18 week old Barnevelder and Black austrolorp. When we got them they were supposed to be pullets. Can anyone confirm if they are pullets or cockerels? Thanks
I am interested in feeding my flock an organic or non gmo corn and soy free seed. I know it is more expensive feed so I would like recommendations on a reasonably priced feed and where to get this.
We just changed to roll our nest boxes and our oldest chickens are not laying in them but our new ones are.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get our chickens to lay in the new nest boxes instead of on the ground?
The old nesting boxes had straw and the new roll outs have artificial turf.
This is our 4 month old Blue Laced Red Cockerel. He does not move around much and sits down a lot inside the coop. When he does get up he walks fine and there is nothing on the bottom of his feet. He is not crowing yet either. We did integrate them with older chickens and they have seemed to do...
We are getting our second batch of Meat Birds. We got our last meat birds from Myer Poultry. Is Meyer Hatchery or Myer Poultry better to get your meat birds from?
It is hard to tell in the pictures but I was looking at our six week old easter egger and its beak is longer underneath than the part above. Is this anything to be worried about like crossbeak or normal?
Our splash maran that we have is two weeks old. She is one of 24 we ordered from Meyer Hatchery. We have two bins connected and she goes to the bin with no other chickens. Tonight she was sitting and will not really get up. I picked her up and she can stand but I do not know what is wrong
A few of our chicks we got last week had pasty butt. We cleaned them this weekend and they all got better except this one. It is very dry. What can I do??
We had wild dogs kill our chickens today. 6/22 of them were in the coop with the door shut due to the wind. 2 more came back to the coop several hours later. Do you think there is any way more could come back today or tomorrow?
We just lost 16 of our chickens this morning. Our chickens laid eggs yesterday and today and we are thinking about incubating them and hatching them. We have a silver laced Wyandotte rooster and Easter Egger hens. Would these produce an olive Egger?
We lost our 16/22 of our chickens from wild dogs. We had our chickens free ranging and came back and the wind managed to blow the door closed and 6 chickens were unharmed inside our coop. Where is the best place to order chickens from if you order online? Last year, we got them locally.
