I like to use egg shells in my gardens for extra calcium but did you know you can use them to start your seeds in? It’s a great trick as you plant the whole thing, shell and all . It provides calcium for your plants through-out the growing season. Especially good for tomatoes! You have to break...

Hi there BYC peeps. I have a Light Brahma hen about 6 months old who started coughing (and a little sneezing at first) at about 4 months old. She seemed to do it after eating her crumble. She scarfs her food and I assumed after looking her over and finding no other symptoms , that it was due...

Can someone explain to my why my 2 SLW hover over and peck the head of my CLB while my Roo mounts and breeds with her? The SLWs are very dominant pullets and this CLB is the lowest in the entire flock order. I have 12 hens and one roo and this is the only bird I have seen them do this to. Is...

Hi , I have an accidental cockerel that is really a nice bird. He’s not aggressive with me but he is too rough with my hens. Today he’s getting separated and I don’t think he’ll be happy. He is around 13 weeks old as are my pullets and he is chasing and pulling feathers and not respecting them...

Hi there Chicken peeps, I am painter who dabbles in photography and I took these shots today of my 11 week olds developing plumage. My daughter loved them and ordered two large framed prints for her apartment. She thought I should put them on ETSY but I have always hesitated putting any of my...
