    Sour/Impacted crop help

    My hen has had a very large pouch on her crop for a couple of months. She doesn't eat anything, but drinks a lot. At first I thought it was cocci, so I gave her Corrid in her water, but that didn't help. I then noticed her large pouch and realized it was her crop. I have given her strictly ACV...

    Riboflavin feed and treat suggestions?

    I have an 8 month old hen who has been limping for about 4 months. She can move her leg, but not her toes. Her toes are not curled. Already checked for humblefoot, scaly leg mites, sores, etc. I even gave her legs an epsom salt bath just in case, and also applied vaseline and anti fungal...

    Grandpa's Feeder (and other feeder recommendations)

    I've been eyeing the Grandpa's Feeder after all the rave reviews on Youtube and other places, but I'm wondering if this feeder will repel bugs, especially ants. If this feeder does not repel bugs, does anyone have any suggestions on one that does? I am basically looking for a mouse-proof and...

    Ideas for washable/reusable chicken bedding for nesting box?

    I've seen reviews on Youtube for various types of reusable bedding for nesting boxes (like nesting pads), but, seeing them, they look so flimsy and thin, I feel like my hens would not use them because they're not soft enough like a nest. I was thinking about fake grass, but I'm afraid they will...

    Coop Light Suggestion?

    I recently moved my chicks to the outside coop (Eglu Cube). It has only been 2 days, but they still do not know how to go back to the coop before dusk. I have been manually putting them back in the coop. I would like to try putting a light in the coop and hopefully that would help. I am looking...

    Raising chicks in the garage

    I stopped using the heat lamp and my 4-week old chicks now huddle/sleep under the brooder instead. Since there is no more heat lamp, there is no more constant light 24/7, so they now get the natural light that comes through the garage instead. Will this help them get accustomed to the day/night...

    Chickens and the color red

    It's a bit of a curious question. I'm wondering, if chickens are attracted to the color red, why do they not spend all day every day pecking at each other's red/reddish combs and waddles? Wouldn't it look like blood to them? Or are they able to discern that from other red things?

    At what age should you move chicks to the coop?

    My 12-day old RiR hen chicks are already almost able to fly out of their brooder. They can already perch on top of their waterer and the brooder plate. I use a big 40-gallon tub as their brooder. I'm afraid they will become too big and flighty for the brooder soon. But I feel like they are still...

    Omlet Eglu Cube with 5 standard size hens

    Any Eglu owners here? I recently purchased the Eglu Cube + 9ft run for my 5 standard-sized hens. I have heard ao many wonderful things about them, and the coops suit my needs perfectly since it is mobile. Has anyone here have any issues with 5 hens in a cube? I also live in a warm/humid...
