    Hen or Roo Easter Egger?

    I wouldn’t put it past her. I used to get several eggs a day and a few months back my chickens who I know are laying decided that the massive yard they are in wasn’t big enough and started flying over the wall and adventuring through the orchard, about the same time our daily egg count plummeted...

    Hen or Roo Easter Egger?

    I have this Easter Egger who my daughter picked out at our local feed store as an older chick. When we got it back in June it was already about 2 months old so I suspect it is around 7-8 months now. All the chicks were suppose to be sexed females but they couldn’t fully gaurentee the sex of the...

    Recommended Feed

    I have a young flock, all my pullets are just coming into lay and I have a few cockerels. I also have a few 8 week old chicks I just introduced to the flock. What are your recommendations on feed for a flock of varying ages? Also which are the most nutrient dense? If it’s organic that’s a plus...

    HELP!! Sick Chickens

    I sent two of the deceased chickens off for necropsy yesterday. Today the chickens seem to be doing a little better, no new dead ones this morning so that’s a plus. Three that were acting ill seem to have more energy. My Ancona with the pale floppy comb came over and was chattering to me this...

    HELP!! Sick Chickens

    Corid was started and I dumped all the new feed that was in the feeder and refilled it with the old crumble. Almost all of the chickens came running to eat when I did that so I guess I will be giving away the new stuff

    HELP!! Sick Chickens

    I checked the crop of the chicken who died today and it was full, I know for a fact she didn’t eat today because she stayed in the same spot all day until she passed. They were devouring the food up until the last few days now it’s hardly been touched. It’s hard to tell whose droppings are whose...

    HELP!! Sick Chickens

    Half my flock seems to be sick overnight. A couple days ago I found one of my roosters dead in the nesting boxes I had worked the days leading up to his passing so I’m not sure what his demeanor was like. Yesterday I noticed a few chickens looking lethargic, standing hunched with droopy tails...
