Is it dangerous for chickens to eat centipedes? I thought they were deadly? This was a red one, looked pretty scary but she just kept going at it like it was the most delicious thing, and now She keeps scratching at her beak

I have a small young black bantam cochin who now has a bald spot right on the top of her head. Either the rooster (also a black cochin bantam) is pulling them out when he's mating with her or the other 2, which are white silkie bantams, are pecking them out. She's much smaller than all the...

The ramp that leads up into the coop is covered with poop every day. I have no idea how to clean it. The material that it's made of is the shingle material that's on the roof, It's ruff and the little rocks or whatever they are come off when I try and scrub the poop off. How in the world am I...

I love my chickens more than anything. I raised them from a day old, was there for all their firsts, and watched them grow into beautiful little birds. They are my babies, my family. Now my dad got them so we could have eggs, that's pretty much it. He doesn't have any sort of emotional...

Whenever I let my 2 month old chickens graze in the yard, they eat a lot of wood and Dead Leaves, sticks, acorn shells just a lot of things I didn't think they would eat. Is this okay or normal?

My chickens are just now going out side but they are in our screened in porch. So it's not in the sun at all. It's still very hot out here in GA. They are non stop panting though. Do they just need time to adjust? Will they be ok? They have fresh water avail at all times. I even gave them a...

First off I should tell you that my chicks are now 2 months old and are still in the brooder. I know that's kind of old but we didnt do a good job of planning building the coop/run around our busy schedule. But any ways we have a small starter coop ready and would like to get them out there...

Hello! We have 2 Silkie Bantams and 2 Cochin Bantams, and they are 5 weeks old. We have built our chicken coop (pics below) but won't be able to build the run just yet. Looking at the picture of the coop, is there anything we need to do to make it safe against predators? Also there seems to be...

I have 2 white Silkie Bantam chicks and 2 black Cochin Bantam chicks (which are suppose to be frizzles, but I can't tell if they are:idunno) that I really need sexed. I am praying hard for AT LEAST 2 pullets! Maybe 1 of each?:fl I think the first 2 pictures of the Silkie is a Roo, because of...

My chicks are a week and 2 days old. I just now moved them from their small brooder to the big boy Brooder, was I too soon?? They aren't taking it well AT ALL. They are chirping and screaming. Should I put them back?? Pics below

This chicken showed up in or lives from out of no where. Was living on our property and we didn't mind. It was doing real good on it's own for months but last week it seems to have gotten hit by a car or something. Broken wing and broken leg. Because of this we were finally able to catch it and...

Not sure what kind, looks kind of like a barnavelder-or how ever you spell it, and not sure if male or female. This chicken just showed up on our property at our place of business months ago. It had been doing pretty good, we looked out for it every day but a few days ago it came up with a...

This is my first batch of chicks ever. I ordered 6 day old chicks from My Pet Chicken, 2 buff Brahma bantams, 2 white silkie bantams, and 2 black frizzle Cochin bantams. They will be 1 week old tomorrow. The buff Brahmas have grown faster than the others and 1 of them, the biggest, started...
