    Any hope? Adoptive mama advice

    We have a small flock of 6. We have room for more but only wanted 6-8 originally. So we had a hen go broody, she sat on two fake eggs and we decided to let her have two babies. Adoption day and the following 2 days went off without a hitch. The 3rd day we were visiting them and noticed one...

    Broody a month into laying?

    My BO started laying a month ago and has started to exhibit broodiness already. She’s still laying and not in the nest all day but definitely more than usual and growls if you dare disturb her. Is there any harm in just letting her go? She will not be hatching chicks. Or do I have to break...

    Newest concern - egg color and texture change

    Beautiful Betty has been laying for nearly two months without a break inbetween like all my other hens. Normally she lays spotted Olive eggs. The last two days they look more grayish and rough. Nothing else seems out of ordinary besides our weather I guess. Cause for concern?? Two weird...

    We have ticks help!

    I think I have a tick problem 😭😭😭 I noticed super tiny tiny tiny ticks on my feet the other day in the chicken yard. We tried sprinkling with DE and it seemed to work for a day or so but now I think I see them on Goldie’s comb. She won’t let me get super close. What do I do?!

    Whatcha think made my Olive egger? Legbar cuckoo marans mix?

    She came from rural king who got their chicks from Hoover’s. We thought she was a barred rock as a chick, she looked identical to our barred rock chick at the time (to us newbs). Soon realized she was something totally different. I figured she was an Olive egger ever since she grew a crest...

    Whiting True Green vs Starlight Green Egger

    During my search of what breed my chicken is I’ve discovered these two hybrid breeds. I can’t find much information on them but they seem similar. Are they the same thing just named different from different hatcheries? They both say they can come out with varying red colors, some with white...

    Sex and breed of red chicken

    Every time I think I'm settled on she's a she, someone comes along and says, that may be a rooster. 15 weeks and still no idea what breed she is. She's way more developed than my other 15 week olds but I'm hoping she's just an early bloomer??

    Roost height

    I just wanted to get your expert advice on my roost situation. I’m in Florida and I have an open air coop design that is 12x6 with nest boxes on the back and door on the front so I figured the roost should go on the side wall to be out of the way. It’s just under 4 ft high. I also installed a...

    Limping pullet

    One of my girls is limping a bit and favoring a foot. I’ve looked her over and I don’t see anything like bumble foot. She’s laying down a little more than usual but still keeps up with the flock. They “free range” about a 500 Sqft piece of yard. I thought about keeping her in the run so she...

    Blotchy Chicken legs?

    Is something bothering their legs/feet? What do normal chicken feet look like? I feel like it’s most noticeable on my BO but I can’t get the greatest pictures. I also notice it on my red girl (not sure what she is exactly). Is this the start of something bad? I never knew chickens could...

    Painting help

    This may be a silly question but I’m not sure how to go about painting the part of my coop that touches the ground. I realize it would have been better to paint to before the birds moved in but I could not wait that long. So here’s my dilemma, the inside of the coop ground is currently a...

    Predator proofing open air coop

    Finally got our open air coop built by some awesome people. It’s solid and fitted with hardware cloth and we added a predator apron. But will these roof slots be a problem? Or these slots inbetween the nest box boards? Also these locks on the nest boxes, you have to life the latch while...

    Photoshoot in the bamboo

    They are finally in their own fenced in area and exploring. They love the bamboo bush! I had no idea I’d become so attached to these cuties. Gilly was acting sick the other day but has made a full recovery and was super photogenic yesterday. I just love watching them change and I can’t wait...
