    Worms in poop (warning, poop photo)

    Thanks for your insight! Do you throw eggs away after treating this way?

    Worms in poop (warning, poop photo)

    Thank you so much. I’m curious how often members in warm climates deworm and what they rotate with. @dawg53 @coach723 I would love to hear from you about this! What’s your process?

    Worms in poop (warning, poop photo)

    Follow up questions: My Pullets have never been in the main run but their space is attached to the run. Do I need to treat them as well? Is it likely they contracted the worms somehow? And if so, my neighbor who has his chickens in a run just over the fence from me (about 30 feet away) was...

    Worms in poop (warning, poop photo)

    Thank you! I think the safeguard aquasol is most practical for me. I can’t catch and medicate my whole flock every day for 5 days. Am I able to eat the eggs during the treatment period?

    Worms in poop (warning, poop photo)

    My Black copper Maran has been missing feathers on her entire neck and butt for a long time now. At first I thought it was molting but they just aren't growing back. Today while I was in the run I noticed her bottom looked REALLY bad. Way worse than it has (and I check often). When she pooped...

    Hen with chicks already squatting?

    Where are the babies when she’s laying? That’s a busy mom!

    How long did it take?

    Mine was completely over her mom role by 4 weeks and was ready to lay eggs again.

    Barnyard mix gender- just for fun

    Confirmed that the orange colored one in the first photo is a cockerel. He gave me a puny little crow yesterday morning. The black one has me fully leaning cockerel. He’s growing a beard like an Easter egger and his pea comb is very red. Also he’s super aggressive towards the other cockerel...

    Is this molting or bullying?

    Thank you! I’m definitely watching real close now.

    Is this molting or bullying?

    No very few of them have designated spots. Also the more I think about it the more I don’t see how she could be pecked at under her butt like that in the coop. Usually when I have a bully it’s the base of the tail. It started under her butt and front of her neck.

    Is this molting or bullying?

    This is the best I can do. She doesn’t let me near her.

    Is this molting or bullying?

    She’s not up top but she doesn’t seem to be at the bottom of the order. No lice or mites. I’m really careful with the coop and clean/lime inside. No one else is losing feathers. Also want to add I keep my flock on 20% protein feed. Could that keep her laying?

    Here’s a better picture of her neck

    Is this molting or bullying?

    Started with her butt and front neck feathers but today she looks like a naked neck chicken. Hard to see in the photo but her whole neck is basically bare front and back. I don’t see any one really targeting her during the day. Is this just regular molting? She’s still laying.

    Hen with chicks already squatting?

    I still had them in a separate area of the run because the main run has gaps too large for them. They were able to squeeze through. Yesterday mama was pacing the fence line to the main run and started pecking at the littles like she had had enough. So I took her into the main run with the...

    Hen with chicks already squatting?

    My Austra White has been an awesome mom to her 8 babies (3 hatched under her, 5 extra handed to her the next day). They will all be 5 weeks old tomorrow and still very much need her guidance and protection. Yesterday I noticed she started squatting when I got close and again this morning. Is it...

    Barnyard mix gender- just for fun

    The one in the background of the first photo is a sexed Rhode Island Red from Meyer Hatchery. I was suspicious but I looked at photos of my adult Rhode Island when she was the same age and she looked very similar so I’m hopefully it’s a pullet

    Barnyard mix gender- just for fun

    4 1/2 weeks I know it’s early. Just curious what others think. These are from eggs I got from a friend. No idea what breeds they’re mixed with. I’m pretty certain the orange and black one is a boy. It’s much larger than the others (I have 5 others from a hatchery order that hatched the day...
