Hi friends I have someone sneezing chickens, first time chicken owner and I'm so worried about my babies. They started sneezing last week so I added some water addative and they seemed to be doing a little better. Today I realized my copper maran Salsa has bubbles in her eyeball, everything I...
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I live in Bakersfield and have 2 boys that have started crowing. Master Cheif is an Easter Egger and Eggroll is a Hamburg. I would love to trade them for a hen and/or assurance that they will not become chicken nuggets. They're around 2...
I built my coop and run back in February and I have 13 beautiful babies. I elected to go with hemp for the coop as I am doing the deep litter method and sand for the run. I did a lot of research but for some reason I hate the sand 😭 I'm in central CA and it gets HOT in the summer and I heard...

Good morning! I live in central valley CA and I recently brought home 3 silkies that are one week old now. I recently finished their coop and was just wondering at what age can I start taking them outside and at what age should they move outside permanently? It's pretty warm here already LOW 38...
