    Shredder gene in Lavender Orpington

    I was just looking at this. I have 2 beautiful Lavender Orpingtons. One has the shredded gene (Lavender), which is why I was investigating. Then I have my girl (Janice), and she looks like everyone else feather wise. So I found this interesting.

    More curious than concerned

    Lavender is my 21 old Lavender Orpington. She is obvious differently than the others physically and she matches her sister, but her feather apparence is different. Was wondering if she gets her first molt if it will go away or it would stay even after her molt. Honestly, I think it's cute and...

    Layer feed suggestions

    Been trying to figure out what layer feed would be good for my girls. Since the Purina incidents both flock feed and pet food, I no longer trust the brand. Cluck and Peck was getting to be expensive. And Kalmbach feeds has a lot of filler. Any other feed suggestions? I was curious to see if...

    3 year old Golden Sexlink Lethargic and has Scaly Leg Mites

    Just to clarify none of my ladies have laid for a week. Which has been normal this year. I did check before making this to see if she was egg bound. Checked this morning and she had a full Corp, but it was filled with water and it was clear. She was regurgitating right when I was going to take...

    3 year old Golden Sexlink Lethargic and has Scaly Leg Mites

    I've been fighting this thing for a month and a half. Been putting Vaseline everyday except once a week when I use cooking oil on their legs. I just started doing the hydrogen provide since my chicken is being very lethargic. She was only going into the run once or twice a day, I personally...

    Summer weather is coming

    Hello my BYC peers. I've had chickens for 3 years now and I never tried raising baby chicks during late spring early summer weather. What are some ways to keep the chicks cool during summer weather while I'm working? I was thinking a frozen water bottle, misting the air and frozen fruit. The...

    Purple spots on one foot?

    I was cleaning my chickens' nails and saw one of my girls had purple areas on only one foot. I was able to take a photo when she was asleep in my lap, since she doesn't like me touching her legs. I have no clue what it is from or how to fix it..

    How long 50lbs of feed last?

    Yes. I think when I had 4 I went through a bag in a month. 3 years ago was my first year with chickens. I knew nothing about chickens since I had a chicken stumble into my house and started it all. Now I'm just trying to be more prepared and trying to remember how much feed I should probably have.

    How long 50lbs of feed last?

    I am getting 6 chicks soon so how much would 50lbs last me? I had 4 chicks about 3 years ago, I don’t remember how long it lasted me but it felt like I was flying through bags.

    My 2 year old Rhode Island Red has a bump on foot

    Sorry for the late response to your post. It's been since beginning of November. So far it hasn't gone away or grew anything so I'm hoping it's just extra cells in that one spot. She isn't in pain or anything since she has let me know when she had a thorn in her cute little foot. I'm just...

    My 2 year old Rhode Island Red has a bump on foot

    That's fine, thank you. Maple is usually very vocal if she's hurting, but she has been acting normal. This chicken would limp to me with little chirps to tell me she has a thorn in her foot. I'll give her a bumblefoot treatment and I'll update you if it works or not. Very much appreciate the...

    My 2 year old Rhode Island Red has a bump on foot

    The bottom of the foot looks and feels normal. That's why I wasn't 100% sure and wanted another opinion.

    My 2 year old Rhode Island Red has a bump on foot

    My Almost 3 year old Rhode Island Red hen has a small firm lump on her foot, and it hasn't grown. Would love to get someone else's thoughts since I'm not quite sure if it would be bumble foot since it doesn't match pictures that I've seen.
