@fangaddict I recommend a veterinarian asap.

I think the fecal float test is a great idea. And it will put your mind to rest about parasites at least. Make sure a trained/experienced technician reads the slide, as cocci can get overlooked at times. Good luck!

I've learned that purchasing a pre-made coop is a bad idea. I didn't get the Eglu Cube but I bought a red barn premade coop that I came to hate. I've had a lot of cosmetic issues with it as well. It actually costs less to build or have someone build you a coop if you purchase the materials and...

Thank you everyone! :)

Cat: "Like the new hair style, Pete" (says sarcastically) Chick: "Whatevs George" (says grumpily)

Thank you Pyxis and Judy! That helps. I didn't buy any supplies yet or start building so I'm taking your advice. I'm clearly new to having backyard chickens. Thanks again! :D I also didn't order chicks yet..but there will be a total of 9. Not that it changes much of my plans.

Little one #1 looks like a golden laced polish. Little one #2 & 3 look something like a black frizzle cochin or mottled cochin. I can't tell the sex from the pics. And I would guess they are about 2 weeks old. Looks like they are just starting to get their feathers. Hope I helped some! They're...

I have a design plan for a 4'x 6' chicken coop with 10 nesting boxes and two roosting bars. (this does not include the run). Do you all think this is enough room for 10-12 hens? (not bantams). Input will be appreciated! Thank you!

Do you have a materials list for your coop? Id buy it off you. I absolutely love it! What are the dimensions of the coop itself? Great job! :)

EE are not broody. I wouldn't breed ee at all. You can find breed info at mypetchicken.com where they were purchased. As for showing, I'd find a breeder online who shows their chickens and purchase one of their chicks. I recommend some research first..especially for breeding. :)

Thank you very much drumstick diva! I wish I'd get one! Thank you kelsie!

Hi! I'm new on BYC but have read a lot on here. Everyone is so kind and informative. I have 3 hens that will be one year old in june. An Easter egger, a Rhode island red, and a barred rock. I wish I had more but can't afford a new coop yet. I'm a full time vet tech. I love my chickens! I also...

Hello! And congrats on your flock! All but the Easter Eggers are rare breeds. I have an Easter egger. She just started laying blue eggs a week ago. She's a bit timid. Easter eggers will lay either green, blue, or pink eggs. Color will not change once the first egg is laid. Marans lay brown eggs...
