Hi, I am looking to see how much people pay for their chicken permits in towns around Nj. I live in Woodbridge and they have recently raised our fee from $35.00 to $75.00 for 5 chickens. I am going to a council meeting to address this issue. I would like to know what everyone else pays and for...

I am new to chickens and have 6 hens about a year old. I have had this issue since roughly the fall. I had one girl who started losing some feathers in the tuft area. Then another and another. Seems like whatever it is is a slow progression. I have cleaned everything out several times. No mites...

I am in NJ and have been looking for washed river sand but can not find anything with that name. Is this the same kind of sand to use in the run? If not, is there a type of sand I can use that can be bought at a big box store? If so, does anyone have a picture of the bag of sand that is...

I don’t have pics of the water set up. I will try tomorrow. They are horizontal nipples, not a lot of water, but it did spread and it was mostly concentrated under where the nipples are but it is also where the corrugated panels overlap from the roof. For now we put a tarp over it in case it’s...

Thank you. Yes, inside the closed area. The hen house where they roost. Ventilation at the top but not the bottom. It is vented at the top on 3/4 sides but nothing on the bottom.

Thank you. That’s what I am wondering. If the waterer is leaking. It is a pvc nipple waterer. Took all the wet frozen bedding out and put pine shavings so they don’t slip all over the floor lining. No smell so it must not have been wet long or too frozen to mold and smell.

Thank you. I have a nipple waterer inside with pvc and 5 gallon bucket attached to it from outside. Floor is covered with food grade plastic liner.

First winter with my flock of 6. Today was the day I figured it would be a good idea to put my heat tape on and the deicer in the bucket. Also, I decided to clean the poop board and turn the hemp in the henhouse which I do weekly. Upon turning my hemp I found that is was completely frozen and...

Cold weather and warm water. A feat to beat. So, I purchased a deicer to help keep the water from freezing but do I also need a water heater? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. TIA

Hi, Yes, for the most part. It was not easy. It took me about 2 months going back and forth with each department because neither department was aware of their responsibilities or that an ordinance even existed.

Thank you so much. Since this plucking seems to happen mostly at night, is it a good idea to put pick no more and aprons on my hens? Will this work?

Thank you. Should I put her and the crate in her coop so she’s more comfortable being with her flock. Also, should I just use water to clean then vetericin and blukote?

So this morning I saw one of my chickens beaks were bloody and thought she was injured. I did not see any injuries yesterday when they were out. I noticed the bloody beaked chicken pecking at another. Well, the other chicken was the one with the injury. Is this from a broken blood feather? What...

Thank you! I will try to catch it in the act and post a video. It’s so hard because you never know when it’s going to happen.

Friends!

I am new to chickens and not sure what is going on with my girls. For the last two weeks I occasionally hear some girls making like a cough or sneeze, I’m not sure. It kind of sounds like a squeaky honk. I don’t know how else to describe it. They are all acting normal. Any ideas? How or what...
