to boost protein and nutrition for chickens?

    Hey everyone! I’ve been keeping chickens for several years now, usually several flocks at a time, all free range over about 1 acre areas per flock. I’ve moved and started over with a much smaller flock. The difference between this flock and the previous ones is that they can’t free range. Also...

    Weak chick, chokes on everything, struggling to stand

    Hey everyone, I have this 2 day old chick that had a 48+ hour struggle to get out of his egg, and still had to be asisted the last bit of the way. He's alive but I can't say that he's well. He only started hatching over 24 hours after the other chicks in his batch. He's struggling to stand up...

    HELP!! Chick trying to hatch, more than 24 hours later, and no progress?

    Hey everyone, I’ve got a chick in the incubator that’s trying to hatch at the moment, but it’s more than 24 hours since the first crack appeared and it still hasn’t hatched. It’s cheating and wiggling around inside the egg still. The humidity dropped way too low during the night so I wasn’t able...

    Help! Pale comb, purple comb, and droopiness!

    Hey everyone, I have a Faverolle hen who has been looking unwell lately. She has a very pale comb, and is reluctant to eat. Very quiet and prefers to keep to herself.

    Weird bump on hen's toes. What is it?

    Hey BYC, I have a hen who has this huge bump in between her toes. I have another hen with the same problem. I took a look and found something that looks black (like a clog of dirt) wedged into this strange covering of skin. I've removed it a few times, but it keeps coming back. Now, the skin is...

    Chicken with hurt leg, not eating.

    Hi, Looking for some advice. One of our bantam hens' legs is hurt. She's the smallest chicken in the flock, and we suspect that her foot got caught in the mesh flooring of the coop, and then she hurt it while trying to get it out. We found her hopping around on one leg, her tail was a bit...

    Chicks getting sick - any idea what it is and what can help?

    Hello! Just wondering whether anyone can help me figure out what is wrong with some of my chicks. I hatched them in the incubator about three weeks ago. There are 15 of them, mostly Light Sussex.

    Cow just calved, not sure if the calf is suckling?

    Hello there! Our nearly seven year old dexter cow just surprised us this morning with a calf! She's our first cow and this is the first time she's calved since we've had her.

    How do you train a cow to become a house cow?!?!?!?

    Hey there all, We bought a cow sometime during May this year. She's a 6 year old Dexter cow, and we bought her 2 month old (at the time) heifer calf with her. We got her from some friends who have a herd of Dexters roaming around on their huge property. They used to be used for milking, but...

    Should I refit my Chinabator or buy a new one?

    Hey there chicken lovers! I posted a thread a while ago about my incubator and that left me thinking. So, I learned that I had bought a Chinabator and was referenced to a BYC post on ''fixing'' it up. It didn't look to hard, except that I was wondering if it is worth while to refit this...

    Is there a problem with the incubator or the management?

    Hey there chicken lovers, I have been hatching chicks for a while now, mostly under broody hens, but about eight months ago I bought an incubator to expand a little. I've used it a couple times, but I've never even had a fourth of the amount of eggs I put in it hatch. Well now that isn't going...

    URGENT! Think my chickens have some sort of deadly disease?

    Hey there chicken lovers! A few of my chickens have been unwell, and acting rather strange. Let me start at the beginning. So one morning when I went to feed them, one of my old silky hens didn't come running for her breakfast as usual. Actually, she hardly took any notice. Confused by her...

    Chick is struggling to walk - maybe splay leg?

    Hey there all! I've been in the process of hatching a batch of chicks, and I've found that two of my chicks are struggling to walk. They are both over a day old, have eaten and had a drink, and seem very healthy apart from their strange way of walking. I checked what splayed legs in chicks...

    How do you get the best hatch possible?

    Hi all chicken lovers! I've just finished my fourth hatch with my incubator, and only a fourth of the eggs I put in it hatched. Nearly all of the eggs were fertile and the incubator's humidity and temperature were just right. This isn't the first time this has happened either. I have a fully...

    Hey there chicken lovers! I have had a pretty major issue with red and leg mites over the last few years, but no matter how much or with what I treat them with, I just can't shake them from the coop! I've also moved several times since I started treating them. Any tips would be highly...

    Reducing feed cost

    Hi fellow chicken lovers! I am from Australia and there might be some Aussies out there who can give me advice. I have been keeping chickens for five years now, with my flock increasing over this time. The cost of keeping the chickens was not a big deal, as it was a small hobby, but the last...
