What if hen stopped laying for nearly 2 yrs, but has recently started laying again? Have hen (7y/o) who recently, (last math) began laying again. Have never heard of that, being most put their hens down, butcher, cull, whatever one wants to call it, when they stop laying.
Any ideas on what’s...
Can fashion chicken wire around potted plants. Doesn’t really affect visual aesthetics of plants, but is a chicken life saver here.
I also put their replaced bedding + kitchen scraps out (away from house) and they turn it daily. I rake up into pile once or twice weekly. Makes great compost, in...
Curious if I can use Cyclosporine on a chicken’s infected eye? Tried a search, but could not find anything on backyard chicken’s site.

Oh, the reason I asked is because she's had watery poo last night and this morn. I didn't know if that's what she may have and/or if it's contagious. That was reason I was asking about dosing entire flock.

I've got one possibly 1 1/2 y/o. I thought was molting, who kept laying in sunny areas, but still felt cold. Upon closer inspection, thinking new rooster's reason for feather loss. She's been quite...
I've got one I thought was molting, seeing she kept laying in sunny areas, but still felt cold. Upon closer inspection, thinking new rooster's reason for feather loss. She's been quite docile last 4 days. Not roaming around w/others and avoiding him anyway possible.
Brought her in yesterday morn...
