Hi I’ve hand raised my babies. They are awesome. I have 8 total. Turns out two were roosters, so far because of my hand raising in the house they get along awesome. My issue not problem, is actually with one of my girls. She’s greedy lol and follows me everywhere. The following doesn’t bother me...
I have 8 chickens. 2 are over a year old and 6 are almost 4 months. I have pics and guesses of some of their breeds can anyone help? All were bought at TS. The tow older ones I think are Amaricanas, then I think I have a black and white Rock, two feathered feet Giant Brahmas and not sure about...
Hi,
I just put 6 pullets in with two grown hens in a new coop. I’m giving all of the probiotics in water. I went into coop today and noticed a diarrhea puddle but not sure which one. Rest of the poop looked normal. They are all eating and grazing fine. The 6 babies hide in the house most of the...
So I am in Ohio and my son in law just found this dangerous worm in his garden. It is dangerous to our animals from dog, cat to chickens and cows ect. Also dangerous to humans. Do not chop it or kill it in field or catch it with bare hands. Catch it with gloves and kill it with salt and vinegar...
I have 6 babies. Well they’re going on 6 weeks now. It’s been cold so they are still in house. Anyway, I’ve notice for a couple of weeks a few of them when lying down make this thumping sound. At first it was only one, then I noticed a couple others do it as well. It’s so weird.
Hi
I have two grown ladies and will be adding 8 new pullets to them once new house and run is up, and of course the little ones are old enough. Anyway, how do you go about feeding once they are in same house since the little ones can’t eat layer feed yet?
Well my girls as babies loved to be held. Almost a year now and the run if I go to touch them. They come at the sound of my voice, gather at my feet but won’t let me pet or pick them up. Tonight we had to clip my little Daisy’s wings because she kept escaping and after two of the three being...
So my three little girls started laying. I finally found their eggs in the roost area of their house, also in the egg boxes. Of course they were frozen we had a freeze. I haven’t even looked in bottom of house too cold and damp to get on knees. Question is how do I get them to lay only in their...
So as some know my three hens are my first babies. I always thought the feeders were red because it was cheap or something. Honestly I never thought about it much. Until I went outside in my red flannel and my Betty kept pulling on my shirt. LOL. Every time. So I looked it up and realized they...
I have 3 hens they are 8 months old and have never given eggs. Two of them at different times were attacked by neighbors dogs and nursed through it and during great. Now of course winter is here. Could the stress and now the cold stop the from laying their first eggs? Here are my girls at...
Hi all. I know this may sound silly. I have just 3 hens. I spoil rotten. I’ve been sick then broke my arm so they rarely seen me. My brother in law has been tending them. They hear my voice the run out of house looking for me. Three days ago, I went into run to show brother how I changed their...

Hi. I’m a new chicken owner. I have 3 chicks. They are 5 weeks old. We have a nice coop and a safe run my husband built for them. I took them on field trips introducing them to the area and the house a few times. Today they spent the day, but only ventured out the door if I went inside the run...
