I was watching them and I think your right. What can I do to stop it?

I dont know if it is feather plucking or not. Could it be a molt starting? I have 5 hens. 2 easter eggers and 3 black star hens. The easter eggers both look a little ratty but this one in particular looks the worst.

Have been noticing that my easter eggers feathers have been looking ratty lately and now I saw this today. I am not sure if this hen is laying or not but I do know that one of the two is. She is 9 months old so should not be molting. Any help would be appreciated.

I am always curious about size recomendations. If you ask someone who raoses chickens on a farm they will tell you 2 sq ft per bird. If you ask someone who does it as a hobby its 4 sq ft minimum. My coop is 4x4 and houses 5 birds just fine. I guess i split the difference being around 3 sq ft. I...

I just set my waterer up with an aquarium heater. My waterer is a pvc j that uses atmospheric pressure to maintain water level. I could not use any of the poultry water heaters with this setup. I put a rubber cap on the top spliced the heater wire and ran it through the rubber and sealed it...

Wanted to give you guys an update and see if it would help. She is not doing the weezing thing as much and her breathing seems less labored. She is making a soft gurgling noise when she is breathing though. I put her in a laundry tub with food/water and a 60w red bulb to keep her warm...

Not sure what this is about. My ee may have laid her first egg yesterday but now is doing this. I made a video to show rather then explain. Hopefully someone can tell me whats up. Thanks

What are gagworms? Do you meam gapeworms?

Throat looked clear. She does not have any discharge at all. Crop did not feel full. I put her in my other tractor by herself for tonight. I did not see anything on the cutip when I put it down her throat.

More info if helpful. 1) What type of bird , age and weight. Easter egger 7 months old 5-6lbs 2) What is the behavior, exactly. See video 3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? Just saw today. 4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms? None of them are acting funny. 5) Is...

Anybody have any ideas? I am going to separate her now. I think she has been laying for over a week but it could have been the other EE that was laying. If that's the case she just laid her first egg because I had 2 in the nest box today. One large and one small blue egg.

Today one of my EE's is acting very odd. Please watch the video at And tell me what you think could be going on with her. Thanks!

Got a picture of a red tail hawk wanting to join my flock. Too bad I cant shoot them like I do the squirrels.

I am in eastern pa. Warminster to be exact. I can build a coop for you. Email me at [email protected]. I based my coop from the amish coops at horizon structures. We slow down in the winter so i can take on more carpentry projects. Thanks, Kris

I am going to install a poop board because it will give me more usable floor space in the coop for the feeder/waterer under the poop board.

The main types of residential roll roofing would be either glue down, torch down or peel and stick. Peel and stick would be the easiest to use for a coop but its a bit more expensive to buy. Torch down needs base sheet installed with cap nails. (I cant tell you how many times I have seen a...

I did not know they had section 8 housing for chickens The run is nice and big!

I plan on using the roof vents on my coop. I was going to install a soffitt vent but they will actually provide more square footage venting wise for my setup and they are the highest point on the structure allowing the moist air to escape. I plan to install them as well as sheet metal on the...
