I guess I can wear a mask and gloves- i'm worried about inhaling the powder or absorbing it through my skin. They were tiny little black specks that were moving on the egg shell. I did go out in the rain today and move the coop/run to a new spot of grass and sprayed the grass with the Pure...

I'm trying to get pregnant right now so I am worried about using anything with chemicals, which is why I have the Pure Planet Poultry Spray. I wasn't sure if Permethrin is safe to use while pregnant...

I just went and collected eggs and one egg had just been laid (still warm) and it had little tiny black bugs running around on it. I assume these were mites. When I picked it up they ran onto my hand and I squished the ones I could find, and I wiped the egg with a cloth to remove any other...

They sell it with up to a 12ft attached run. But personally that looked like it would be too difficult to move around easily with the wheels and handles.

Well I tried letting the Rhode Island Red rejoin the flock today, and at first I thought things were going to be okay... My other Barbu d'Anvers (black mottled) and my darker colored Rosecomb seemed to have taken over the top spots in the pecking order and were keeping the Rhode Island Red in...

I have an Eglu Cube with the 9ft run as well! This is my first time keeping chickens, I moved in 7 little bantams back in early February. I also keep my chickens confined to the run because of the birds of prey in my area. I do try and move it around my yard to a new spot of grass at least twice...

Today was a nice sunny day and I had the opportunity early this afternoon to catch the Rhode Island Red! So I removed her from the flock and stuck her in the dog kennel in the mother-in-law suite. With the Rhode Island Red removed I felt that it was safe to let the vent pecked Barbu d'Anvers...

I let my Barbu d'Anvers who has been vent pecked back in the run with the rest of the flock for about an hour today while I watched and played chicken referee. Most of the flock had pretty normal interactions with her, some jumping and flapping, a little pecking around the neck and shoulders...

Omlet says that their Eglu Cube can fit up to 6 large hens or up to 10 bantams. I have the 7 bantams now, and now I am thinking that I should not get any additional hens, just incase they are feeling cramped. I feed them Purina Layena Layer Crumbles, which is 16% protein. The nesting box is...

I have no idea why they would want to bully her besides the blood on her eggs. She isn't even the smallest hen, one of the Rosecombs is significantly smaller than she is. I did just go out to check on her in the mother-in-law suite and she had laid an egg! This egg was the cleanest egg I have...

Here are some pictures of her now that she is mostly dry.

For my first time giving a chicken a bath I think it went pretty well! She did flap her wings at one point and splash dirty chicken water in my face, I should have worn eye protection! Well now I know. Hopefully I don't get pink eye or something! When I checked on her this morning she had made...

Thank you for your knowledge! I got all 7 of my bantams on the same day from the same breeder, and they were housed together there- so they have always been together. The my two bigger hens are a bantam sized Rhode Island Red and a bantam sized Plymouth Rock. I have two Barbu d'Anvers, and...

Hello, I am a really new chicken keeper! I only got my little flock of 7 bantams this February. They are all very young hens who just started laying right before/right after I got them. My little Barbu d'Anvers has been laying eggs that had blood on the shells. I read that this can happen for...
