    Motion Sensor Light

    I just wanted to make this thread to share a story! Also I’m curious if anyone else has had this issue with their flocks and wonder if this might help them. I’ve always had trouble with getting my girls to sleep on the roost. I understood my chickens issues with the last coop, as it was a...

    Do you keep eggs that were in freezing temps?

    I always thought eggs that froze had to be discarded because they had hairline cracks. But it just dawned on me that some people don’t live in Texas😂 Surely people who live in cold climate don’t trash all their eggs. I got two eggs today that are super cold, it has been in the teens today. Can I...

    Horse bedding pellets

    I am think about switching to this bedding and wondered what people thought. My main concern is that the chickens will eat them (I know chickens are going to taste any bedding, I mean eat a lot of it) they look a lot like pelleted chicken food, so that makes me wonder if they would confuse them...

    Chicken catching food

    My Brahma, Boots, could catch treats in midair. I thought it was cool, but nobody I knew did, but they don’t have chickens. I was wondering if people who have chickens would appreciate it😂

    Chicken waterer

    I’m planning on buying these two and making a waterer and just wanted to make sure it looked good. My main concern is the nipples leaking...

    Coop camera

    I was wondering what camera would be best. I want one that connects to my phone, has good night vision, under $50 (preferably), and if this isn’t too much to ask (I don’t know anything about outdoor cameras) one that records continuously without a subscription. I’m thinking one that has an sd...

    What Breed?

    This hen is no longer alive. I had her a while ago. She was labeled as a Buff Orpington, and she obviously was not. I always wondered what she was, either a mix or maybe ISA Brown or Golden Sexlink? Are those two the same thing? It finally dawned on me that I could just ask, instead of...

    What color shoes do you see?

    This picture sparked much debate in my family over what color we all saw. It was between brown or pink/purple. There is no reaching an agreement among the two sides, we do NOT have any idea how the other people could see the other color. It is pretty hilarious, and I wondered what colors...

    Will honey cure digestive system infection?

    I have a 3 year old Easter Egger, who had a digestive system infection in June of 2023. I gave her bovine penicillin and it was cleared up within a few days. I’m afraid she has the same thing again. I can’t really put my finger on what’s wrong with her, other than she’s just not acting like...

    Chicken stretching neck and opening her mouth really wide.

    I have seen this before in my chickens numerous times. I know it might be her rearranging her crop contents. I just noticed her doing it repetitively for a good minute or two. I was sure it was nothing to worry about, but just wanted to get some opinions! She is almost one year old (her birthday...

    Mold or yeast and fermented feed?

    The top stripe in the second picture is the feed under mold or yeast. It smells disgusting.

    Help with fermented feed

    I have been attempting to ferment my chickens feed for a while. At first, I thought I was doing it right, but then I saw a pic of someone else’s fermented feed, and it was WAY bubblier than mine. So I started leaving my feed to ferment longer, but it never looked like that before it molded. At...

    Is soy bad for chickens?

    I have been getting my chickens soy-free feed for several months, but I hate the option my feed store has for soy-free. It is SO dusty, and I have to sift through every scoop. I was wondering if I could just go back to my previous non soy-free feed?

    What is the difference between calcium citrate and calcium carbonate?

    I have both mentioned before, and wasn’t sure when to use one over the other.
