We decided to add to our flock, so I got six black sexlinks and two olive eggers. I was happy!!!!
Then the smaller OE died and lady said she would replace her, I would have purchased another but she offered, I agreed, then she ghosted me. I waited a week and started looking for other green...
I noticed one of my easter eggers losing feathers well now its all three EEs. Their coup, nest and run are all treated heavily with DE, have been since the beginning. When I noticed I treated them directly with it but nothing has gotten better. What can I do? What is it? Please help!
I have seen a post on Facebook (it's a sponsored ad) saying that you should add oregano, sage, ginger and garlic to your chicken feed.

So now that I had a roo in my hens and saw someone on Facebook talking about beards on Easter eggers i am concerned that I have two more roos!
I am praying I am wrong, will you please help? They are almost 13 weeks old.

Thanks for letting me join!
I was finally able to talk my husband into getting chickens, he agreed to four and that became 11! Gotta love chicken math!
When I was a kid we killed meat chickens for Sunday super but i have never had layers. Now I am in love. I have 3 easter eggers, 2 barred...
