I know mine went through their first molt which started about four weeks ago. I still haven't seen any eggs since the molt started.......How long before they start laying again and is there anything I can do to prompt them back into laying...?

I read some threads on here about crop issues, but can't seem to find an answer right away. I went out this morning and found one of my girls who is almost 12 weeks laying limp next to the feeder. She now has a large lump in her lower chest area. She seems to be eating and drinking okay, but...

I've been getting a small white egg, a light to medium brown egg about once a day or every other day, but today I went out and found a medium brown egg with freckles on it. Could it be possible that the egg came from the same one laying the brown egg or is the freckled egg from a totally...

Has anyone tried modifying the top of the fountain so it can be filled without taking it off the heated base? I really like the waterer, but if it could be filled from the top it would be excellent. I thought about just cutting the top and putting some sort of makeshift hinge on it or would that...

i have at least one rooster and 5 other chickens, but no eggs yet. I am looking for a couple additional hens already laying.

I am leaning towards rooster on this one, but not sure on the breed? Any help appreciated. These are the two best photos I have right now.

I have several types available. Please email me if you are interested.

I bought and had shipped a 50lb bag of food grade DE. If you need some and live in the area contact me.

I haven't been placing food and water inside the coop at night. The only time they are in there is during dark hours and maybe a couple in the morning. Do they need food and water inside the coop? I put a dish of water in there tonight and am thinking about making a small food trough for inside...

I think a couple of my hens may have worms. I have seen some "runny poo" in the coop and around the run, but also some normal chicken poo! Any comments on this topic appreciated including the easiest method of treatment etc.! Thanks!

I have been using small guage wire and wrapping it through the chicken wire and then through the chainlink on the kennel frame. I have sometimes cut the chicken wire in spots and intertwined it into the chainlink. My fingers are about raw from the wire. Any other suggestions?

I thought I read some where that the cedar bedding chips were toxic to chickens. Does anyone have any insight on the topic? Should we be using pine chips/shavings instead of cedar chips/shavings? All help is appreciated!

We were doing some coop work and had the hens in a kennel for a day and I think one of them lost an eye. I would assume things like this happen as they establish the pecking order etc, but is it something I should be concerned about and render treatment to the hen? Thanks for any advice or...
