Hi, Just thought I would share this great pic I took today of Bo our rooster. He's a great guy!

We picked up some new chicks today and were told these two are pullets and about 2 1/2 weeks old. Now after reading some other posts I am beginning to question their gender. What do you think? Chick #1 Chick #2

We found an old shed on Craigslist.......this is what we've done so far! Drop off Removing the old roof Lets raise the roof! painting the cupola cupola up A few more finishing touches and it's time to start the interior! Oh.....how many chickens can I have!

Hi, I need some info from the chicken experts. I have a broody sitting on 14 eggs, they are on day 19. Today we caught her pecking dead chicks twice. She apparently cracked their eggs and was in the peocess of eating them when we caught her. The dead chicks looked normal and almost ready to...

Mine like to climb the old apple tree!

Hi, This is Maude or maybe Moe. I can't seem to decide. One day she looks like a hen and the next a roo. She is 12 weeks old and a mix between a Buff Orp Rooster and a Laced Wyandotte Hen. Any guesses are greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone. I have 4- almost three week old chicks, hatched out by our broody mama- a lavender orp. This is our first time with a broody. She has lost TONS of feathers this week. Is is normal for a broody mama to molt or loose so many feathers after her hatch? There are so many in the...

Hi, I was out this afternoon cleaning poo of the feathers of my flock and I noticed clumps of eggs at the base of one of my girls feathers. Clearly egg bundles! They have been losing feathers but I assumed it was from the rooster because we lost two hens this winter and are down to just five...

Hi I have a Marans who is 10 months old, 2 days ago she started limping, not bad at first but it has progressed. Her leg seems to turn in abit so that when she walks she ends up standing on her foot sometimes. I felt her legs and looked at her feet for bumblefoot. I don't feel or see anything...

Hello everyone. I have a question...if I put ivermectin on the backs of my girls for lice/mites is there still an egg withdrawal time? I think one of my girls might have feather mites as most of her back is bare even though she has been wearing an apron for over a month and it has gotten worse...

I recently read on here a culling method using vinegar and baking soda for chicks. Can you use this method for a 1 year old hen?

Hi Everyone! Just wondering if you can give chickens the suet blocks that you put out for wild birds??

Hi Everyone I have a question. It has been raining here all day and it is supposed to get down to freezing tonight. When I put the girls the away tonite their heads and bodies were pretty wet. Will they freeze in the coop tonite? We do not have any heat or lights in the coop and I'm...

Hi all, I have some laying pullets and recently added two younger pullets to the flock. So far so good in the pecking order dept. Now here's my dilema.....when I had them separated both groups had their own food. Younger girls on grower crumbles, older girls on layer pellets. Now that they...

I have a hen with some bloody diarrhea. It has been recommended that I treat with Corid. I have a few questions.....When I put it in the water, how much? and do I let everybody drink it? When they have been treated can we still eat the eggs? If not how long should we abstain?

Hi, I have a hen, hatched in March. Yesterday I noticed some red diarrhea in the run. Thought it was from the watermelon the girls had to eat. So this morning there it is again and lots of it. Very runny and red, scooped some up and spread on a white napkin and it sure does look like blood...
