I’ve had an automatic door for years and never had a problem. The door is plastic and goes down very slow. There is no way the a chicken could get caught. Mine locks also, which is important, raccoons could possibly lift the door. I couldn’t have chickens if I didn’t have it. I never have...

Thank you for solving the mystery! 👍

Got her as a chick from Hoovers Hatchery three years ago. She lays blue eggs, would like to get more but can’t remember which breed. Green Queen?

Thank you. I don’t use this site very often and I forget how to start a new thread. 🤔

The first two chicks hatched perfectly but Last three quail that had trouble hatching. After three days of trying to get out of shells I carefully helped. Their toes are all drawn up and one has a curved neck. I think it’s from remaining in the shells so long. Anything I can do?

I’ve nine hens that I’ve raised from chicks, they’re all a year and a half or older. One of the hens has started to crow at dawn. ???

He is twice the tall of the hens.

Don’t know what is wrong with my rooster’s comb. I cleaned it and put Neosporin on it. The comb is hard and bloody in spots. Only rooster so no fighting. We did have some cold temps this winter but hens combs are fine.

It was definitely blood but seemed to be in a clear membrane. Not sure which hen it’s from but they are from about seven months to two and a half years. I’ll recheck tomorrow and I think it’s good idea to worm. Thanks!

Im very happy with my setup. The run is behind.

I got both from Meyers and they were the pullets I ordered. They are lovely hens!

I noticed tonight that one of my hens has poop all over her butt. She is eating well and active but her butt is a mess! I didn’t want to catch her tonight and soak and clean her cause its cold outside. Thought I bring her in early tomorrow morning and soak her and clean it up. If it is...

🤦‍♀️??

Have you thought about what you will do with all the roo chicks born that nobody wants?
