    Practicing or egg bound?

    That's good to know, thank you! Definitely not acting any different, just spending a lot of time going in and out of the coop.

    Practicing or egg bound?

    Hello! My girls are all 21 weeks, and one started laying on Sunday. She's doing great, and has laid 4 so far! Two of the other ladies have been frequenting the coop/nesting box during the day, laying down, hanging out, but not laying eggs yet. Are they just acclimating or should I worry about...

    Our first egg!

    We didn't weigh it, I didn't even think of it! Definitely lots of photos though! It ended up being a double yolk too, that's gotta be good luck, right? 😉

    Our first egg!

    Hello! I just wanted to share our story of Bernadette. 😊 We just got out first ever chicks in April, and have been babying them like crazy. Bernadette is an olive egger, and from everything I read, olive egger chicks who have a rust spot on their head are 99% roosters. So we raised Bernie with...

    Adding oyster shells

    Hello! First time chicken mom here, so I always have questions as they continue to grow! My ladies are 19 weeks, and I've read mixed things on when to start offering oyster shells. Some day start at 16 weeks, others say not until they start laying. I decided to split the middle, and put some out...

    Coccidiosis

    We tried egg and wet food. She took a couple of tiny bites of egg, but isn't interested in the wet food. We put her in the coop by herself for a bit in hopes that she will munch on it when she doesn't have an audience. 🤞🏼 Thank you for all of your help!

    Thank you, I really appreciate you replying! We'll switch off of the deep bedding until they're feeling better.

    Coccidiosis

    Thanks for the reply!! Yes, we saw one red poop last night, and one of our girls, Bernadette, had her tail pointing downward. We decided to keep an eye on it, but this morning Bernadette was still in the coop at 845 (usually everyone runs out as soon as the door opens at 715). We picked her up...

    Coccidiosis

    Hello, We just got our chickens fecal test back, indicating that we need to treat for coccidiosis. I'm a first time chicken mama, so I'm trying to learn quickly how to best treat and protect my birds. For context, we have 7 chickens, all are 14 weeks old. We're going to use liquid corid, and I...

    Chicken poop

    Is there any danger to treating for both at once? Especially with how young they are? Or any danger to treating them with corid if it isn't coccidiosis?

    Chicken poop

    So far I have only seen three poops like this, so, it definitely could be one single chicken. I observed four having normal poops, so I haven't been able to identify the culprit yet. I'm planning to stop medicated feed today, as recommended by a few others (I understand it's a controversial...

    Chicken poop

    Thank you! I posted the pictures in a poultry vet Facebook group, and the people there seem to think it may be shed.

    Okay, I think you're right that they are worms.

    Chicken poop

    Hello! I am new to chickens, and my ladies are about 9 weeks old. They've been fully outside for a week and a half. They were raised on medicated feed with very occasional dried grubs, and have a nice dirt run during the day. They are still eating medicated feed, as i'm trying to use up the...

    Chick diarrhea

    Really? I always thought Cecal was more creamy than liquid?

    Rat residue?

    Oh boy, what a comparison! There are no rat bodies needing disposal, but potential remnants of pee/poo. Would lime kill the potential pathogens too?
