chicken

Hi there, I'd like to share my experience with my first hatch ever. We got chickens two times before, but those were hybrid chickens and they died after 3-4 years. After that, we decided to not keep chickens anymore, but when we found an Omlet Chicken coop, we finally were ready for chickens...

I have three starlight green eggers. Two of my girls have similar coloring and sized combs. My third starlight, Coconut, has white brown splash(?) coloring and a much larger comb. Coconut is also much more likely to square up against the other chickens but overall has a great temperament...

Hi there, I have 4 chicks at 8 weeks old. They are from a mixed flock. I think the white one (Houdini) might be from the blue Araucana egg though sadly I was away when they hatched and my husband didn't check. The black one (Spot) had a yellow spot on its head as a little chick. This one...

Her feet have been like this for about a month now and im not sure what’s wrong. She can’t walk well as they seem sore and sensitive. I checked for bumble foot but I see no sign of that or any cuts or wounds. And other than her feet she seems healthy and is eating but she’s some lost weight in...

My hen had been kissing feathers for a while on her back mostly. I thought it could be molt however it never progressed into kissing more feathers. I’ve never witnessed any of the chickens picking on her. They are free ranged with electric netting and moved every 1-2 days. I noticed her hanging...

Hi there! We have some chickens that will be 12 weeks old tomorrow, Lord’s Willing! Sadly, a raccoon got into the pen a few nights back and got one of them :hit Praise The Lord, the others all seemed okay, but we noticed one laying down more than others. She (he) is still eating and drinking...

Hello all, I have had chickens for a few years but am a first time duck owner and have had them for a year now. I’ve had instances of chickens eating their own eggs which isn’t surprising (bc chickens are chickens) but I caught one of my Pekin’s this morning eating one of my chicken eggs! Then I...

I have 5 ducks. 4 welsh harlequins (one is male) and 1 silver appleyard. They’re 2 years old. I want to get two female goslings and introduce them to the ducks once they’re big enough but not too big. I also have a polish chicken who stays with the ducks, which might also be a problem. I keep my...

My hen this morning would not chase treats, was lethargic, and keeping to herself. I gave her an Epsom soak just in case because I recently lost a hen to egg issues. Her crop was empty but she still acted sick. Eventually she drank water but still would hardly move and she walked slow. I...

I ordered some pullets a few weeks back and am worried one may be a cockerel and I can’t have another one! I ordered a few different breeds so she’s my only (and first) SS and she’s starting to look a little suspicious lol I’ve never had issues ordering from them in the past they’ve always been...

We have an 8 week old chicken that suddenly became lethargic, wasn't eating/drinking, and was sitting in a corner alone super puffy, away from the flock. We started mixing Corrid in the water incase she had parasites and she instantly got better and was back to normal. We stopped the Corrid...

Does anyone have any experience in using wood chip mulch for their chicken run? (The kind you see at playgrounds, not sure if I’m using the right name) My run is so muddy and STINKS because it’s at the bottom of a slope in my yard. I researched it online and seems safe to use, however...

Can you help me? The Chicken is not moving much, her head is moving is slowly so is her body and there is some yellow thig coming out of her, when he pooped and a red huge thing pops out then goes back(probably infection?). What should I do?

Hello, I have a question about sowing seed in my yard. I would like to surface sow some grass seed all throughout my yard that my chickens and white embden geese will be able to graze and peck at. I'm not sure which types would be best surface sown and how to keep my chickens from eating the...
