    No eggs

    So I’ve had her for about 40 days. 27 of those days being in quarantine. After quarantine she began being brought out every morning and kept in the seperate run that’s attached to the other part so the flock can see her but not get to her. I’m just worried she hasn’t laid a single egg. She...

    A rescue

    So a friends chickens got demolished by something (thinking racoon). All but one made it through and the wife and I decided to rescue her. So now she’s in quarantine city in the dog crate in my garage. She seems wary of people but she also seems extremely docile and chill. She will eventually be...

    Paint?

    So I’ve had these chickens for a few years now. I’ve learned from my mistakes…like putting bands on them when they are babies so I can tell them apart down the road lol. I’ve had a chicken I’ve been trying to get back in with the rest of her flock who was molting then got bullied, long story...

    6 weeks later

    6 weeks ago I took her out of the run. Since then she’s been getting a constant diet of meal worms, oats, the occasional egg and other scraps. She’s definitely been spoiled. I’m here to ask your thoughts though on when she can move from a dog crate in my basement back to her nice big run/coop...

    Questions about care.

    So my mighty girl started molting, her friends decided to take advantage of her and bully her. I’ve got her quarantined and she’s being cared for but my question here is…do I turn the lights off at sunset for her or will it not matter? The room she is in if I turn off the light will be pitch...

    2nd year

    So this is my 2nd year with chickens. Didn’t give into chicken math, only stuck with four. I recently decided to expand their space though. This second area will start as an infirmary seeing as I’ve got two chickens with mystery cuts on their feet. After it will be opened up for all four to...

    Raw fish.

    I saw a few things about being able to feed my girls raw fish, but nothing about deboning them. Does anyone know if that should be done or can I throw it in whole, head and all? Going to be giving them a trout if that makes any difference. Tyia

    Stringing tomato’s!

    I was wondering if anyone has strung their tomato’s up before and if so if you think something like this would work? Most of the videos I’ve seen use twine and it looks like they do that to wrap around the actual branches for support? With these it’s more fishing line with adjustable tension so...

    Nesting Boxes

    I was just wondering, my barred rock chickens are getting CLOSE to the time of being old enough to start laying eggs. So when does everyone remove their barricade for their nest boxes and when and how do you know to add the crushed oyster shells into their diet? TYIA

    Questions about the roost bar!

    Hey everyone! So I’ve got a question and need a solution. Maybe two questions lol. Who am I kidding I’m full of them that’s why I’m here! My first issue is my girls who are 8 weeks old at night don’t seem to want to go back in the coop from the run. My wife and I have had to put them in there...

    Week 7 opinions?

    My birds are week 7 tomorrow and i was wondering what people’s thoughts are on putting them out in the coop soon to get them acquainted to it. I’ve been extremely hesitant especially with the weather. They seem to have a tiny bit of down left so I figured I’d get some more experienced peoples...

    Thoughts on lattice?

    Recently I came across some plastic lattice. I was wondering what people with experience in predators thinking is about maybe putting the lattice on one side and if it would possibly work but maybe also save me a little hardware cloth? TYIA!

    Coop opinions

    Recently we have decided to take on chickens in our road to being a little more self sustainable. I was looking for any general input or advice that can be given about my Coop. Anything you might add or change. It will be housing four hens max. I’m starting to doubt myself after basically...
