Hen is just 6 months old. They eat a purina product layer pellet - I’ll need to check in the morning. They’ve been vaccinated. Others have been added but also vaccinated and same hatchery. Not injured. I believe an illness. Ok on super b. Will get tmro thank you
Hi - seeking advice. We have a hen who can no longer walk upright on feet and is now walking on “elbows”. Almost like legs are becoming paralyzed. What is causing this? Coop is clean. Healthy food. Free range. Water changed daily. Flock was vaccinated at birth.
Any advice would be helpful.
Each plate was 119 dollars and I bought them on Amazon. If you give me about 2 weeks I’ll give you my honest review. In the past, I’ve used lamps - these had great reviews and allegedly much safer.
Hi
I’m using two 16 x 24 adjustable brooder heating plates. It’ll provide 95 degree heat at first and I can raise each week as needed until they no longer require.
Hi chicken community! It’s been a while ❤️
We recently moved and are starting up our chicken farm, again.
I just built a large coop (can handle 75 birds) and we get our first batch or 26 day olds this week.
Question - basement or garage first few weeks? Basement warmer. I do have heat...
I have the same problem!! 17 hens, 10 of which are layers. For the past 2 weeks, my only (2) blue-egg layers (Ameracaunas) have stopped production! They are active, eat well, have space, no changes, healthy. Just NO EGGS. What gives?
hi - still selling ducks? looking for productive egg layers and friendly for backyard environment. will share space with chickens (and a 5 year old son) :)
Great thread - I'm in the same boat. Have roosters that are 12 weeks but one is crowing (loudly) and I'm a bit concerned with neighbors.
Also - is there a recommended YouTube tutorial for first time butchering?
Thanks all
There are 4 in the pic. The 2 middle ones are Pullets? The black one on top and red on bottom...both roosters?
Thank you for your help!
Today I heard a definitive stab at a crowing! I did not see who did it (have 15 chicks) surprised they are vocal already. ❤️
