I’m traveling and just got a call from my spouse that something got one of my newer girls, a darling little frizzle named Cannoli. She was a good bird, and had just started laying pretty green eggs. I feel really sad, and guilty that I’m away and that something about our setup put her at risk...

My ~5 month old bantam frizzle Cannoli is sick. She has not yet started laying. I have seven chickens total and the rest seem fine. I did not check on the birds yesterday so I just noticed something was off a couple of hours ago. I'm noticing the following symptoms: Very hard, but movable crop...

Selling one year old Omlet Walk-in Pet Run in good condition. Includes two heavy duty clear run covers and two green run covers. Manufacturer photo of the run (correct size) below. I'm willing to negotiate price! Pick up only, and I'll sell it for less if you do any necessary disassembling for...

I noticed this evening that one of my pullets has a yellow spot on her foot that appears slightly swollen. Does this look like the beginnings of a bumble foot infection or something else? And if it is, what are my next steps? Note: she’s walking normally and not limping. Sand bedding in the...

My EE pullet, about six months, has this grey spot on the top of her comb that just appeared in the last day or two. We have no roosters and I don’t notice much if any pecking between my hens. I think she is approaching her first lay quickly. She’s acting normal and silly as usual. Any ideas...

I'm so excited! My all white EE just laid her very first egg! It's the first egg from my flock! I noticed recently she started doing that little squat thing when I would try to pet her, and also that her comb got a bit larger and more red, but it's a pea comb and very tiny still. Today I...

I have four 18 week old EE pullets that haven't started laying yet and (except one) have very little comb and wattle development. I got them each when they were about 3-7 days old. We had a wet cold spring here in the PNW, with no real warmth or dry out period until mid-June. Up until this...

Do you think it's possible to screw into the plastic to attach a hasp and staple for a padlock on both the rear door and the egg port door? Do you think screws would hold well directly in the plastic? Would that introduce leaks or other issues I haven't considered? Or have you come up with other...

Suspicious. Very suspicous.

I recently acquired 4 Easter Egger chicks, all supposed to be pullets. I'm not allowed to keep roosters where I live, but this one is giving me rooster vibes based on posture and attitude. This chick is by far my favorite of the bunch. Very much in love with him/her already. It's just shy of...

Hi, my name is Ashley. I live in Portland, OR. Just got my first chicks today, excited to learn and be a part of the community!

This is my first time raising chicks! I took home two today vaccinated against Marek's and coccidia. I am planning to take home two more next weekend who will not be vaccinated against coccidia. My chicks are in a brooder inside. Can I keep my new chicks with my current chicks? Should I feed...
