    External Worms? Maggot looking things near my chickens butt?

    Turns out problem was not any kind of internal infection or illness. It was an animal attack. Found the offending critter attacking other chickens. Another hen got it pretty good. Some pretty nasty wounds. All the magots are cleaned out of the first hen. Externally she's looking much better...

    External Worms? Maggot looking things near my chickens butt?

    Washed, hydrogen peroxide, washed again, epson salt soak/clean, iodine just pored it all in there. I was expecting the a alien to leap out the back. There were more magots still. Got yogurt and put apple cider vinegar in the flock's water. There's so many magots. Couldn't have been more than...

    The Price Of Eggs, Whats A Fair Price

    Whatever someone is willing to pay. I charge 5/dz but the next person that gets on the list the price will be 6/dz. I don't know how many I could get rid of at 5/dz but it's way more than the ladies are producing that's for sure. I do zero advertising. I made a little website for fun and I've...

    Question on Free Ranging my Chickens

    It might be too much for the dog to resist and he'll learn to charge across the invisible fence line. I'd be much more worried about that than the chickens having a death wish. If the dog is barking and acting all agressive they'll stay away. If you do fence, don't put a cap on it. A visual...

    Not sure this goes here, but it might...

    Huh? Mine constantly eat grass. I'd call that grazing. I don't think they'd keep a field mowed, but they definitely eat grass.

    My kids got the biggest kick out of all the hens doing the squat yesterday. My youngest gave them all a pep talk about laying eggs this morning.

    Cobrooding - is this normal, and should I interfere?

    I've seen it in ducks and chickens quite often. They always found a hiding place though, it wasn't in a nesting box. It never seemed to be an issue.

    how much do you charge for your eggs?

    50c an egg, buy ten get two free. So that's $5 a doz. I'm in Tampa, Fl more or less. I have to get my gals laying more eggs as I know I'm losing customers. I tell people the eggs are 5/doz and that's a deal because I should be selling them for six. "Local Farmers markets are asking 6." Yes...

    Which type of small predator that fits thru a 1" gap did this?

    I'm keeping the chicks out of there at night. I've put them in, what's effectively a dog crate, with some food and water and will return them to the larger coup in the morning. Not sure how long I can keep this up, but at the very least some time for the bait to possibly work and/or to do an...

    Which type of small predator that fits thru a 1" gap did this?

    I think I had a rat attack last night. Raised many chicks in this coup never had a problem. Lost four of 8 last night and they were mangled. UGH. Rat was the only critter that came to mind but I never lost any to rats before so I wasn't sure if that was a possibility. Figured it'd show up...
