    Proud Chicken Mama Moment

    On this frigid Saturday I have a predator story that ended in pure joy, thanks be to God! I live in a neighborhood setting and have a fenced in yard a lot of tree cover. I had an auto door (which will be deactivated for now) on my run so the girls can roam in the morning we’ve had no issues. My...

    Appropriate Hospital Set Up?

    Would this be an appropriate recovery coop? I know it’s a rabbit hutch and I would make small modifications if need be. I have a hen that we are going on a week of battling sour/impacted crop (I’ve never dealt with it before) And I hate having her in my garage as she isn’t around the other girls...

    Impacted Crop turned Sour?

    I’ve had my flock about 2 years and have never experienced an impacted or sour crop before. I noticed my Speckled Sussex Frittata was moving very slowly one day when I was putting everyone back in the coop. She was doing her own thing and felt her chest and realized it was rock hard… I separated...

    Back with update photos, what are we thinking now?

    I posted pictures when my flock was 4 weeks old and I am unable to update that post so here I am creating another. I have updated photos and the group is now 8 and half weeks old and I am intrigued to see what people think they are!!! If you think someone needs a better photo let me know :)

    Feed recommendations?

    When I got my chicks my local feed store and Blue Seal Multi-flock starter and I’ve been feeding my pullets that, the feeding instructions say that after 8 weeks you should switch layer pullets to a grower feed. Most other feeds are starter/grower and im looking for recommendations of a feed to...

    It’s already started…

    My flock has only been outside for 2 days they are 6 weeks old and a falcon or something smaller than a hawk is already lurking around… how do I help keep it away so it stops harassing them. It can’t get to them but definitely insights panic and some injuries have occurred. I have attached a...

    Give me your educated guesses :)

    I have 8 chicks, all of them are 4 weeks old. I originally ordered 6 but the hatchery sent me 2 extras. However, I do believe I did not get all pullets as requested (I do know sexing is not 100%) I have attached 2 photos of each and I would love to hear what you all think they are. Below are my...

    Chick seems behind, how can I help?

    Hello, I have a flock of 8 all hatched the same day, one of my chicks the black australorp is not nearly as feathered as the rest. Is there anything I can do to help her or does she most likely have a genetic issue and will die? She seems perfectly healthy and I haven’t seen anyone bully her...

    Build Immunity to Coccidiosis

    My 8 lovely ladies seem to be happy and healthy. They are now 2 weeks old and I would like to start building immunity to coccidiosis. I have read that some people bring dirt from their yard into the brooder. My question is do I just bring in a little bit of dirt or a patch of grass, and should I...

    Which is which? 😩

    I ordered 1 speckled Sussex and 1 Welsummer. They sent me an extra so now I have 3 chicks that look a like when I didn’t even know which one was which in the first place lol… I’ve done research but from what I can see they are giving off vibes of either and I’m at a loss. Did a little photoshoot...

    To ventilate more or not to ventilate more?

    I am been making some adjustments to my coop and I’m wondering if I need to add a little more ventilation. I have upper cross ventilation if you can see in the photos, then I have a window that opens on the door. Should I put some type of vent across from the door? Or is it good the way it is?
