    What’s causing thin egg whites and soft egg yolks?

    I couldn’t eat my chickens eggs for about a week because I had to dose their water with some chlorhexidine (prescribed by their vet). They’re dealing with some fowl pox but I saw that they were getting through it just fine so I stopped the chlorhexidine. I saved their eggs and decided to check...

    Feeding your medicated hens their eggs?

    Hey there, My vet prescribed me chlorhexidine (2cc/gal of water) for my egg layers to help them with fowl pox. I’d have to wait seven days after they stopped drinking the medication for the eggs to be edible. Until then… could I feed my hens their cooked eggs and crushed egg shells? If anyone...

    I had to medicate my hens to help them fight off some fowl pox. I put chlorhexidine in their water 2ml/gal. Does anyone know if it is safe to eat their eggs? Thanks.

    Hi, I noticed a growth on one of my chicks beaks. So far, this chick is the only one that has it. Anyone have an idea of what it might be? What should I do?

    Should I move my broody hen?

    So I had a broody feral hen that kept going broody and I eventually ended up just letting her hatch her eggs. She hatched her first one today and it is so beautiful. I just let her hatch them in the egg hutch but I’m not sure if I should be separating her and her eggs from the rest of the flock...

    Chickens not eating layer feed

    I have two SLW, two ameraucanas, and four feral chickens. My chickens wouldn’t eat their layer feed and would rather forage. Their egg production was slow (2 eggs per day) so I decided to feed them some treat feed. When they had the treat feed, five of them (the rest of the gerald are too young)...

    Blood in chicken poop.

    This morning I found blood in my chickens poop. I have two SLW, two ameraucanas, four feral chickens. My SLW were raised on medicated chick feed (only when they were chicks), my ameraucanas were bought from someone else, and three out of four of my feral chickens were raised on medicated chick...

    What is she trying to tell me?!?!

    So my SLW are a very chatty pair. They woke me up this morning to let them out but the one that was screaming went back in twenty minutes later to sit in the coop. I don’t know if she’s just practicing her egg song (hasn’t started laying yet) because I found her in her nesting box later that...

    Chicken "Crying"

    My hens used to put themselves to bed at sundown. For the past week or so, my mom has gotten interested in my chickens and started to chase them into their coop "so they can lay eggs" a couple of hours before the sunset. I have no idea why she thinks that my chickens don't know where to lay eggs...

    First Egg - Will they get bigger?

    Hey, attached is a picture of my first egg. It is a VERY beautiful blue color (just happened to match the flowers on my nails) and turned out pretty clean. My dog, Cookie, seems to be fascinated by the egg as well :) my two ameraucana hens are around seven months old and according to the person...

    "Buk buk bukaaawhk" (actually more of a "ca cah cacahk"

    A few questions, one about my hen's "squaking" or "bukawhkwing," one about egg laying times, and one about hens bullying. I named my chickens but for the sake of this thread, I will just refer to them with their breed and age. I have seven chickens, two five month silver laced Wyandotte, three...
