Interested in a 6+ month old rooster for my flock, please message me!

Hi there, I bought Barred Rock pullets. The whitest one I think is a cockerel but not sure about the others. They are 3 weeks old.

I will do that next! 20% chick starter crumble

Hi, I've got a week old chick who is breathing heavy, sticking its head up and seems to be gasping for air. Once in a while it squeaks when trying to cheep, doesn't sound raspy or have any eye or nose discharge so I don't think it's a respiratory illness. It's crop feels firmer and small unlike...

Thanks for the feedback. I should note that her previous grain, Nutrena Hearty Hen, is also soy free. I don't think she's holding off for treats. Before yesterday she was not eating at all. Yesterday since she seemed a little brighter and finally ate other things and free ranged. I think if she...

Here's my recent update. I haven't gotten a fecal done on her yet because the local vets want an exam which is $100+ I'm not willing to spend yet. She's brighter and seems like she's having a mix between semi-firm and loose poop. Still a greenish color but more white now. This feels like...

Hi! :) In June I am getting 70+ chicks in the mail. I'm looking for a list of "essential supplies" I should keep on hand for these babies in anticipation of problems that need immediate treatment? I do have some various probiotic packs and things like that but I'm wondering if anyone has a good...

Hi there! We're designing our 12x16 chicken coop. The plan is to build it on a concrete base or on gravel and then have it up on concrete blocks. We're wondering what your coop is sitting on and what you'd recommend? The location for the new coop can get a little squishy when we get several...

What kind of reproductive problem could she have and is it something that can be reasonably treated? I'll call my local vet to do a fecal float. Thanks for your knowledge and advice.

She eats poulin egg production plus grain and I feed the chickens some scratch a rew days a week (sunflower seeds, mealworms, scratched corn, and a 5 grain scratch from tractor supply mixed together)

That makes sense, to me it's interesting that she's had it for so long with no improvement, and now that she's had a little molt it hasn't seemed to improve. Haven't seen anyone pecking it or anything

This is how she looked when I got home from work with fresh diarrhea. It's raining and she had just been standing in it before I took this pic

Do you have other goats to keep him company?

Will try to get pics tomorrow. She's 1 1/2 years old. Not sure when she laid last, I have over 20 hens and some are molting so about half are laying. She hasnt laid while being separated which has been about 4 days. She feels the same to me. Thanks!

Hen had diarrhea all over her back end. I soaked her and cleaned it off. Now she's in her own coop and run for monitoring. Diarrhea seems to be reduced but now it's green and yellow. I am adding Corid to the water. She's not eating and I'm not sure what the next steps are!

Hi there Later this year I'll be selling 7 golden comets around 2 years old. They will likely still be laying but at 2 years old we'd be replacing them with younger ones to keep egg production up. How much would you list these birds for? Lots of people in my area looking for retirement birds...

She is molting now, how will molting improve the injury?

Hi chicken experts, hoping you can give me some advice as I'm not very experienced with chicken injuries! In the fall we had a rooster who was over breeding the hens so I sent him away. This was his favorite hen. I thought with time it would heal up but it's been a few months and looks the...

Hi there, I sent you a text!

Great! I think he'd be perfect. I live an hour and a half from you, can we meet half way?
