    Help, our Silkies hate the egloo cube

    Is it this: https://www.omlet.us/shop/chicken_keeping/large_chicken_coop_eglu_cube/ ? I wonder about security as i think it would be able to be breached by many predators. I agree with above regarding floor. It also seems really pricy for what you've got. Maybe if you call the company they can...

    Opinions on DE Products for RUN/COOP: Fresh Coop vs Coop Recuperate

    Hi- We are finishing remodel/construction on the run (had to replace ALL the wire). Chicks are 4.5 weeks and will be moving outside soon. Any thoughts on using DE products Coop Recuperate versus Fresh Coop? Coop Recuperate is scented with lemongrass which seems nice, and the Fresh Coop is...

    What's the line between aggressive bully and pecking order?

They were all getting some additional egg bc I'm supplementing my little one's diet with it still and she likes to have a friend when she is out of the brooder eating, so they rotate...

    What's the line between aggressive bully and pecking order?

    Hi- All 9 chicks hatched week of May 10th. One of the australorps is a bully and is pulling out the chicks feathers that are growing in and eating them. She's relentless and they all seem a bit scared of her. Is this normal part of establishing pecking order? Maybe she needs something else in...

    I have a few chicks I'm worried about... New chickie mom any help would be great.

    I'm so sorry you lost your little one. How many days left on the CORID treatment and what are you giving them currently? Maybe someone can give some more advice on next step for your other chick.

    Successful 100% forage diet experiment (long post)

    Good read. I am jealous of your 50 acres. I'd love to do this. I've always wondered if "meat bird" chicks that were bred to grow super fast would live a relatively normal life if given this type of setting. I'm sure this has been said in the 18 pages I've yet to read, but I want to share my...

    Stubborn will to live!

    How sweet! Can you take another one or two from the mother and bring them in to snuggle with him. Maybe feed him egg?

    ADVICE NEEDED: Baby not thriving, lethargic

    This was really good advice. The chick is improving. She's acting like a normal chick, but gets tired easily and sleeps a lot. Still a massive improvement and I am hopeful she's turned a corner.
