    Chicken sniffle

    I always sit by the chicken run and observe my chickens and today, as I watched them, one of the girls flew to a nearby roost to get close to me - she always does this. And I heard her sniffle and also when she shook her head, I felt some droplets on my face. I looked closer to see the source of...

    My chickens wont eat their egg shells

    I've always given egg shells to my chickens and they ate them which resulted to really hard shelled eggs since they started laying in January, but this week, I saw one egg on the ground with no shell, thankfully they didn't eat it. Then I saw 2 more days with an egg on the ground like the hen...

    We have our first (temp) chicken run!

    We finally got to build our very simple chicken run! Here's a short video I made. BTW all our ladies are doing really good after that winter storm and their frost bite (tiny dots on their comb) and some head jerking and open mouth breathing. We gave them VetRx, vitamins in their food and...

    Antibiotics and eggs

    Can you eat eggs if you give antibiotic to chickens in their water? I started giving my girls amoxicillin in their water mixed with apple cider and some vitamin supplements two days ago after I gathered the morning eggs. The evening eggs I separated as I'm not sure if it's safe to consume even...

    One panting out of 8 hens, it's 66F outside

    I try to observe all my hens daily when I feed and water them. One RIR while brooding is picking up wood shavings in the box and placing them on her back. The others try to see what one hen is doing if that hen is sitting too long in the box. I get 6 eggs most days, then 5 then back to 6 like...

    I have super chickens! They survived a mini cyclone and recently an arctic blast in Oklahoma

    For those who have watched my previous YouTube video, you may be wondering what happened to my ladies after the mini cyclone and that bloody event in the coop where a cuckoo maran hurt its claw. For those who don't know, I'm a new chicken mama, got my chickens at about a month old in October...

    Posting a youtube link about a 27mph wind that damaged my coop and killed a layer 2 days ago.

    Not sure where to post this, but this is probably the right forum. I welcome comments and suggestions. We moved to our home in October of 2018 and are re-using a metal coop we inherited in the backyard. We were not ready to have chickens when they were given to us last October 2020.

    Was my leg-feathered cuckoo maran picking on its claws?

    I went to get eggs just now and I found a lot of blood in my coop. My cuckoo maran had a bloody beak and was bleeding in one of its claws. I was wondering what was happening if they are on their own because early this morning when I fed, I found a lot of speckled feathers on the ground. I...

    What's wrong with two yolks?

    I have not had a two-yolker yet, but I'm expecting it as I like egg yolks. But I read just now from another site that if eggs are getting two yolks, then something is wrong with the diet. Is this true? Thanks.

    Is it true you're not to feed chickens anything moldy?

    Today I started getting 4 eggs! My hens started giving me an egg a day a week ago, then it became 2 eggs and then 3 for the past two days. So I try to give them extra treats like bread or meat- any left over food. Today I gave them moldy cheese, 2 banana muffins, some broccoli and an orange. The...

    I got an egg this morning!

    Good morning everyone! I went this morning with the usual feeding and giving extra treats - I keep a stash in the coop of nuts, sweets from Christmas that expired, crushed egg shells. Sometimes I give them cooked bones with some meat as I can't give to dogs cooked bones. Their usual feed is...

    Dirty eggs with chicken poop

    I heard from one youtube homesteader that if chicken eggs have chicken poop, the chicken has worms. Is this true? What do you use to deworm the chicken? Is DE foodgrade the right one to use? Thanks!

    Hello! Having my very own chickens for the first time. Excited!

    Hi everyone! My chickens were given to me at a time when we weren't ready yet, although we've been talking about having them. I originally wanted white leghorns for meat since we had them when I was a very young kid and I'm surprised that people have them for eggs too! Anyway, my chickens are -...

    Cackling chicken

    My chickens were given to me last November. They were probably a month old when I got them, and I've been watching how they have grown and how they fly. I have 5 RIR that are pretty big, and slightly smaller: a barred rock; a polish and 2 more RIR. The smaller ones are of the same age I guess...
