My girls have some tapeworm segments/eggs (the little white dots that move like zombies) in their poop. I’m in the process of worming them with zimecterin gold horse paste, once and then again in 10days. I’m about a week into my first dose & it’s killing me to toss the eggs. Does anyone ever eat...

I like to have 3 hens, that’s the amount I need in order to feed myself & frankly all I have space for. That being said, i just lost one of my hens to being egg bound and two days later a friend had a red sex link pullet she wanted to gift me. I know it would have been better to get two but my...

They don’t freerange enough to have been able to lay a hidden egg and she’s acting completely normal. I picked...

My chickens are all acting and laying healthy at the moment, but I previously had a hen lay two soft eggs back to back and it got me thinking about their daily diet. They currently have their own shells that I feed bad to them in their coop at all times but would making a little treat where I...
