    Eggs Chirping too Early

    I purchased 4-Welsh Harlequin eggs from Metzer Farms. They arrived and were placed 2 each under broody chicken hens on the 12th of November. This morning there is chirping under one hen. Isn't it too early? @Jenbirdee

    Cat/Kitten for Mouse Control

    I have a mouse issue. I am trapping them and catching every evening but I don't think I am getting ahead of it. While my run is surrounded in 1/2 inch hardware cloth with aprons, the mice can actually tunnel from 18-inches away to get in. I am not a cat person, so I know nothing about cats...

    Entering the Most Dangerous Time of the Year

    Over the past few days, I have been a nervous wreck hearing and watching the hawks try some daring maneuvers - and there are many more of them. A red-shouldered hawk tried a dive and bounced off my hawk netting. It was not the little hawks I usually see, it was big - probably a Mom. Even...

    Thank you - A Great Help for Handicap Birds

    I want to thank BYC for all of the YouTube video's of chickens, especially the ones that are 6-9 hours long. For my handicap birds, when I cannot be with them, they have been a lifesaver. I put my ipad in the large crate and they love to watch the chickens. If they have not been monetized...

    Solved Review Filters

    I am starting to post products I am using for my disabled hens. I want people to be able to use the filters to find these products. When I put "disabled" into "items that mention", it will not pull up the product if disabled is only in the tags; it has to be somewhere in the description. Can...

    Disabled Chickens Forum

    I believe there are many members with disabled and geriatric limited mobility chickens that need a place to go to ask questions and share ideas with others experiencing the same challenges. While I understand there may be a reluctance to add another forum, I would ask you to consider this...

    Solved Suggestion for New Member Questions

    As a greeter, 1-2 out of 5 of the new members have birds other than chickens. I think we should change the questions wherever it says "chickens" to "chickens/birds"

    Medal

    I would like to make a suggestion for an additional medal? I really think BYC should have a medal for members who do selfless acts for chickens, like the lady who took in 4-very sick chickens from the factory farms, the lady who about a week ago joined....she turned her sunroom into a home for...

    Wing Drop Head Down

    My EE’s are 4 1/2 weeks old. One of them, has a wing drop (only one), and and is not extending her next up. When she looks at me, or looks up, she uses her body to look up instead of elongating her neck normally. I think she has a sprained wing. The only vet I have available within 3-hours is on...

    Uses for Pine Shavings

    For those who use pine shavings in their coops and do not deep litter - what do you do with your pine shavings when you clean? I am looking for other uses. I used some for mulch for my blueberries bushes. Thank you.

    Hawk Experts

    Here is the visual scenario: The hens have their coop - a converted shed, a large covered run, and a long chunnel - all in the backyard. The roosters (2), have their coop and a small run. Fences for the runs are touching so they can see each other. When I let the hens in the chunnel, I let...

    Chickens are Smart

    I am starting this thread to share stories about how smart chickens are. I will begin: I have 9-hen and 2-roosters. The roosters are in their own bachelor pad. Because I work at home, I have some flexibility regarding when to go clean the coop, clean feeders and waterers, and refill...
