    Scary egg-eater has called my bluff

    Hi all, One of my RIRs is an inveterate egg eater, and I’m starting to lose a lot of eggs to her, so on Sunday I tried the dish-soap-in-an-eggshell trick. The eggshell is GONE, there is no sign of it or the soap anywhere in the coop, I can’t smell dish soap anywhere, and all of the chickens...

    What should I do about inflamed ear?

    Hi all, Just noticed this on my smallest Rhode Island Red (smallest of the flock, but I haven't noticed her getting bullied specifically). Do I need to do anything with this or should I let it heal up on its own? She's acting normally as far as I can tell, occasionally shaking her head but...

    Diarrhea and sneezing?

    Hi all, sorry to keep spamming questions, but I can’t find any past posts that are quite what I’m seeing and you’ve all been so helpful. I don’t know how many of these things are related, so I’m just going to list everything. It’s been rainy so about a week ago, under their rain enclosure in...

    Rooster…?

    Hi all, I’d love your opinions on whether I have a rooster on my hands…the “girls” are 2 months old this week, and this one’s wattle and comb are getting red faster than most of the other Rocks (and much faster than any of the Reds). Do I have a rooster? 😱 thanks!!

    Chicks kicking bedding into feeder, waterer...

    Hello all! So my chicks (6 BPRs, 4 RIRs) are now 5 weeks old -- yay! It's still pretty cold where I live, so they're not going outside full-time for a couple of weeks yet, but their run is built and the coop is ready for them. I'm having issues with feeding, though. They're eating really well...

    Pasty butt, 1 week

    Hi all, I am brand new to this and have 4 Rhode Island Reds, 6 Plymouth Rocks that are a week old today (yay!). The RIRs have been fine since Day 1, they’re pretty relaxed, chubby, and their wings already have a lot of feathers. The Rocks are…high-strung? And 2-3 of them have had pasty butt...

    Hi all!

    Hi all, First I want to say thank you all so much — this site has been a lifesaver already for me taking care of our new chicks! Here’s my intro: (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yup, first time chick mom over here 😳 (2) How many chickens do you have right now...
