    Review by 'Rodayan' in article 'Who is Laying.....and Who is Not? Butt Check!'

    I'm sure this is good information, but what if your hens are skittish and won't let you near? We let our broody hens hatch the chicks and they are "wild" and won't be handled.

    Neighbor using strobe lights at coop at 5 every morning... remodel fix ideas?

    <In addition to what has already been suggested, have a camera pointed at your coop - NOT your neighbor - and have it record when he flashes your coop for additional evidence. I would also still bring this up to the police so they have his bad behavior on file> Totally agree with this. Maybe...

    Please help! Bugs on baby chicks

    Diatomaceous Earth should work - the natural silica in the diatom shells irritates and in some cases pops the shell of the mites and lice and other insects. Make sure the chickens do not breathe it in, otherwise it is safe for them. Definitely treat the bedding and make sure they can have good...

    Looking for help with sexing - 8 weeks

    Hi there, I have 4 chicks at 8 weeks old. They are from a mixed flock. I think the white one (Houdini) might be from the blue Araucana egg though sadly I was away when they hatched and my husband didn't check. The black one (Spot) had a yellow spot on its head as a little chick. This one...

    What breed might this 6 week old chick be?

    That would be great. I know they do have EE’s. It’s growing a little slower than I expected which would perhaps agree with one of the bigger Heritage breeds. Oh I also just remembered, I think it was a pale brown egg. I was sad when the Araucana egg proved to be infertile.

    What breed might this 6 week old chick be?

    Hi all, got this chick from a set of eggs from a farm, hatched by my own broody hen. They have a lot of breeds of hen and also several roosters. As a result I have no idea who the culprits are. Any help with identifying breed? At 6 wks I’m not expecting to be able to sex it yet but… not...

    Bone spur on wing? Can't find any info on what this is

    Hi there, One of my chickens has a weird growth on her wing. She's had it for about a year now and it keeps getting bigger. At first it just looked like a fat lump covered in skin under the feathers, but now it has like bone growing out of it. She doesn't seem at all bothered by it, she was...

    Mixing Breeds in the Flock

    I also have a mixed breed flock: 4 mutts of Bantam, Silkie, and Sussex descent; they were originally the rulers of the roost above the 2 BRs but the BRs when they got larger climbed the ranks rapidly to hover around 2-4th position (the biggest Bantam x Sussex stayed on top: Prima). When one of...

    1 chook listless and not eating, 1 suddenly can't stand

    UPDATE: This morning discovered that Moppy is now pooping almost exclusively worms. Yurcgh. Maybe she decided in her little chooky way to fast in the hopes of purging them. However that sounds very good in terms of it may be her only problem which should be easily fixed and not as...

    1 chook listless and not eating, 1 suddenly can't stand

    Thanks for the response! Only learned about the lice very recently. we have dusted chooks with DE being careful to keep it away from their faces, installed a better dust bath for them, and have been researching external parasites treatments - a friend who is going to be a vet just told me...

    1 chook listless and not eating, 1 suddenly can't stand

    Hi all! Nice to finally join, hope for some comments on potential diagnosis. Now for the chicken sickness background. I had chooks as a girl and me and hubby decided to have some in our garden nearly 2 years ago. So we spent one summer building a chicken tractor (moveable coop) that we...
