    Garden fertilizer (poo)???

    Not sure where to put this so trying here. I've been collecting droppings and sprinkling it on top of our garden boxes and then mixing it into the soil. Is this a good idea or will it be too hot when it comes time to plant our garden? Thanks for any info or tips.

    Droppings?

    One eye shut?

    Maybe I'm just a worried new chicken father but thought I'd ask since I've only had chickens for a couple months. I have a Barred Rock hen that is 20 weeks old and this morning I noticed she keeps one eye shut most of the time. It's not goopy or anything and works fine, she just keeps it...

    Droppings?

    Thank you for the information...I hope that was a cut and paste and you didn't have to type all that out. So, what I got is the hen has coccidiosis? Can she have it and not the other hen? And can she have it for several months? I thought it was a terminal illness if not treated? Also, I...

    Droppings?

    I have searched and read the topics on droppings but didn't find an answer...I have a hen that consistently drops heavy, wet and runny poo and I think that is all she ever drops and has been doing so for the 2+ months I've had her. Is this normal? My other hen has nice round normal looking...

    Freezing feed?

    What about using vacuum packed bags to store the extra? I have some large 2 gallon vac. bags that would probably hold 5 or more pounds each. I'm leaning towards doing that instead of freezing. Thoughts?

    Freezing feed?

    I have two hens and just bought a 50lb bag of feed. I just did some reading and it said one should use up an opened bag of feed within two weeks or it will get stale, like bread. A couple of questions, since there is no way my two birds will eat 50 pounds in two weeks would it be wise to pack...

    Is my chicken okay?

    Yes, the foot has always looked like that since we got her at age 10 weeks. From the reading I've been doing it sounds like poor nutrition when she was very young. Do you think her eggs will be okay? I'm feeding her Purina Start & Grow and believe the previous owner feed her the same. They...

    Is my chicken okay?

    Hello BYC, I'm very new to raising chickens, my boys (7 & 9) started right before Christmas (long story about how we got started but it's funny) and I'm wondering if this Leghorn is okay and why it's foot is like this. It's poo is a sticky brown diarrhea and not like our other chicken that...
