Oh my gosh, I can't be the only one who has been asked this. One of your friends comes along and asks, So, do you eat your chickens when they get old? ... DO I LOOK LIKE A CANNIBAL DO I LOOK EVIL WOULD EAT YOU DOG WOULD YOU EAT YOUR LITTLE COUSIN WHY WOULD I EAT MY PET WHEN I HAVE...

Thanks guys on your answers. Sorry about the bad quality, I took the photo from the mac and the chicken would just not stop moving! Hopefully it isn't mites, but I don't think it's frostbite it's been fairly warm around.

For the last few week, on one of my chickens, Soy, I noticed she had a few small spots on her comb. At first, I though it was fowl pox, then I saw that they were flat and seemed to be part of her skin. Now I don't think its pox. It could be mites, but my other chicken Honey doesn't have them...

Thanks guys. I thought about boredom too, but it's outside of the coop in the massive backyard too. What should I do?

Thanks guys. The run is about 3m x 1.5m and 2m high. The coop is elevated by 80cm and is half the size. They have 2 nesting boxes by only ever lay in one box. They are isa browns. We got them a few weeks since they started laying. They are actively laying. We are feeding them good quality layer...

I need some help with my predicament. A few months ago, I got 2 3 month old ISA brown hens. They are sweet little things. Unfortunately, one of them, the smaller one, has begun to badly peck and pluck the other. We have seperated them and that's been ok, but they can't sleep together. Now that...

It's weird, the other chicken hasn't done this at all. They're eating ok, drinking ok. She only stated laying a few weeks back. I have no idea of what's wrong

Yes btw it is the scratch mix you said.

It's got 2% fat and 10% protein. I'm not worried about calcium because the eggshells are nice and hard.

I've been reading the comments and suggestions, and I think I'm doing something wrong with my new chickens. I pick up a big bag or scratch mix from pet barn, yes I'm Australian. It's the WATSONS AND WILLIAMS SCRATCH FEED FOR CHICKENS one. It says it's complete dietary solution for my chickens...

Wait, it happened again. Is this normal, I'm thinking it could be because of dietary issues, but apart from, that maybe worms are the problem, I don't know, please help!

Hi Guys! Am I the only person on BYC who lives somewhere in NSW? I can t be, let's see! I have two Isa Browns which I got only a little while ago. The weather here has been hot, but is cool now. How 'bout you?

Thanks there! It's been hot the pass few day, I glad it's nothing bad.

I never knew chicken could pee, up until, today. My chicken, Honey, was hanging just outside the coop while I cleaned it. I turned around just to see her go, SLPAT! A jet of water squirted out of her butt. I know she drinks quite a bit, but really? What was it, and is it anything to worry about?

Wanna go frugal! I started making a crochet white elephant out of plarn. Yes PLARN. PLASTIC YARN. It works great, I'm gonna do a chicken next!

I just got chickens, soooo cute. One of them is nuts though.... ABSOLUTELY NUTS!!!!

Be wary went you put her back into the coop with the other, they may get tempremental with her.

9-8 yrs old! That's pretty good! Congratulation! What breed are they, and don't be surprised if some of them begin to pass on, you've don't well.

Ferret, foxes usually small animals that can sneak through small spaces in wire. If you live in North America, unlike myself, you could be getting plagued my raccoons. Seal up the top and bottom of your coop! Depending on your sera puts, the predators could be burrowing in from underneath.
