Yes! I actually do supplement them with vitamins and electrolytes. Perhaps I need to cut back on the vitamins??

Oh wow. I had no idea. Thank you for sharing that so I know this for the future 😊

I just got a message from my aunt saying that one of my eggs smelled like bleach. She sent me a pic of the shell and it looks lightly brown on the inside. I have never ran into this before so naturally I am kind of freaking out as I do sell my eggs. I use no chemicals around my flock, coop/run...

Oh my god. I have this very thing going on in my flock! This definitely was a hen. All feathering is rounded feathers and was silent until she hit 7 months old. I have no rooster in my flock and Molly has slowly transitioned into Marvin. Her feathers started changing, the colors in the...

Hey, thank you for checking back in. I don’t have a definite answer on what the noise or the condition was. However, I did start the whole flock on tylosin as I was hearing little sniffles amongst them. The tylosin cleared up whatever it was that was going on. All the girls are doing amazing...

that’s a great thought. When I get back to the house I’m going to do that. I will report back here when I do

That’s what I was wondering because I literally just cleaned the coop out and there was DE and sweet pdz jn there

Yikes. Ok I will not be adding anymore to my flock. Could it be that I just refreshed the coop bedding and sprinkled some DE and sweet pdz in there? This is the first time she’s made a noise like that and it just so happened to be right after I cleaned the coop and run

Ok is that normal? Or does that mean she has something respiratory going on? None of the other flock members have this.

This is a noise I’ve never heard before. My cuckoo maran has been making this sound all morning and she’s been standing in the same spot the whole time. The other pullets around her are kind of walking around her looking at what’s going on. Any ideas what this means? I’ve had this girl about two...
