    Snack Feed

    I was buying a snack mix for my chickens, it was corn, some grain seeds, oats, and meal worms (something to that effect). Anyways, I wanted to just make my own bigger match of snack mix for them. Lately I was doing meal worms, a scoop of chicken scratch, dried oregano, and some Feather Fixer...

    Molting, Chicken Saddles, & Grumpy Chicks

    Molting, Chicken Saddles, & Grumpy Chicks

She goes into these cute chicken sneezing fits (you can hear her sneezing across the yard and it’s adorable) but today I heard her wheezing a little while breathing. I was wondering if she had something blocking her nasal passage...

    Mean hen

    Of course, after typing this she let one of the Reds in the nesting box with her. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ that was quite the surprise! I’m wondering if she just gets mean and wants privacy when she needs to lay an egg. Like “everyone out! I need to lay an egg!!!”

    Mean hen

    I could use a little help with a rude hen. I’m assuming she is alpha cause all the others coward to her, but she is the smallest and fiercest. She definitely hates my RIR. If she goes in the coop and they are in ANY box, she rips them out by the back of their necks! She pecks at others and...
