    Pecking and feather eating

    Hey everyone. My flock is in bad shape. Many of them have bald spots in their backs or near their vents that have dried blood due to pecking. I’ve seen them peck themselves and others.

    Chick pushed hatching egg upside down?!

    The first chick has hatched and has been rustling all the eggs around. One was actively starting to pip/zip and he pushed it upside down against the side and the beat is stuck out and panting. It hasn’t made any progress and I’m worried it’s stuck because it’s in the wrong position. Thoughts...

    Leghorn Crosses

    Hey all, I have a white leghorn rooster now and am excited to try hatching out eggs. I’m curious on what crosses would be best. My first thought was to try rhode island reds.

    Brown vs. White Leghorns

    Hey, I’m thinking of adding a few white egg layers to my flock this year and am interested in Leghorns. I prefer the looks of the brown ones but have heard that they are larger, therefore have a worse food to egg ratio, and lay less in general. I have a covered run but do let them free range in...

    My flock is sneezing and opening their beaks like they can’t breathe! What do I do?

    Hello, I recently noticed most of my hens sneezing very high pitched during feeding and throughout the day. They also have their beaks open during feeding like they can’t breathe very well. I have been worming with DE, so I am not sure if it is gapeworm? Or what else could it be? What can I do...
