    Getting some chicks...

    We currently have 6 hens (2 years old almost, EE, Black Australorp, Buff Orp, Silver Laced Wyandotte (2) and a Barnevelder). I can either order some new chicks online, or I can get what I want (mostly) via a local feed shop, BUT if I want to get the Blue Australorp, cream legbar and cuckoo...

    Bloody egg white

    This morning making eggs - one of our eggs we cracked open the entire white of the egg was bloody. Not like a single egg spot but the entire egg white. Is this ok? Should I be concerned over this hen?

    Sick chicken

    soo just noticed one of our chickens is sneezing. I had noticed some of their waddles have gotten pale but I attributed this to it being winter and them lying less in general (dumb noobie mistake). So I’m off to get supplies to clean the coop/run and treat the flock (6 in total). My main...

    Chicken injury help

    I heard some odd sounding chicken egg song so I went outside to check on them. I walked past Slayer (black australorp) and then noticed she was hanging upside down from the swing we have in their run, her foot had gotten tangled and she was stuck. I picked her up and untangled her. It doesn’t...

    Was this a bad idea?

    We built our coop planning on using corrugated plastic roofing and we’re choosing between tinted or clear. Well didn’t end up with a choice due to low supply so we got clear. The chickens can and do go up to the roost bar but at night huddle on the floor still. Which got me thinking maybe they...

    How deep for PDZ on coop floor?

How deep should each of these areas be roughly? still a lot of work to do yet on the coop, but once he...

    Is this chick ok?

    Got our 6 chicks Thursday morning, the barnevelder chick has been active and moving around with the other chicks but not quite as much. She’s acting more lethargic than the rest. While previously I was just keeping an eye on her I noticed this morning her wings are droopy, she’s not holding them...

    Does this set up look ok?

    We got our chicks (Mt Healthy) this morning. I wasn’t expecting them until tomorrow so I didn’t have everything set up quite yet. Does this look ok? I feel bad it’s not up to temp yet but they seem to be doing ok. Going back and forth from the heater and food/water. How soon after the gro gel...
