Are these non-toxic to the chickens? Will they eat them? Or how do you use them in the coop?

What are zeolite stones? 🙂

Hi there! I live in Alaska where humidity is very high even with freezing temperatures. Today the outside humidity is 96% and the coop is at 98 while temperatures are around 25. I anticipate this trend to continue throughout the winter with temperatures being far below zero. I am concerned about...

Just looking for a laugh!

Ok guys, I gotta tell ya, I’m feeling pretty confident that I have the worlds ugliest chicken. But I thought before I gave myself an award, I should just see how many ugly chickens are out there. So please, share with us your ugly chicken pictures!

I live in Alaska, zone 3. Temps get down to -30°F. We can get up to 7’ of snow that sticks around until April. I have an 8’x10’ walk in coop and 10 hens. It is well ventilated at the top. However, it is super difficult to get behind the coop for snow removal where their run is. This means they...

Thank you for your reassurance 🙂

Hi there. Started out with 13 hens and 2 roosters. Winter was extremely hard on my flock in Alaska. The roosters were very aggressive with the hens. I have since gotten rid of the roosters. And lost 3 hens. I now have 10 hens. I could see where the roosters had been mating, and several of the...

I just got a new chicken encyclopedia and learned that green onions can cause sudden death. Was this something they could have gotten into?

😆 thanks again!! I’ll go grab some from town today!

Thank you!

Ok thank you. I’ll check her first thing in the morning. I do not have an anti fungal. The store close to me doesn’t carry it and I was having a hard time tracking it down in Walmart. What section would it be in? I think we’re headed to town tomorrow. What specifically should I look for? And I...

Sketched this a couple years ago. Don’t do much these days.

I had something similar on one of my chicks this past spring. I had no clue and asked a local chicken farmer. They weren’t entirely sure either but suggested it could be a feather feather quill coming in? I know, not very helpful but my chick did grow out of it anyway and it wasn’t anything to...

I honestly haven’t looked too much into this, but could it be the avian flu? Sudden death is one of the “symptoms”. I also found this through google

Welcome! Your in good company. This group has helped me learn SO much as a new chicken keeper! ☺️

So, I kept her in the shop for a few days with ACV and yogurt mixed into her regular food. She’s also had oyster shell and grit access. Her crop is still much smaller than it had been. I decided to put her back in the coop today and things went ok with the flock, I think there was some pecking...

Yes! Thanks for checking in. Yesterday was a little rough-the crop was still very full and when I went to pick her up she started vomiting. I had no time to prevent it from going down her throat. She started coughing and shaking. I really thought I was going to lose her for a minute. But I gave...

Nope- everything has either been removed or is covered.
