    Is this from depluming mites?

    My Rhode Island Red never seemed to recover from molting last fall. For a while I thought she was just taking a long time, and then maybe she was getting pecked, although I never see it happening. I’ve checked several times all over and haven’t ever seen any mites on her. I ran across...

    Black Sex Link Stopped Laying After 1 Year

    I have a black sex link that was one of my most reliable layers all last spring into summer (her first laying season) but when it got really hot around late August she stopped laying. I figured that was normal heading into fall but she still hasn’t started up again going into May. I thought...

    10 Week Old Easter Egger ID

    I know Easter Eggers are supposedly hard to ID but thought I’d get your opinions at 10 weeks. Based only on combs I’d say A and B are pullets and C and D are cockerels. Thoughts?

    How long is it okay for a hen to be broody?

    I have an Easter Egger that has been broody about 28 days. I assumed (my first time dealing with this) that after about this amount of time she would give up but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I take her out into the yard about once a day to be with the flock and she’ll graze and drink water...

    First time dealing with injury

    Any advice welcome here. I saw this morning one of our chickens has a wound on her head. I assume I should put Neosporin or Blue Kote on it but we are leaving town in two days for a long weekend. I don’t know if separation is realistic since we are leaving. By the way we have 5 hens in our flock...

    Hole in egg- safe to eat?

    This seems like it would be a frequent question but I haven’t found it exactly. Sorry if so… Four chickens laid in the same box this morning before I could go collect eggs. I think someone stepped on (or pecked) one but not through the membrane because nothing comes out when I tip it over. Is...

    Stray Chicken

    The past several days there has been a stray (I assume barred rock) hanging around my coop on the other side of the neighbors fence obviously checking out my chickens. I know the neighbors don’t have chickens so I don’t know where it came from but I’m wondering if I should take it in. I’ve...

    Bug ID

    Can anyone ID these bugs? It may not be related to my chickens but every time I go out to the coop the last couple of days I come back with a few on my ankles or back of my neck so I assume they are getting on the chickens as well. Thanks for any help!

    Coop and Cold

    Hello. This is my first fall/ winter season with chickens. We have freezing temperatures expected the next three nights where I am in Georgia. I am attaching a photo looking at the coop from outside the run, through the run, into the coop through a large opening with hardware cloth. The...

    Introducing New Pullet not Vaccinated

    Hello. I am pretty new to this. I purchased day old chicks from a hatchery that were vaccinated for Mareks and Coccidiosis and have been raising them for 12 weeks now. I’d like to buy another pullet from a local place nearby that vaccinates for Mareks only. I have two questions. 1. Might I...

    Whiting True Blue - Hopefully not a rooster!

    Hello. I’m a first time poster and new to chicken keeping, so sorry if this seems obvious to others. I have been raising four chicks that were sexed as females from Murray McMurray. They are eight weeks now. One of them is a Whiting True Blue. She’s our favorite and I’m hoping she really is a...
