I kinda got tired of having to change the water in the chicken cook practically every other day, despite using one of those 5USG bucket waterers AND a 25L "flip" style waterer...
There was also a hygiene issue with the bucket, the choocks would sit atop the bucket while sleeping, and that often...
Been trying to hatch eggs for the past two months but haven't had much luck in doing so... All my eggs are Yolkers. No quitters, no development whatsoever.
This is a screenshot from a video, but this is exactly what I'm seeing after 10 days in the Incubator.
I figured it this might be an...
Eggs n' toast, scrambled, sunnyside, boiled, steamed, Shakshuka, cooked into pancakes, waffles, pastries, eggnog, pickled in a jar...
We're a family of seven and we're getting more eggs than we can eat. It's reached a point where I'm the only one eating any. I love eggs, I can eat them for...

I've noticed a general lack of Vit B in most feeds sold here, already tried two brands with similar results.
I used to have a lot of issues with chickens becoming lethargic or having progressively paralyzed legs/wings/necks. Ever since I started adding Vit B Complex to their water these issues...

I'll post the plans soon, just to give a clearer idea of the run/aviary
With that I'm planning on increasing the size of my flock with new breeds (Chicken...
I've had a pullet that hasn't been able to walk for the past week. I though this might've been a leg injury so I set her up in her own with some food and water.
Today I found another pullet with the same symptoms. Laying to the side and unable to get up. I tried picking her up but she always...
I've just had two deaths, one yesterday and one that's still breathing but doesn't look like he's gonna make it this morning.
All of these chicks are Brahmas I've had for more than a month, all extremely healthy and active.
They're being brooded on pine-shavings and sand underneath the coop...
Hi, newcomer to the forums. Read a lot but never posted!
Preface: I live in a very hot climate, it's winter now and it's ~25C. Midday summer (especially July-August) it easily goes up to 45C. I intend to keep 10 chickens in this coop, and will build an attached run for it after I finish setting...
