    Omlet = China

    If anyone can recommend a coop that: 1) has wheels 2) is plastic, metal, or aluminum 3) has a run with flared bottom to deter digging predators 4) reasonable price I'm all ears, please tell us, because I thought the Omlet Eglu "go UP" was that product. Unfortunately it is a British Unicorn...

    Salmonella and you

    Salmonella and you In simplest terms, we get this type of food poisoning from being unclean and eating small amounts of poo. It doesn't float in the air, we don't breath it in, we consume it with unwashed hands or non-cooked meat and dairy. My name is Aaron Rosenzweig. I'm the father in a...

    Ban all roosters!

    Great idea right? Ban all roosters so that people can raise hens without offending neighbors. It's a compromise but hey, we don't need roosters for eggs... great! WRONG All we really need is a clear ruling on noise nuisance that can be applied to all animals including dogs and chickens...

    Bone coming out of neck of chicken?

    This is a new development. Looked at the neck of this chicken yesterday and didn't see anything. Today we see a skin sack with something hard in it at the base of the neck. Is it a bone growing? Or maybe... could it be an in-grown feather? Any advice appreciated. Photo attached. Thank you

    Don't fear feeding eggs to chicks

    I had a mental aversion to feeding eggs to chicks. Some people say to hard boil them and crumble the yolk to feed them. Other people say you can scramble them and add some olive oil. Either way... I refrained from doing it until today... I wish I had tried this earlier. In my mind it felt...

We lack experience to know if this is a normal part of the developing process or if something else is going on. Maybe a small paper cut from her box? A peck from another 4 wk old chick? What does it look like...
