Dang, i wanted not naked hens. Do molts happen during the summer? Or can they since mine haven't melted yet.

Two of my buff orpingtons backs, sides, and head had been basically plucked clean almost and I'm trying to encourage new feather growth. I had gotten a mating saddle (idk if those are consaverial but they are the only way I've seen that protect birds backs) for them and I haven't seen any new...

So if im understanding correctly, i can give her yogurt?

Bit ashamed in asking this but yesterday i noticed tgat my chickens poo was really liquidity. It doesn't seem bloody or anything but i began to start the slow process of cleaning their run up. Im hoping this will help but I want to make sure she will be ok. (Unfortunately i do not have any...

I know nothing about geese but i have heard that if they get a mate they will ingore the chickens. But again i know nothing about geese so take what i say with a big platter of salt

Im doing that. I need to get her put in a dog kennel and put it inside the coop so i wont need to reintegrate her.

Honestly that makes enough sense to me. Thank you 🤣

Could be a few different things. Have they molted? Sometimes they could just be on break. A way i tell they are on break, or just freeloading is their comb. Bright red they are laying, pale comb means shes being a freeloader for now.

I thought i needed 7 boxes for 6 hens. But im ok with that many nest boxes since i plan for more chickens in the future

I think this question is in the right place but if it isnt ill just delete it and try again . I have a few questions regarding molting for chickens, mostly about early signs, care tips, and why it wouldn't be happening. My chickens are almost a year old and quite honestly i though i would see...

It looks like the middle could be a boy. I wish i could help more. But when you hear a crow id sit outside and watch them closely, eventually someone cracks

Thank you! I dont understand how to use esty so i just used google!

How many birds, breeds and age? If you dont know the breeds i would try to find out. Ages is hard but i just go off of when you first bought them and add a week or two depending on how big they are. Egg production when you first get chickens is slow and a bit frustrating. But it could also be...

Thank you! If i get the plans and its a bit confined i can always extend it and make it work for me.
