    Crop problem in 14 month BLRW, any ideas? Any help appreciated!

    We have a 14 month Black laced red wyandotte who I found had a slow/backed up crop about 3 weeks ago. I'm not sure how long it had been backed up because she had been in her hard molt and I wasn't doing health checks as often as I usually do (every couple days). Her crop was about the size of a...

    Egg white poop?

    Hey all, I have some girls that are about 18 weeks now, one of them has taken to sleeping on top of the coop and I noticed that she pooped something that looks like egg white. There's some shed intestinal lining there, which I tend to notice more during the cold season with all of our girls so...

    Coyote snatched a chicken yesterday :(

    Yesterday I ran some errands and left the girls out, like I have most days for the 3 years we have had them. Well, today at 2:39 a coyote jumped our wall and grabbed one of our ladies. Most of our walls are 9 or 10 feet tall and I had just neglected to notice that there was one section that was...

    Tylan...

    I was trying to put together an order for some different things for my first aid kit, and Tylan popped up on a group on FB that I am in. Many people seem to use the injectable, but I see that there is a powder form that can be administered by mixing into drinking water. I know what it's used...

    Second time hatching, first time didn't go very well, any advice is welcome!

    A couple years ago we tried hatching eggs from a hatchery that were shipped in. We received 6 eggs, two were broken upon arrival and so 4 went into the incubator. We did basic reading but I in hindsight I should have just signed up here and started asking everyone for advice and started reading...

    Making a dustbath...best "ingredients".

    Hi all, I have some big planters that the girls have repurposed into "dustbaths", they had bagged ground soil in them and I wondered if there was a better alternative. They are the felt type so they sort of slump as the girls fling the dirt out. Now that they are nearly empty I want to refill...

    10 week old Speckled Sussex roo free to a good home in Phoenix, AZ

    Wyatt Chirp is a 10 week old Speckled Sussex who began crowing a couple weeks ago. His crow isn't loud, maybe because he is young. He was purchased from MPC as a pullet and delivered the 21st of July. I really want him to have a nice home to go to, he is very sweet. Roosters are not allowed...

    9 week snowy Easter egger, pullet or cockrel?

    I was looking at my daughter’s chicken today (she named her Snow White) and it occurred to me that she has very masculine tail feathers. What do you guys think? The white color makes it hard to figure things out, but “she” is one of our larger birds. I will be really dismayed if we had two...

    Tolbunt Polishes?

    Has anyone ordered any Tolbunt polish chicks or pullets from anywhere and if so what was you experience like? Did everything go smoothly? Were they straight run only or could you select pullets? I would really like to get one, preferably a started pullet but I don’t have any experience with the...

    Question about tapeworms after meds dosing...

    I am going to medicate my girls for tapes today using Equimax. I have the thread about dosing, but is there anything I should do about the grazing areas and run areas they use? They have a sand floor in their run, and they have a grass and clover yard to free range in during the day. I use...

    Hello!

    Hi all! I'm new here as a member but I have been lurking and learning here for a couple years now. I started with chickens in 2018 helping a friend with a homeschool flock and I fell in love with them. I currently care for the homeschool flock where we have an EE, a super blue, a GLW, a BLRW...
