    Cedar chips?

    It's great for flower beds and a good pest repellent. In veggies garden I'm not sure you would probably want to research that. But it's excellent for mulching and smells nice. As @StinkyAcres said after a couple years of ageing and drying you could probably put in the the run. The smell I'd...

    Need help with identifying skin problem on the chicken chest

    It may have been originally caused from another chicken pecking her. Feather lose like that is unlikely to grow back till her next molt. So keeping it covered for protection till she grows them back is a good idea if it's from pecking. Unless you do discover lice or mites. I personally like...

    Need help with identifying skin problem on the chicken chest

    I was thinking if she was enclosed to a run maybe rubbing her chest along the wire. So that rules that out.

    Need help with identifying skin problem on the chicken chest

    Is she enclosed to a run or do they get to free range? I'm more curious about what's in the feather surrounding the bald spot. What do you use for bedding in the coop and nesting boxes?

    Chicken lost her comb

    Have you done a full body check over? Feel for any unusual lumps and bumps? Mites/Lice? Poop check? If all that is normal. And she eating and drinking normally then I wouldn't worry. You can add some vitamins to the water for a little something extra. I'm going to assume she's with the other...

    Chicken lost her comb

    Is she still being bullied? Chicken combs don't grow back. Depending on the severity of the injury if some comb is left it will heal. Infection is the biggest concern with head injury because it's so close to the brain. Is the injury healed? After a month it should be pretty much healed.

    Cochin gender - girl v boy.

    I vote pullets as well. Here's some pictures of my Cochin cockerels at different ages. 3 1/2 weeks old 4 1/2 weeks old The one with the red mark was the only pullet in that mix. 8 weeks old (all cockerels) So at 9 weeks old I'd safely say pullet.

    2026 Egg Shipping Methods

    I have the best hatch rates from eggs wrapped in bubble wrap and placed inside pipe isolators. I kind of like the foam but if it's to soft I've had order I've received broken eggs and it's a mess. Also I've almost always had broken eggs that have been placed in egg cartons. It's just not enough...

    Pekin, Cream Legbar and Olive Egger temperaments?

    If you want a known lap chicken and don't care about egg production a Salmon Faverolle would be the chicken you are looking for.

    Day 20, no wiggling anymore - help!!

    At Day 20 I wouldn't worry. Lack of movement is normal take a lot of energy preparing to hatch and not much room left in there. You'll probably wake up to chicks. Please share pictures of the new babies.

    3-day old chick sleeping a lot and not opening her eyes much

    I believe the brooder to be the cause. I'm waiting for the OP to respond to their other post. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/please-help-with-my-4-day-old-chick.1683786/ I fear they are keeping a lid on the plastic tote and the chicks are without proper ventilation/oxygen. Also...
