    Lost a hen today, white leghorn, sudden and no explanation :(

    Today while I was at work, my mom noticed my one leghorn was walking a very different. Almost like she was "scooting" around, almost walking on her knees... With her whole body stretched out parallel to the ground. Walking slowly. Within a few hours she found her behind the coop, and there was...

    How much DE to use?

    I just received my 10lbs of DE to use in the coop, and was wondering how much of this stuff to really use? I sprayed a decent layer over the entire run (sand and dirt) and lightly blended it in with a rake. I then added another light layer on top and lightly worked that in as well. But I am not...

    White leghorn sick today, won't eat or drink... No energy

    I was wondering what I may be able to do to help out our sick leghorn hen... Today she is totally out of it, not eating or drinking and very weak.

    When to place the dummy eggs?

    Hey there everybody, I was just wondering when a good time would be to place our fake, ceramic eggs in the nesting boxes for our 7 and 9 week old pullets? What age is good to show them where to plop those eggs? Thanks!!

    OK to remove the head lamp, for good?

    Hey there! My chickens have been outside for the past two or three weeks... Two of them are around 6-7 weeks, the other two 9-10 weeks of age (white leghorn and red sex links). They are fully feathered, but at night I would put on the heat lamp in the coop where they sleep at night. Should I be...

    Chickens enjoying the great outdoors!

    Have a few pictures from the other day... Our four pullets (two red sex link and two white leghorns) love eating all the grass in sight, and the white leghorns are the bug eaters by far. The one will run up to you when you have a shovel and await you to turn that dirt so she can grab some fresh...

    They all moved out today!

    Today I moved my four pullets out to the coop... Finally finished doing all I wanted with the coop, as far as protection goes... They should be very safe from anything!

    Breed and Sex if possible?

    I posted this a few weeks back but I guess it was too early to tell, so I was wondering if some of you experts can help out with the breed of my "red pullets" from TSC... I hope both appear to be female, both are very sweet and social. (Legally, we can only have hens as well, so I really hope...

    Best method to sex white leghorns?

    Hello everybody! We bought (6) White Leghorns (although we only needed two) and have to get rid of four of them. A buddy of mine has chickens and may take them from me, but I was wondering, I bought these as pullets from TSC... Are these breeds easily sexed at the hatchery? Like the sex-links...

    Hello! Please help me sex my two "production reds"

    Hello everybody, Our "Production Red" pullets from TSC are getting a bit older, and want to see if we indeed got pullets... No roosters allowed here in cleveland... Also, are these the same breed? I know the image is difficult due to the red heat-lamp lighting, but one has more "speckle"...
