Thank you for the help!

They have few roosts, dust, sand among many options she chose to pluck feathers 🤬... Right, I thought the same about reintegration, kind of risky... But I'm out of fence and shops are closed for a while, I tried to improvise today with curtains but she finds her way to sneak out... She's a real...

I was thinking of buying chick starter and try my luck. Not sure if it's gonna help her stop doing that bad habit but wil certainly try. Should I separate her completely, would it be a good idea to put her away for a couple days?

Hello everyone. I have a problem with 1 hen, she keeps plucking off/eating feathers of other hens. It came to the point that one of my hens has bare spots on her thighs. I've noticed today that 6 of my other hens don't have saddle feathers, just fluffy inner ones. And I saw her plucking off...

I have some red clover hay, would that be good? By the way, your link works now. I'll go through it!

Yes, not opening to me either

Thank you! Hmm, I could get a straw, I've been using it years ago but alone and it really makes the coop messy, can't last even 2 days... how could I mix it actually? Wouldn't sawdust just go through it? Should I add equal amount of both or 1 more than the other?

I'll see how it goes tomorrow day. Thanks a lot! 😊

I see... I find them good as bedding but I'm afraid they might use it for dustbath and it would cause a mess, also hard to breathe

Hello everyone! I ran out of wood shavings. I've went through the whole town and couldn't find shavings, the only thing I found today was sawdust. Now, is it a good idea to use sawdust as bedding? I'm scared of them eating some, they are nine months old and even tho. they are adults now they...

I understand, thank you! I'll know more tomorrow day, I've read few articles. It's hard to get rid off of them right? I mean, are they really persistent? What are the chances of my hens getting rid off of them?

I'm from Montenegro, Eastern Europe. I'll visit a vet ambulance tomorrow day and see what they have. This is a real bummer 🤢

I see... what about the eggs? Safe to eat? And thank you

What should I treat them with? Also, do they come back after a treatment or gone for good?

I'm new to all this so still learning... I have never hit the 'worms chapter' lol... Are you sure? The first photo was taken just when 1 hen pooped while I was there, I had to check her poop too and it had those in it as you can see... 🤔

I just went to feed my hens and I noticed wiggly white things in poop... I suppose those are worms? They are 9 months old and I didn't deworm them. What should I do? Are eggs safe to eat? Are these a threat to human? Ughh... :heany advice would be appreciated! Photos below

Thank you! It's definitely not diluted with the ground, I was there when it happened just couldn't find the guilty one lol. You are right about consuming too much water, I filled the waterer yesterday and it was almost empty this morning... It can hold around 2L, and I have 10 chickens. So that...

Hi everyone! I've noticed few times on occasion a weird looking diarrhea and it's been a while. I don't know if it's just 1 hen or few. We've been having heavy cold raining for the past few weeks and they were constantly soaked. I didn't notice any odd behaviour, they are scratching around...

I feel you, the temp here in Eastern EU hits 42C in shade... you can only imagine the temp with no cover. One question, do you have anything on top layer to protect your chickens? If so, what is it?

The quince bush is beautiful! They seem to love it and actually looks like the camping area for them haha. Thank you for your reply! :)
