How long does it take to notice a change in a wormy chicken? i just wormed yesterday, anything to expect? thanks in advance.

Hey there, was wondering if you had any ideas of how to go about cutting your hens nails? i know it seems silly to ask as its probobly a pretty forward answer, but any tips/tricks? Thanks in advance!

So my flock is beginning to lose there feathers as the cold weather approaches, they are becoming a lot more mean to each other one of em is hiding on the perch as one of them keeps going after her. not sure separating them would do anything.its not that bad yet. any recommendations to keep them...

So its that time of year again where the mouse/rats come out. thankfully we dont have to worry about the big city NY rats (ew) but while i was picking the water up to change the chickens water there was a baby mouse underneath it burrowed. of course i screamed. my chickens were oblivious to him...

Im gonna try and make a cage somehow, i just need to know what to do.

So the hen i talked about a few weeks ago took a break from being broody.. but shes back at it again. its so weird, shes broody, but whenever she goes to get food and water she puffs up, and everyone pecks her im like that looks so odd oyu'd think she'd defend herself.

So because shes broody, her egg production has stopped temporarily, right? so i shouldnt expect any eggs from her? Yes, She was mothering a golf ball. crazy girl. lol. shes not mean at all she lets me get the eggs from under her (there not even hers which is the funny part. lol)

I live in a pretty rural area, a residential neighborhood and we get newsletters every month, i was just wondering how much would you charge for a dozen eggs, or even for 2 dozen? I have no job right now so money is getting tight. and chicken feed isnt the most expensive. currently im cleaning...

My friend has told me time and time again that you are able to cut the waddle of a chicken and it would grow back. only thing is i dont know if that is 100% true or not. and my stomach isnt the strongest so i know i couldnt do it.
