We just noticed that one of our hens just sitting under the coop all day. She had a sick look to her and wasn't eating. When I went to check on her today she wasn't doing much better... I did notice that when she pooped egg whites and a broken yolk came out. What is wrong with her? Help!
Hola! Is it too late in the year to start to hatch chicken eggs? It's early June and if I hatch them now, would they get their full feathers before the cold starts to set in? We live in a mountain but it stays pretty warm at day and kinda cold at night yr round. We have about 250 days of sun and...
I think I have finally gone crazy(for chickens, of course)! I think it's too early. :gig
The reason why I have gone mad is because I've decided to through my chickens a b-day party with my family and I as guests.:clap I already made them two presents (a water bottle full of seeds, meals worms...

Hey there! My family and I have found flattened Centipede in our house. One near the pantry door and two out in the open of my sister's room. Here is a picture of two of them:

Hello!(I think I always start my post's like this😅)I'm a old chicken owner (I would like to say something better but that is what I came up with...) My family and I have had chickens for almost a year, and I think I found my favorite thing to do; stare at all 8 of my girls for hours and hours...
Hi, there! My family and I are thinking about hatching our own chickies! But the question is, how?
We already have a Brinsea incubator (and the option to let our hens hatch them in a separate little coop area) and some chick starter. What else do I need? Should I hatch them or would it be...
One of my favorite girls( Becky Lunch) will make a gasping sort of sound when she eats. She seems normal other wise; drinking water, laying healthy looking eggs, normal poo etc. I haven't seen the others do it... Could there be something wrong?
We have 8 chickens and ALL of them will only lay in the same box! We tried crates, litter boxes, storage boxes, EVERYTHING and they seemed to only like the crates(bc they would only lay in that one) so we bought another! Problem solved. Right? Nope! Now all right will lay in that one. I went out...
