Hi @Wyorp Rock, No obvious mucous from the nostrils or pus in the eyes. She does look a little.. stuffy in the eyes but its not so bad. I recently got her from a backyard hobbiyst about... 3 weeks ago and only really think she developed this cough about 3-4 days ago. When you say that...

Hi everyone I have a sneezing chicken who seems to be panting. I've checked oine and think she needs antibiotics. I've got oxymav B antibiotics and VetRx. Anyone know or suggest what's wrong . I got her from a backyard breeder. I've since moved her to a care area .. but any advice would be...

Thanks so much. I got the idea that the bigger the bird breed the longer it takes gereally to start. Compou ded tk this some girls are looking like boys! I'm just checking the best boxes now like a patient father. Lol

Hi everyone.. I've got my first flock from various breeders .. they are 23 to 25 weeks now.. and only two lay eggs ..out of 14! I have a plymoth barred rock, a light sussex, a buff sussex, old english game, ancona, araucana, 2 barnevelders , 2 blue leghorns , a silver kaced wyandotte, a...

I was also thinking that and was weary about being offensive . I'm loving this chicken community so please call out if I'm inappropriate..

Yes... she used to be really pretty and then shes now sort of.. weird looking. A halfie.

Hi everyone, my Plymoth is now 20/21 weeks .. And showing real signs of a rooster tail but not got any sickle or tackle feathers. She's a bit feisty, bit not at all aggressive with the others. Obviously not crowing. Has anyone had experience in having one look like this one.. And your thoughts...

I must admit i had a chuckle when I heard your chicken crow ... Did you finally figure if it was a he or she? I'm.playing a waiting game with my barred rock who has long tail feather but no males suckle next feathers . It's a waiting game that's giving me anxiety lol

Hi @acre The coop is 2.5m Wide by 80cm deep

I've got a prefabricated coop I bought online The chickens I have are still about 16 weeks and seem to sleep on the floor corner in a group rather on their roots The thing is, the roots in the coop design is about 2 inches from the floor of the sleeping area Has anyone got the same...

HI @Foristers, Thanks so much for the reply. I neglected to say that our council does not allow the keeping of roostes so unfortunately I'll have to get rid of any roosters when I get new chicks But the idea of selling older hens on fragility really is appealing so I will try that avenue. I...

Hi @Shadrach I have no problem feeding the chickens meat or fish too.. scraps or leftovers . I guess when I say organic I want to reduce the industrial processing .. if that makes sense

Hi @gtaus I think this is also going to be my option .. I also noticed a heap of wastage from foot shops.. so I got the courage to speak to them and ask if I could have any of their older stock etc for my hens. When I pop by , they give me a huge bag of older stock, such as outs for cabbage...

HI @gtaus, I have very limited knowledge on what is the best mix. :( I've just been watching the you mentioned . And you m and a really fair point about storage.. sinethung i having considered. When yiubsau you buy a bag of fresh feed ...Do you mean grains or pellets.. or should I be...

@Perris ..they are technically penned with a big run.. but we let them out to free range (just a little under an acre for 14 hens) pretty much most days forvat least 8 hours except if it rains. I often get vegetables from our local fruit market and they aren't lacking of greens a nnd also give...
