    spillage and wild birds

    My chickens were spilling a lot of food and once the winter came we started getting a ton of wild birds. I made a bucket feeder with 3 inch 90 degree pvc elbows to reduce the feed on the ground. It's been in the run for a few weeks and I'm worried that some of them cannot reach the feed. It...

    Rehoming Concerns

    I have a rooster (was sold as female) that I need to rehome. I have had a lot of difficulty finding a "good" home for him. I've asked people to send me pictures of the coop/run so that I can be sure he will be cared for. I've posted to craigslist and many people have flaked on me. Do I need...

    rooster or hen? Wyandotte

    Peanut was sold to us as a female, but we are beginning to wonder they made a mistake! She/he is 17 weeks but has not crowed. We all think think she is looking more rooster-like. Opinions?? I can take differen't pics/videos if helpful.

    integrating chicks with molting chickens/food

    We have integrated out chicks (14 weeks old) into the main flock. They are all eating Purina chick starter/grower until the younger ones are ready for layer feed. Soon after putting them all together I had 3-4 of the older chickens begin molting. Is there enough protein in the food they are...

    logistics of introducing chicks to a surrogate

    We have a broody hen and are introducing her to chicks that are one day old tomorrow. She has never been a mother and feel safer making the introductions during the day so that we can keep watch rather than sneaking them under her at night. Right now she is sitting on 5 unfertilized eggs. Our...

    Two questions, not sure if they are related. Question #1 My Easter Egger Flo had an illness a while back, up until that point she had started laying regularly. She had a collapsed egg and subsequently got sick. We treated her and she improved but shortly after she had crop problems which we...

    Is this Bumblefoot?

    We noticed our Easter Egger, Flo limping a little. We looked at her feet but didn't see any black spots or obvious infection. She has continued to limp for over a week and today when we looked we did see that the right side appears swollen, but still no cut, or black spot. When we looked at...

    hemp/pine combo??

    I have a coop that usually stays very dry and has good ventilation. Lately we've had snow, rain and a lot of humidity. We do deep litter in the coop with pine shavings and usually can manage smell by maintaining a wet/dry balance. The floor of the coop is wood, which I only learned afterwards...

    No eggs at all (is that normal)?

    I have 4 cuckoo marans (roughly 8 1/2 months old). They had begun laying in the spring and we were getting 2-3 eggs a day from them. Over last 6 weeks to a month they have stopped laying all together. I know that when there is less sun light they lay less, but should they have stopped...

    How to withdrawal eggs from one chicken...

    If I need to withdrawal eggs from one chicken and not the others and I cannot tell her eggs apart, is there a way to alter the appearance of the egg to achieve this end??? One of my kids suggested food coloring in the vent which sounded ridiculous to me..... But maybe not???

    9 mo Brahma still not laying

    I have two Dark Brahmas 9 mos old who have not started laying. Is this concerning? I have found one of them in the coop sitting on the dummy egg or other eggs that I'm pretty sure are not hers. Is it possible that now that winter months have set in, they will just hold off until spring...

    Collapsed egg hanging out of vent

    About three days ago we went to check our chickens. Our Easter Egger who is 7 months old had what looked like a long white tube hanging out of her vent. After some research we learned that it was a collapsed egg and subsequently saw egg coming out. Her vent looks normal now. I believe she is...
