    Pullet not doing well

    Yes, but your insight is still appreciated. I ordered the enrofloxacin tablets. They still won't be here for a couple of days, and hopefully she will improve without them, but I will have them for her, or for future issues. I did read up on the FDA ban prior to ordering to get a better...

    Pullet not doing well

    Thank you for the links and guidance. Is there one you would suggest over the other? I can get some ordered and on its way today. I have a kennel in their run i can keep her in to administer (only way I could give her eggs without the others gobbling them up!) Her droppings today were scant...

    Pullet not doing well

    Not sure if anyone can give any guidance, I gave her another soak today to try and wash the poop off her feathers (also gave them a trim) she has had a calcium tablet today and the past 2 days crushed and scrambled in an egg, which she ate pretty well. Her belly is very distended, and I think I...

    Young chicken laid one egg and stopped?

    Has your girl laid another egg? Mine still hasn't and seems to be showing a slow decline like the jersey giant we had that never laid an egg and passed away in February 😢

    Pullet not doing well

    Forgot to add, 9 girls have an 8x5 coop, 8x16 covered run and a tunnel that leads to another 6x10 run. They are fed nutrena all flock with oyster shell and grit on the side. 2 feed stations and 3 water stations. I've tried to do everything you all have taught me on this forum that I can but...

    Pullet not doing well

    Not sure if I'm a terrible chicken keeper or just have bad luck, but here goes... pullet is 22 weeks old, always been healthy and beautiful Midnight Majesty Maran. She laid her first egg 15 days ago, and yes I am quite certain. I have a camera in the coop, and all of my girls have eggs I can...

    Why are grey chickens called every other color but grey?

    So self blue = lavender = all over even color grey Blue = grey with darker lacing? This forum keeps me straight so I don't get took by people selling on the local classifieds 🤣 I see EE'S with the rust patches on their wings being sold as pullets, and I say no no sir, that right there is a...

    Young chicken laid one egg and stopped?

    I have one that has done that as well. My girls don't free range, so there aren't too many places to hide a nest. She keeps going in the nesting box but alas, no egg after her first one. I have questioned whether it was her, but I have a camera in the coop (yes I watch my chickens...a lot 😅)...

    Never Built Before

    You've already gotten what I think is great advice. Since you are planning for a walk in coop anyway, I would price out sheds for sure. I built my coop, and it took 20x longer and cost way more than I anticipated. Every screw and nail adds up when you are building something so large. Plus, your...

    Audio book club, anyone?

    I haven't read in awhile. This book looks interesting though! I'd be interested. Just placed a hold on the e audiobook at my library :)

    Flock Party Duck Feeder?

    Oh no, I didn't mean mine is for ducks. I should have posted that better. I meant i had the flock party style feeder for chickens and was sharing my lid idea, mostly because it took like 2 minutes to make haha. I already abandoned that feeder honestly because the chickens made such a mess. I...

    Flock Party Duck Feeder?

    Sure. These are the hooks I used. Honestly, not the sturdiest, but they did hold the feeder well. And here's a picture of the feeder with its fancy hat 😄

    Flock Party Duck Feeder?

    Yes mine has a hanger, and I did use it. I purchased some eye bolts that had a clasp that I screwed into the wood where I wanted to hang it. I have zero experience with ducks or geese, so hopefully they will!

    Flock Party Duck Feeder?

    I have not used the duck feeder, but I have a similar chicken feeder. Lasted about a day and they had crumble all over to hell and back 😅 but...I did make a very classy lid out of an old pie tin for mine.

    How intense is your pecking order?

    Stealing that feeder from a perch idea! No big issues over on my flock, but never hurts to add an extra step to harassing the new pullets🤣 would you mind clarifying what a cage cup is? Thank you!

    Has your girl started laying yet!? Mine is just barely starting to really get red in the comb, and squatted for me today :D the anticipation is killing me haha

    Shredded feathers?

    Could it be the shredder gene? I read about it on a thread on here because my lavender orpington has feathers similar to that (and she was one of my 2 not from a hatchery). I know zero about genetics besides bits I've read on threads, but just throwing out another idea :)

    Sand smell?

    For a temporary solution, could you put some pdz on it? I have no idea if it will actually work but worth a shot to absorb some moisture and odor :confused:. I use sand in my main run, but we are on a naturally arid climate and that run is covered. My girls have a tunnel that goes to an unroofed...
