    HELP HER TOE!

    Yeah... I never noticed it until now, now that she's much bigger. As I'm looking back on older photos I notice it.

    Black dots on Rooster

    Is my Bantam Rooster okay? He has black dots on his crown and waddle. It looks like black scabs maybe? Maybe sure it isn't fowl pox!

    HELP HER TOE!

    Today I noticed something weird with my hens foot. She walks fine, runs, and also roost fine. However, her toe is definitely broke... so it looks! Any ideas on what to do? Pictures below!

    ADDED A GIANT BIRD.

    Hey guys!! I've had my eye on a light Brahma for awhile now and was FINALLY able to purchase one. It is a pullet that's 4 months old. Not fond of people just yet... the people caught it with a net which freaked me out. My flock of 6 is very very friendly. Any recommendations to get this girl...

    WATERMELON SEEDS

    Trying to beat this Georgia heat, so I made my chickens watermelon treats. :) I wanted to triple check that the seeds won't hurt them to eat? I've frozen them, cut up in ice cube trays and even froze the skin of the watermelon.

    Chicken Run-- what's in it?

    I have grass in it now.. but before long it'll just be dirt. What do you guys put in your chicken run? In best boxes I put hay. I put pine shavings in the coop. But what in the whole run? It's a 18x18.

    CAN MY HENS LAY INDOORS?

    I have them in a room with a sliding glass door, all lights on and curtains open. So I'm hoping that'll work. They'll only be inside for a couple weeks to make sure they are 100% well before letting them with the rest of my flock.

    CAN MY HENS LAY INDOORS?

    CAN MY HENS LAY INDOORS?

    Seems like a crazy question! I have two silkie hens (at laying age) that I just purchased. Planning to add them to my flock after keeping them indoors for a couple weeks or so. They are in a huge dog crate (Great Dane size/ the biggest dog crate they make) I have a container in it with pine...

    Trough or automatic feeders??

    My chickens are in a 18x18 run.. the left over food is attracting a insane amount of bugs. = wasted food! Moisture gets in it through the night, mud, and even rain that somehow blows into the food. What are thoughts on troughs? Or maybe throwing food in a bowl type thing for them to eat out...

    Coop at night! Close door?

    Thank you!! I wasn't sure since the coop us it's own attached run with hardware wire. They are up the ladder in they coop, but didn't know to close that door to keep them completely inside.

    ROACHES, HELP

    Thanks! I need to. Fresh bedding and everything's cleaned with white vinegar. But the roaches are on the outside of the run all over. They sure need to eat them!

    Coop at night! Close door?

    I have a coop inside a chicken run. (Two of them actually) Should I close the coop doors at night if the runs that are attached to the coop are locked shut? See photos.

    ROACHES, HELP

    My chicken run is covered. Excuse me, covered, infested, etc... that's a understatement. At first it was too many flys- got fly traps. My fiancé wants a chemical safe for the chickens to spray on the ground to kill them. I won't allow, being dangerous for chickens. Any recommendations?

    Can my silkies live in this coop?

    This is very true!! I just want them out of the dog kennel (the introduction crate) and in a "home"! Sad they didn't get along with the big hens, but didn't want to put my fragile silkies in danger. Not fair. So they'll need their own "home".

    Can my silkies live in this coop?

    Very pricey! I'm getting it used off a local chicken site for $75! I'll let them out in the big run when the others are put up. But if for some reason I'm not able to let them out, I want to make sure they are okay in that. The max is 4 standard chicks in this coop. So hoping with just four...
