    I need help/advice. I’m at a loss at how to help my hens!

    Should I separate the ones who are picking on the others? Does that help break the habit or cycle?

    Their feathers won’t grow back until late fall or winter?? 😮 I don’t know much about molting, just that it’s different everywhere . I think. I just sat in the yard and watched my chickens and realized that I have 3 that look perfectly feathered and normal 😐 Should I take those 2 out and put...

    I have a buff Orpington that is broody and there a lot of her feathers & down in one of the nesting boxes. This just started 2 days ago and now I’m trying to figure out how to snap her out of it because I don’t have a rooster so those eggs won’t be hatching! Everything seems to happen all at...

    There are some but not what I would consider an abundance. Maybe 4 or 5 feathers. I have 15 chickens.

    I don’t have a rooster yet. Our weather is warming up now. We will have 80 degree days and 30 degree nights, but from time to time we have been known to have a snow storm at the end of May.

    I need help/advice. I’m at a loss at how to help my hens!

    I forgot to tell you that I am in the process of tripling the size of their run. Their coop is plenty big but since I’m trying anything I can I figured it would not hurt to give them more room. I have five 9 week old chicks that are ready for the outdoors but I’m worried they’ll have the same...

    It’s possible but they all look about the same. I’ve sat and watched for a bully but I haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary

    A few weeks ago I noticed some of my hens were losing feathers, first along their bottoms then on their necks and head. I immediately began researching the possible causes. Molting? Lice? Mites? By now I have treated my poor hens with Ivermectin. When that didn’t seem to work and more of my...

    I need advice/ideas because I am tired!

    Hello chicken friends. I am a new chick mama to 15 ten week o!d chicks. I finally finished the coop and run 2 weeks ago and moved them outside but apparently I made a terrible mistake because I put them in the run first instead of the coop. After letting them run around for an hour or so I did...

    Wondering if this is normal for my chicks

    Hi fellow chick lovers! Quick question. My 2 week old chicks' poop has changed color (darker now) and it's sticky. Could this be related to them eating fermented feed now? Or should I be worried? Thanks for your time!

    New chick Mama

    Thank you BlueBaby, I started them on dry started feed and they are eating very well, but when I I produce wet or fermented feed they won't go near it! I was told chickens were not picky eaters! 😊
