    Is it harmful?

    My pullets are 12 weeks old now. I have them in with the older girls. My question is this, will it be very harmful for the pullets if they are eating some of the hens layer food? I have it set up so the older girls can't eat the pullets food, but can't think of a way to keep the little girls...

    Treating for lice...

    thank you for your help. She gets BOSS every day. What other type of protien should I give to her? I let them all out to scratch around the yard today, she stayed by herself and just sort of stood around not interested much. She is not laying any eggs and her poo is very slimy and runny.

    Finding slot of feathers

    I am wondering what could be causing my girls to loose their feathers. Is there such a thing as spring molting? They are last years chicks. Or are they picking on one another? I have one hen sick, pale comb, possibly internally laying...not sure.

    SICK HEN....Pictures of poo..PLEASE HELP!

    Ihave an ISA Brown doing the same thing! She just kind of hangs around. She is eating and drinking and also has laid 2 very tiny eggs. Her poo looks the same as your girls, so I am thinking she is laying internally like yours...any thoughts anyone?

    Blood specks splashed in coop

    I would check their combs...that is what happened to mine. I saw a few drops of blood here and there and then looked at their feeder and it looked like blood spray everywhere. I then watched them eat and discovered it was exactly where their combs would hit. Ta-da....that was it. One of my...

    injured comb

    I am not sure what has caused this, but went out to clean up after the girls only to find one has an injured comb. It is dripping blood and I am not sure what to do. This is my first injury so I could use some good advice! Thank you.

    Does this mean she is mature?

    I am very new at raising chickens....I love it! I have just recently received 3 eggs in the last week from my 6 Isa Brown's. Only one has a very red and mature looking comb on her head. Does that mean that she is mature enough to lay her eggs?
