    Original flock still not taking to new additions

    Hello there- We have 5 cinnamon queens. They are a little over a year old. We recently added partridge rocks/bard rocks to the flock. They have been in the same run as the original girls, but confined to our old coop so they aren’t roaming around with the original girls in the run. It’s been a...

    Too cold?

    Hello- We have a few new additions to our flock- some Partridge Rock and Bard Rocks. Some are young-a couple months old. They are in our old, smaller coop until our original girls have acclimated to them. They are still in the same run, but different coops and separate for the time being...

    Bumblefoot

    So one of our girls has bumblefoot on both feet. We worked on the worse foot tonight. I got as much of the gunk out as I could, but I felt awful because it was not easy. She seemed to not really mind. Anyways- we got as much out, used the Vetericyn spray and I did put some neosporin on the gauze...

    Molting?

    So we got our girls last April. They have all started to molt, probably around August or so, but one seems to be molting really hard. When the weather began to change, we had about a week no eggs, then slowly got to two or so and now we are back up to 4 a day. The one that is molting really bad...

    Milorganite on Lawn

I was planning on using it before we even got chickens because we have a dog and children. Then the chickens arrived. We let the girls...

    Milorganite

    I’ve been trying to take better care of my lawn and I want the throw milorganite down. We let our girls roam free in the back yard. Is this safe for use with chickens? I can’t really find anything online. Thanks!

    Simple Green

    I have a fenced off area for our dog to do his business. I use simple green regularly to spray to keep any odors at bay. It is regularly cleaned, but obviously urine soaks into the ground. I usually spray at night when it’s coolest out so it’s dry in the morning. Just curious if this is safe as...

    Soft eggs??

    Our girls have been laying for about a week. All 5 are laying. The last to start laying gave us a wonky egg a few days ago- super small and not a perfectly smooth shell, there was a big ol bump on the side.we think it’s her because she had an injury and I think it effected egg laying. Not sure...

    Dog got hold of one of our hens-skin tore

    We let our girls out for the first time today in the back yard. Our dog was pretty relaxed with them. One of our hens is super friendly so my husband picked her up to bring over to the sun. Our dog got excited and jumped up and managed to pull some feathers out. At first we didn’t think anything...
