I read an article that cucumber seeds are a natural dewormer for chickens, I have been growing them for 2 years now and my girls are doing great. Also it keeps them hydrated in the Missouri summer heat.
My chicks are about 8 weeks old and I am wondering if someone can help me identify if they are pullets. I bought them as americauna pullets but I am doubting the two darker ones are girls. I posted multiple pics, there are 3 chicks. Please help..
We are not allowed to have chickens in our county so it is not possible for me to have a rooster. Unfortunately I have this really pretty olive egger chick in my mixes flock that is making me wonder. He/she has a larger comb for. 4 months but very rounded tail feathers do I was thinking fast...
She is a 5 lb Morkie. Almost 7 months old. I got her for my husband after his service dog passed away. She might be little but boy is she smart and she has character.
I have an olive egger which I am not sure the gender of. I thought I might be a cockerel looking at the comb but the rounded tail feathers I thought maybe a fast developing pullet. Please help! He/she is about 4 month old.
I should mention that we are not able to free range. Our ladies have a large run that is under construction right now since we are adding grass areas . We live in city limits. Also we have a larger mixed flock (we have 21 hens including sebrights, silkies, rocks, welsummers, rir, sex links, old...

I need advice please... I have a hen, americauna bantam that was very determined to be a momma so we snug chicks under her. She did well and raised them for 5 weeks now. I have them in a smaller coop in the run since the chicks were a day old. Now I have one of my silkies broody and I ordered...
I am not sure. I was thinking a light stain because the wood is so beautiful but I also found a great coop on pinterest that is painted Grey and purple that I am obsessed with. Maybe paint some purple and stain the gray?
i was wondering the same. I have a run hidden under my raised herb garden but since we also have a drip system connected to it the run is always muddy. What can I put down to keep it cleaner so my lil girls are not always covered in mud?
I bought them from Tractor Supply and the sign said Americaunas. I have been googling a lot and I think I have 2 roosters by looking at the tail feathers but I want to be sure before I give them away.
