Should I try to avoid where they free ranged before and put them in a new space, so they have less exposure when I put them out in the evenings. (To clarify, I just give them a little outside time like 1-2 hours during the weekdays if it's not raining, and a little more time on the weekends.) I...
Hey Kiki. I give them BSFL very occasionally. Our chick with the wry neck came to us that way in the mail. I have a video of her struggling to stay upright in the box we got her from on the mail. I didn’t do it. She’s WAYYYY better now. I named her Miracle because it seems like a Miracle that...
Should I treat my “older” hens and roo too? I have 4 layers, 2 13-week-old hens and a 1: week old roo. We just started integrating the two “flocks” a couple days ago.

We technically have two, it's the one that the Brahma and Black Copper Maran roo spend the bulk of their time in. We have a 13 ft. tractor on our Eglu, and we are trying to free range them in the evenings. The Eglu we have is the bigger one, and from what I've researched, people can fit 6 of the...
Thanks. Our local NPIP certified hatchery with heritage breeds only has straight run chicks, no autosexed breeds. Seemed like a fun breed to have, and they are beautiful.
Hello! I’m new to backyard chicken. My husband and I live in South Carolina. Our first batch of 4 heritage birds turned out to all be roosters, so we had to rehome them. Now, We have an adult white Americauna hen and adult White Face Spanish hen. We have 10 week old Light Brahma (not sure on...
