My 30-week-old hen, was just out in the yard draining and the other chickens were following her around and all of a sudden she pushed out a soft-shelled egg. She walked away slowly and stopped and started straining again and the chickens again were following her and she pushed out another...

The last couple days my rooster has had a lot of poop hanging from his vent, I finally caught him and soaked them in a warm bath of Epsom salt and cleaned him up but his vent was dripping blood. I don't know what that is what caused it or what can I do

Ok thank you

Thank you

I got them at the end of February

I need to know how to tell males from females.

I went into the barn after work as always and I always count my chickens and roosters. I was missing someone? the rooster was not visible and that it strange, he is always front and center with the other rooster. I looked and found him under the coop which is about 3 feet off the ground inside...

So I went into the barn one day it was rather cold but not freezing temps, I saw one of my older chicks(2 years old) standing alone and she was all puffed out, i noticed her comb was very pale and the first thing i thought was that she was cold, so i wrapped her up in my jacket and carried her...

I got 8 chicks from tractor supply that were 98% guaranteed to be hens, I got 3 roosters and this one was one of them and tractor supply told me he was not a sikie because of his comb and color of his feet so I guess they do not know what they are talking about, thanks for your information. P.S...

Why is he not show quality? Just asking as i am new to this and I am not familiar with this breed.

Every one is telling me around here it is not a silkie because of his comb and the color of his feet and the texture of his feathers.

Does anyone know what breed of chicken this is? No one seems to know and i just went to the new York State fair and there were hundreds of roosters but none like this.

I do not have a picture of the sand i put down but it is under the roost and up to the feeding station from the window.

I live in central NY so it is very cold in the winter and this year it has been very hot and muggy. I have a poop pan under the roosting bars but who ever said they do most of their pooping at night does not know my hens they poop every where all day long. I do clean the coop every day. I...

No I think she is fine now, she lays jumbo eggs. I just hope I do not have to go through another egg bound hen any time soon.

So I heard that sand is great in the coop, my coop is 10x10 feet in the barn and off the ground by 2 and 1/2 feet. i was told to use all purpose sand not play sand so I did. I made a scoop out of a pitchfork and hardware wire, it totally did not work, i then got a big kitty litter scoop and...

I feed them layer pellets and I give them oyster shells and they free range from 2:30 till dusk, once in awhile I give them any veggie's I have left over.

Just want to say I am so grateful for joining back yard chicken club. i started raising chickens 18 months ago. i started with six and then my husband bought me 8 more for this last Easter. Out of the 8 I got 3 roosters which one I gave to a good home. After giving the rooster away thinking...
