    Questions about my new chickens

    Ok thank you for the article. But I’m moving to this house with my five hens, so how do I quarantine the 12 on the new lot from my hens? They’ve been all over the yard so I’m not sure that quarantine method will work, because I’m not bringing new chickens to me, I’m bringing my current flock to...

    Alright, makes sense! What kind of parasites do you think they could have, and how would I check for them?

    Questions about my new chickens

    Hi guys! I’m not sure if this is where i should be posting this, but better somewhere than nowhere lol. Ok so let me set this up real quick before I get into the questions. So I recently was given ownership of 12 chickens, including one rooster. I already have 5 hens of my own. Right now, the...

    Hens laying tiny eggs again?

    Hey guys! So my 5 hens will be 9 months old on the 11 this month (December) and I noticed something strange today when I went to collect eggs. There were only 2 eggs, which didn't surprise me since my one hen is molting and they hardly ever all lay in the same day. But what surprised me was the...

    Hens all laying in the same box

    Ok so I have 5 hens, all different breeds (except my two leghorn sisters) and no matter what I do, they ALL lay in the SAME nesting box! I have fake eggs in all my boxes, and yet they still only lay in one box. I even tried taking the bedding out of the one box to force them to use other boxes...

    Help/Questions about Bullying Hens

    There is a little blood shed on her comb, but not much. Tiny spots that scab over within a day. Is that bad?

    Help/Questions about Bullying Hens

    I have read a few articles on here already to help with bullying hens, but I have a specific question. I have two brown leghorns, and one of them (Bailey) has become very aggressive with my buff orpington. I'm almost certain that it's because they have too small of an enclosure (which I'm...

    Is my hen still broody?

    UPDATE: 9-12-17 I got 5 eggs today! I even caught Becky (the recovering broody leghorn) in the box! I'm happy because she gave me an egg again finally, but also for 5 eggs in one day, which has never happened before! I feel like a proud mother. :lol: :cool:

    Chicken Shenanigans (video)

    I made a video for my friends of my 5 hens a while ago, and I realized- I never posted it here! I'm currently editing another video for them (I need to record more clips though) so there will be more like this in the future lol

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I have 5 hens who will be 6 months old in a few days, and they've all started giving me eggs. Today I got 4 eggs! Normally I get 2, maybe 3, so I was pretty happy :)

    Is my hen still broody?

    Do you have any suggestions for what else to use to keep parasites away, aside from DE?

    Is my hen still broody?

    I bought them from my local feed store. She looks exactly like the brown leghorns I see in pictures on google: This is her when she started going broody (there's a filter on the image, so if it looks oddly blue, that's why!) about a month ago. She would hiss and puff up when I or my other...

    Is my hen still broody?

    I just recently broke my brown leghorn hen from her broodiness, but now she seems very distant and not as friendly as she used to be. :c She hasn't started laying again and she hasn't given any interest in the nesting boxes at all really. But she's eating, drinking, and running with my other...

    Hurricane Bug Out: What do do with chickens?

    I've gone and read the other articles for evacuating, thanks for pointing that out! I'm now trying to figure out how to evacuate them in a dog crate my pastors family has and a dog play pen we used when they were chicks. Can anyone tell me what items I would need to bring with me for my...

    Hurricane Bug Out: What do do with chickens?

    As far as I know, we don't have any fairgrounds or local farmers providing safe housing for livestock. Our plan is to come back 2 or 3 days after evacuating, because at this point where we live there will be little rain/water, mostly just wind. We're now talking about reinforcing the coop to...
