They are four. They eat all flock feed crumbles. I have two bowls in the run that contains the feed. I’ll trim her butt feathers tomorrow and cut her nails soon. Is there anything else I can help her?

I have a PR who has been getting crooked toes. She’s had a bald butt for a while and I always though it was from the poop build up but instead of new feathers she sometimes gets bumps like a pimple but they get big like almost a grape size. They dissapear after a little bit and she’s always been...

Thank you. Her other foot is fine and I have another PR who’s feet are normal she’s never had a curved toe so I thought it was werid. She just turned 4 a week ago. Her feed routine is normal. I would say they eat a lot. Her butt feathers are trying to grow in. She’s got a bald butt right now...

My PR has a curved toe. I noticed it this morning. I know I have to cut their nails bc they are getting to long and starting to curl. Could that be the problem? Her nail on that toe isn’t too long. She’s walking fine, eating and drinking like normal. I touched it and she didn’t have a problem...

Yes they have oyster shell but barely pick at it. They live egg shells though so I sometimes provide them there own shells! In winter thought they don’t lay eggs so they have to use the oyster shell. I’ll sometimes mix a punch full into their food if I feel like they need to eat some.

I haven’t noticed any lice or mites and try my best to check at night on the roost. They all are just getting back from molting. I don’t think she is being feather pecked, she would be the one pecking others feathers but she does clean her self a lot back there from the weight of the poop. I try...

My PR has always had trouble growing feathers on her behind. I think it’s from poop getting matted and then feathers fall out. Today I saw bumps on her skin. She’s had them before but they usually go away. Are they just feathers growing in? Other than that she eats and drinks and walks just fine.

This morning I believe it stopped bleeding. It’s still a mess but he will usally clean it up by himself with digging and all that. After this is healed I’m going to cut the other spur.

He would lose his mind if I wrapped his leg! But yes I’m going to monitor it. And I’m not sure if it’s still bleeding he went to bed but I’ll check in the morning. He will be fine right? Will it get infected? I believe I have providone iodine. Could I clean it with this more tomrrow? It’s...

My roosters spurs have been getting very ling and have been bugging him when he’s trying to roost. I was going to cut them but yesterday the one spur like half of it broke off but it was the putter layer and I figured I’d let him be until today to cut it when I got home. I got home to find his...

The ground in the run is just dirt so she just lays around a lot

I’ve never had an issue with their nails until today. Her one nail is super long and twisted. They’ve been pretty bored mostly laying around and dust bathing since it’s hot and not much they want to do. Can I use dog clippers to cut it?

Thank you. I have noticed certain hens are loosing many feathers.

I have six hens and one rooster. He causes some feather damage to his favorite girls. That could be one reason their not laying but I’ve also been getting fairy eggs and soft eggs. They have oyester shell but they don’t seem to care for it unless I’m hand feeding it to them. I give them some of...

There in the small run and the big run was a built add on because they needed more room. They have a door to get through and the food and water is in the big run. But the mites are going to move to the area eventually right? The area isn’t totally dry bc it rained the water seems to get in there.

I’ve had food mites before and we bought a freezer and keep the feed in the freezer. This morning I saw mites on the ground in the dirt crawling on wood chips. The chickens spill the feed. I moved the feed but since it’s still outside I’m going to guess the mites will get to it soon. What can I...

Alright I picked the three that were very close together and hoenstly I thought they grew into one another. I’ll let them sit for a little while longer. I bought these as pre planted so separating them was difficult. I know they can still grow in winter so maybe I’ll plant some seeds in rows and...

How do I know their the biggest carrots?😭

I have carrots and banana peppers that I’m not sure if I should pick yet. I planted them a couple months ago not sure the exact date.

Didn’t forget but here’s a picture of the ventilation we put it and the difference it made. Before when I stuck my arm up by the roost you could just feel the heat and humidity that was up there. Now it’s so nice. Not humid or hot. The chickens loved it last night. It was raining so maybe that...
