I will do it... Thank you very much... She stayed in the broody crate over night in the coop with others. And as soon as I put her out in the yard, she was attacked again. :-( Their food sources is in the coop with pipe tube. They do not eat much of that food. Maybe because they get too much...

Another question. Maybe I am not doing right. They always have their organic layer food , oyster shell and stone are available in the coop. They free range at backyard. I also give some vegetable mix, dry worm, scratch food, cooked rice with dry herbs, cayenne pepper and calendula, marigold in...

Thank you. Ok. I have separated the nasty 2 ones for a while in vegetable garden. I put her outside, she hanged out little bit. Went back to nest.

Thank you for the answer. Yes, younger ones joined 4 months ago after introduction period. They were ok.. Then I have seen they pick on Hazel. the one is acting broody. She had patch of feather loss at top of her head. I wondered about that , if she is in the nest, because maybe it is the only...

One of my chicken , Bella was walking like penguin March 18, 2017. Not much eating. After some research, I thought it is egg binding problem. I gave her spa treatment with epsom salt, extra calcium, checked if the egg is stuck at the exit with lubricant, that was not. I took her nursery. She...

Hi..I have 6 backyard chickens. Had anyway. All speckle sussex. I live in Birmingham, AL. Temperature goes up to 100 F during the day. Nights are little better. As soon as coop door open automatically, they free range in the back yard. 22nd July, one of my chicken has died at night in the...

I hope it turns out the way you wish for. yes, some has big wattles/combs, some very small. So, fingers crossed for your Sussex. :-)

After a few days later, she (Ebru) perked up... be herself again, bossing all other 5 around. Colors came back. Yay... I gave corid for 5 days with their water. And put electrolysis (might be spelling wrong) thingy in their water.

Mountain Peeps, you were right :-D She just has big wattle and comb.

Well, they all turned out to be females...Even the one in this tread. And they are aaaaallllll lovely.

Thanks for the reply. It is hot here, I mean darn hot and humid. Alabama. 95 F. They have plenty shades around the backyard. Sands for their pleasure and sort. However she was not panting. Just slow, still forage, not sure she eats much. I have good ventilation in the coop (fan) to take the...

I have a hen, named Ebru. Yesterday, I have seen suddenly the wattle, combs and around eyes are light pink than red. She is normally boss of the other 5 hens. But . yesterday she was slow, not much interested on food. But drinking water instead. She went to roost , others did not want to roost...

I have 6 speckle Sussex too as backyard chicken. They are beautiful, very smart, curious, funny. Well, they also do tiny egg. And I really don't mind if it will not get larger since it will be easier for them than huge eggs coming out from their torso. They give me presents a lot that I can just...

Thanks for the opinion. Well, it is very thin sprinkle of DE in their bedding right now. Just in case. More Sweet PDZ, 3/4 inch high Pine shaving... But, probably I can avoid until they are out.

Thank you for the information. I made Oyster Shell available last night.. Egg shells as described, prepared... Got layer feed, organic non-gmo scratch grains. Will do some mix with herbs, probiotic, kelp, yeast and start feeding with that. I was adding some part of pellet that is for...
