    February hatch-a-long 2018

    First time incubating here! Live in Colorado. Got the eggs from sea level so we'll see. The hatch suddenly means more than it did before, we lost our favorite easter egger today to a prolapsed vent. SUPER sad... I just found this hatch a long, so fun. We have 4 Chocolate easter eggers and 4...

    Copper Sulfate for chickens?

    Thank you so much for letting me know! I did buy some fish zole in case I need to go there. She’s not doing well at all. But I also have to say I don’t see any cankers in her mouth, so it’s a bit confusing... we live on the river and there are a lot of wild birds. I removed our feeders today and...

    will a hen cured of canker always carry the disease?

    HEy Jack, just curious as to what you ended up doing regarding your canker chicken? I'm dealing with one that I think has Canker and need it decide what to do...

    Why are my hens puffing up chests?! PLEASE

    I get that! Last winter I accidentally left the lights in the coop on all night and I paid for it for weeks! They were so pissed off and I felt awful!

    Why are my hens puffing up chests?! PLEASE

    Thanks, I’m in Gypsum Colorado, it’s 40 miles west of Vail, in a banana belt of sorts. No snow on the ground here right now and up to 55 degree days. I have started weening them off the light in the coop. I will continue to do that.

    Why are my hens puffing up chests?! PLEASE

    So sorry to hear of your coyote attack. That sounds awful. I'm not conviced there's nothing wrong with the non laying hens. Their sisters are laying in a different town, it's been super warm since fall, something seems off, but I can't put my finger on it. I've added light to the coop...

    Why are my hens puffing up chests?! PLEASE

    Ok, thanks! They seem lazy/lethargic, and not drinking much at all, but other than that they seem ok. I'll watch them closer tomorrow to see their poo... I haven't noticed any bloody or super weird poo inside the run.

    Why are my hens puffing up chests?! PLEASE

    Hey BYC lovers, looking for some advice! I'm wondering why 3 of my pullets (2 are 9 MONTHS OLD and NOT Laying yet, one is laying), are puffing up their chests. I thought it was just in the morning, but now I noticed a couple doing it this afternoon. It's not freezing, in fact today was...

    Layer feed???

    I know this was a while ago, but I have a similar question... I have 3 8-9 mo pullets that haven't started laying yet and 2 older hens that are laying. Can I switch the non laying hens to layer feed? This is confusing!
