12x4 is the run i think... the coop is probably 4x6 maybe. i let them out daily or every other day for about an hour or so. they have unlimited layer feed and they just get scraps sometimes, usually veggies, bread, fruit. no they do not eat feathers. not sure protein on food, its dumor 18%...

I’d say this has been happening about a little over a week... but this has happened once before a month ago. our coop/run is pretty big, i am not home right now but it measure over 12x4. they eat layer feed and kitchen scraps for the most part

my 3 barred rocks have teamed up against one of my rhode island reds. the other RIR sometimes defends her and sometimes doesn't. she is also the only one molting right now and had a minor stomach problem that was resolved by me unblocking her system about a month ago. i have another flock of...

I feed them layer feed... they are barred rocks and rhode island reds. No illnesses and for a few months. They are pretty low stress hens.

So I usually find at least one or two eggs broken... yolk everywhere! They usually don't break all them and sometimes they don't break any... any suggestions??? Also, their egg shells are very thin. I picked one up and it broke in my hand. I mixed the oyster shell in their food and have...

the two new hens are in a make-shift container coop thing in our garden... and the coop and garden are fairly close to each other i live in Western PA

This is not the best picture.... this was from before it was finished. To give a size estimate, the coop, if i were to guess is about 4 by a little over 6 ish. and the run is about 12 by 6 ish. Like i said, not sure but thats my estimate. (The picture definitely makes it look smaller than it is)

The coop we made, diy style, is large enough for about 9 hens to have 3sq. ft. in the run. My hens are going be 2 in april and i am not sure about the two new ones, maybe 1 or just a few months. Both groups are full grown though. I don't know the dimensions right now, so i will try to get...

The 2 new hens are currently in a separate coop and I want them to be able to share coops and runs so I don't have to worry about double the mess and labor, especially because winter where i live is rough!!!!

I am pet sitting these hens and they were being abused by the other hens. So, I have them at my house now and we are going to keep them, yes the owner said it was okay. The other hens were plucking their feathers until they bleed. I currently have 5 hens, and I need to know how I can...

Hello! I was thinking about raising some mealworm. I was wondering... Can I keep them outside? What do I feed them? How many is the minimum? What should I keep them in? Other stuff I should know?

Can I keep mealworms outside near the coop? (Away from their beaks):D

She is feeling a lot better. Thank you for your help!!!:clap:hugs:love:celebrate:thumbsup

Thank you! I'll keep an eye on her. I don't usually give them meal worms BTW. I hope she is okay!:fl

I think her crop is smaller than normal, but I'm not sure because these are my first chickens and I've never really needed to feel her crop. My fatter hen's is bigger but I think it is because she is fatter

her crop is squishy

She also doesn't like to be held and usually flaps but she didn't flap at all.

She is about 1 year 2 months, they have acess to food and water all the time and she has plenty to eat and drink. She also had plenty while I was gone. I feed them layer food, grit, oyster shell, dried meal worms, and grass/weeds.

My hen, Luna, is usually kinda shy, but we just got home from a weekend trip and I think she is sick. Her comb seems a little floppy and she isn't eating as much grass and weeds as she normally does. Suggestions? Please, I'm freaking out!
