She barely hold her head like in the second picture, most of the time her head is way down on her belly turned like in first picture. I don't have vitamin E, Bs or selenium, I can't get them. Is there some food she can have that may help her? Or it won't get better without vitamins and selenium...

I culled her very sadly. She couldn't lay it after 4-6 days and she was getting thinner and only laid in one place with eyes closed. It was quick and I hope that I ended her suffering before she could suffer more.

I've done everything that is suggested, baths, calcium, oil after bath, massages, warm and dark place but nothing changed. I've managed to get her to poop. She mostly stays in one place, comb is nice and red, she eats and drinks good. I can see and feel the egg if I try to push it out. She had...

You can check daily and see if crop is full or empty. You can keep food near her beak so she doesn't need to get up but she can spill water and damage the nest so no water near her.

She should be able to get out but you need to be careful, there are some commited broodies that won't go out of nest for eating, drinking or most important pooping one eggs. Had that happened with this one first days when I didn't cover her nest box and now I have to take her out 2 times a day...

I currently have one broody aswell, she if first time broody pullet and she does good job but she wasn't raised by me and isn't comfortable being in house. All I did was cover her nest box entrance and let her outside every day 2 times for 10 mins. She needs to eat,poop,drink, stretch and dust...

Black legs with white soles bred to any breed with yellow legs produce legs with what color? Does the skin genes W-white dominant and w - yellow play some role in leg color incuding soles or no? Thanks

:welcome

I would free range them every day for around 1h. I've seen some people also have those tunnels and they are pretty low in height.

For parents in breeding season

Well, I don't really know, australorps and leghorns and maybe polish If I find good quality.

I will build in future cage that looks similar to this and I was thinking is it ok if the height of single section is 50cm or 55cm. 2ft to me is not good because If I make it 2ft that equals to 180cm + room for cleaning trays(10cm x 3(legs on bottom)). It would be for standards.

I got one australorp pullet who is really small, not runty but around 1.6kgs and she layed her first egg at 7 months old and I was wondering will she grow any more? Her parents are normal utility weight but she looks like her mom in size but weighs less. She has good weight one her keel and...

I don't know, I saw from one guy that raises game fowls and when he wants to add weight, he puts grease for 3-4 days in feed. I also saw on here that too much fat doesn't let them lay eggs, they slow down I guess.

There are alot of false or mixed responds on here that I tried to find is it really a myth or no. Some say that it will help them get warmer, other say it won't. Some say by digesting it, it gives them heat during colder days. Others say its low protein, high energy feed that doesn't make them...

I was reading on here about cons of adding light during winter days(I won't do it, I am just learning about chickens) and someone said that light doesn't help to produce more eggs but instead it just gets them 'empty' of eggs faster because hens have certain number of eggs during their lifetime...

Which one is best for them and why? Thanks!

No, I don't want to breed out, I don't have any araucanas but here where I live, we only have them, not ameraucanas. Im just learning more and more about the chickens so that I can know alot in any aspect of chickens.

Im learning about genetics online so If I can't find any information or don't really understand I ask here.
