I coated the whole thing in the perch and hen mite and lice exterminator, and also lathered the tops in vaseline but I was also wondering if I should just take them down and put up new ones.... I will do that tomorrow, my only reason for wanting to be done with the treatment is these girls are...

So i’ve been dealing with scaly leg mites for the past week, i’ve done vaseline treatments on everybody 3 times including scrubbing it in with a toothbrush and i’ve used poultry mite spray on the legs and perches and the coop, my coop floor is lined with diatomaceous earth along with the nesting...

This is my salmon faverolle egg from tonight, I have two rooster silkies who I have seen atleast one breed with her but does this look fertilized?

We plan to trim the legs down before it goes out :lol:

Another little update on the front of our new coop

We decided to build a new coop for my main flock and then the other into a broodery as you guys suggested, we started the new 8 foot coop today and it’s turning out great so far!

I know it’s probably the last thing you want to hear but i’d return it and build your own :hmm the “wood” they use on those is going to fall apart so easily and not hold up in any kind of weather. I live in Minnesota where we get tons of snow and that coop would never keep my birds both warm and...

I went ahead and cracked an egg from 3 of my hens, I don’t see any fertilization yet. These are two pictures and I flipped the yolks so there’s a picture of each side.

Thank you! Every other rooster i’ve had has been very dominant so it seemed like the mating process for them was easy but these two silkies I have are so calm and just let the hens push them around!

Hello everyone I have a question for you all, I have two silkie roosters who are 6 months old and 5 hens, I never see my roosters mating my hens, I want to start incubating eggs as soon as I know they’re being fertilized, are my roosters old enough to be breeding my hens and even if ive never...

I won’t be keeping any new babies, my family will be taking them.

So this month we are expanding my 4 foot by 5 1/2 foot coop to add on a broodery for babies in the spring, we are also making the nesting boxes accessible from the outside, does anyone else have any tips or other things to add? here’s my coop for reference, I have 5 hens and 2 roosters Their run...

Yes! I have 5 hens and now the 2 boys and everyone has been getting along great, I just hope it stays like this!

Just wanted to let you guys know, you were right! I got two roos and one hen. Both the boys started crowing last week.

Sawdust!! it’s super cheap and you can usually find it anywhere from a local sawmill, when ever my run gets muddy I just shovel some sawdust in there and it clears it right up and the chickens love kicking it around.

So my 3 babies are around 6 weeks old now, can anyone tell if they’re boys or girls yet?

Update: it’s been 5 minutes since our last feeding, our stomachs growling and our peckers empty... if we sit here long enough the grub has to drop eventually.... we hope

I have 6 including the 3 babies, I got them all from homes that were over run so my goal was just to give them a better life! I haven’t had any issues yet besides introducing the babies to my older 6 month olds and the 4 year old, the older ones are picking at the babies everytime I try to let...
