Thanks! The back panel of the run under the porch is on a hinge so it flips up for access. :)

After a looong wait, the coop I had custom designed & built by the wonderful Bay Area Coops (in Northern California) has finally arrived. It matches our house perfectly and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! Wanted to share some photos, the dimensions and renderings from the design...

Here are only droppings I could find in her box

Update: she definitely popped out that clear-white-green liquid it was stuck to her feathers under her vent and abdomen. She is currently soaking. What’s the treatment for internal laying or a broken egg??

Starting night before last of my Barred Rock hens (approx 7 months old) has all of the symptoms of being egg bound (waddling with tail down, puffy abdomen omin, straining, lethargic and withdrawn), so I was CERTAIN she was egg bound. After reading up I followed all the instructions I could find...

Thank you!! And no, I just purchased both thinking I’d use one this time and one next time.

I have the following two products: Valbazen Drench 500 ml & LevaMed Levamisole Soluble Drench Powder 52 gm Could someone be so kind to tell me or point me in the direction of a good basic guide on how to administer them (orally and/or in their waterer), and the correct dosage for my 4 month old...

Thank you! Yes, they have grit available all the time. She seems to be doing better, definitely more alert and stood up on her own for a little just now. She pooped this morning (dropping look normal) and her crop feels empty. Still not eating or drinking though. How often do I give the...

Thanks so much for the reply. I feed them Scratch & Peck Grower feed mixed with some Manna Pro Medicated Started/Grower. As far as treats go, meal worms, tomatos, Zucchini, and occasionally some plain yogurt mixed with rolled oats. She lives with 3 other Silkies & 4 Barred Rock of the same age...

My favorite chick (the one in my profile picture), Moscow, seems to be very lethargic and laying down. This afternoon I noticed that she was laying on her side (as if she had been dust bathing) and I didn’t think much of it. Just came back out to give them some fruit and she was sleeping and...

Is there a name for the color of my Cochin-Silkie roo? Or is he one of a kind :p

It’s been REALLY hot up here in Northern California lately, over 100 degrees the past few days.... On the days that get well into the 90’s I’ve been putting a big block of ice in my run and my chickens LOVE it. Some of my chicks like to lay or stand on it, while others seem to enjoy just laying...

@Northwest_Wannabe - Here are more pics of their combs...

OH NO! Yes, I can try and get a better shot of their combs.

”Whatcha doing Mom?” - Sophia, 9 week old Barred Rock

Hello- Can anyone let me know if they think any of my three silkies are cockerels? They are all approx. 8 weeks old. (Is it too soon to tell?) I purchased them from a breeder who said they were all pullets, but #1 is doing something that sounds suspiciously like an attempt at crowing and is...

Anyone? 😬

Wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a name for the color of my presumed cockerel who is half Cochin and half Silkie (red arrow in pics). Also, I’m pretty sure 2 of my 3 Silkie pullets are going to be porcelain-blue but what about the third one (blue arrows in pics). Any input would be...

LOL yep. Is that weird?

Oh no!! The breeder said he’d take it back but now I’m so attached to him/her 😕
