    What are these tiny BB’s in my Easter Eggers eggs?

They have clusters of small deposits of shell on the outside, and when I crack them open, there are numerous tiny perfectly round deposits inside.

    Treating bumblefoot…what did I miss?

    Hello all! I have a 1.5 year old Easter egger hen who recently developed bumblefoot. I saw that she was limping, noticed a pea sized black scab on the bottom of her right foot, and isolated her in a brooder in our house right away as she was being attacked by the rest of the flock. So far my...

I had the chance to...

    Chickens ate kinetic sand

    Ugh my chickens got into some kinetic play sand, probably about 1/3 cup total. It was dumped accidentally from a children’s toy into their free range area. I caught them eating it fairly quickly, but not sure how much they each ate. It looked like most of it was left by the time they were...

    How many roosters???

    Hello all! I have 8 Chickens, some Easter egger and some olive egger. I got them straight run at one day old, and they are now about 13 weeks old. I think 5 of the 8 turned out to be roosters. I have a friend that is willing to take them for eating, but I wanted to post some photos here and make...

    Will I need a heat lamp?

    Hello all! Second post on BYC! Think I know the answer to this but feeling a bit apprehensive about moving my chicks outside… My chicks will be 6 weeks old this Saturday, and my plan was to move them into the coop that day. I have 8 chicks, mix of olive and Easter egger. To my untrained eye...

    When can brooder go outside?
