Hi! You are very close to me! My parents and brother and sister both live in Springville. Hope you are staying warm!!! Any tips on keeping water from freezing?

Hi everyone! I'm in Remlap, AL....new to chickens anyone in my neck of the woods?

They are about about 6 months old or so with some maybe being a few weeks older or younger. Out of 10 hens, I get anywhere from 2 to 5 eggs a day right now....it has cooled off considerably here. Well, for Alabama anyway. I am feeding laying pellets to all of them. I'm guilty of giving...

ok, I'm new to chickens...this is my first "year", actually only since July. As a newbie, I'm afraid that I have spoiled them with treats. I've noticed that they look thinner so I've backed off on all the scratch and corn and such. So, now they haven't been eating their real food, so I have...

Yes. The lighting is horrible. I will look tonight and get better pictures. They have a little white bump at the very end of their bottoms. Thank you!

Okay so about two weeks ago I added a Jubilee and blue Orpington to my mixed flock. They were picked on in the beginning but are fitting in well now. I was told they get their feathers from head and then bottom last. They both still have little stumps but no feathers on their bottoms. When...

Just checking in.....is she doing ok? I hope so....

Okay, So I have no way to store my feed in my run or coop. So my husband and I had a refrigerator that no longer worked. We set it up and the back of the house (out of sight) and turned it on to its back so that it sits like a deep freezer. I have put my feed in the refrigerator part and the...

You are awesome! Thank you so much!!

Thank you....I do have pine shavings in the coop, but the run is dirt...used to have grass, but they trampled that. Unfortunately, due to the predators in our area, I am unable to allow them to free range. I usually throw out some BOSS occasionally as well as some of their layer pellets...

I have a 25 x 25 run that is covered with avian netting. The same setup as where I purchased them. The coop is 5 x 12. I have 11 hens. I live in a remote area on 12 acres and it is very quiet with no outside stressors. I placed the newbies in a dog cage within the coop for several days...

Thank you so much!

Need Suggestions Please!! I have two new Orpingtons that I introduced about 10 days ago. Everything is going pretty well, however, they have yet to get their tail feathers and there is a lot of butt pecking going on. I have applied antibiotic ointment and sprayed with bluekote to cover their...

Thank you for the advice! I am so new at this!!! I did wait several days before I did anything....I should have taken her to the vet.....I still am kicking myself for not doing that in the first place. I miss her. My sweet husband buried her and even made a headstone for her (and me). I am...

Yes, you are right. I am new to chickens and learning so much. I knew I needed to do it but with it being my first, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I know though that I am going to have to do it if it happens again as you are right, I need to know. I can't thank everyone enough for...

Thank you so much! I'm going to that link right now! She was so sweet and it truly just broke my heart!!

I have been doctoring my Brahma for several days. I think she was egg bound. Her vent was hard as a rock. I applied lubrication and massaged gently and she seemed to feel better. But she continued to mope and lay around and finally tried to gently turn what I thought was an egg that was...

Thank you! I can't wait to get one now! Or two! Lol!

Awesome. I really like her and I've already gotten 10 other hens from her that are very nice and am pleased with them. Just new to chickens and still learning! You guys are awesome for advice!!

I have someone that has offered a Jubilee Orpington and a Black Orpington. The Jubilee is a juvenile and she is asking about $60.....does this price sound right or on the high side? thanks!!!
