    White sac passed from vent

    First time having a sick one and I’m not sure if I did this right. Yesterday she had a tube looking sac coming out of her vent. I gave her a mash with a crushed up tum. Today she was still on the roost when the other ladies had all come out to range. I made the soak box this morning and stuck...

    Feather pecking

    Hello, I got a few new chickens over a week ago that are about 12 weeks old. Anyway the Welsummer came with a bare tail head, which the last warned me about. On further inspection of all the birds two other ones also had feather pecking of their tail base. I caught the culprits. Splash Marans...

    Old English Bantams

    What color are our OEB and are they game? What’s the difference? I can’t recall what the man told us that we bought from. Thanks!

    Do I need to bathe her to get this poop off or would brushing it out work?

    The Extras

    I am trying to decide what I want to put my oyster shell, grit and egg shells in. I see this feeder on Amazon and like the idea of the lid and the divider. It’s like $34 which seems pretty outrageous to me but I can’t find anything like it for cheaper. Right now I feed them in small metal dog...

    Which breed is she?

    Australorp or jersey giant? Previous owner wasn’t sure which she was. I took a pic of the feet because I read that was how you tell but those feet look gray to me 😂

    Curious explorers

    Two of my six girls. Twenty is my Bielefelder. Ruler of the roost or flock. 😂 She is always the first to come running when I walk in the run. She is the first to try anything new out. She is also the only one besides the Silkie that will let me pet her. I named her Twenty because she cost $20...

    Healthy looking?

    Hello everyone. Does this girl look healthy? I feel like her comb is a bit lighter color than the other ladies. She is not laying yet and the other three that I brought home at the same time are up to daily laying. Just wondering if something could be going on with her. Do I need to take better...

    Mixed flock with one silkie

    Hello again. I have a question on feeding my flock of six. I have all different breeds. I have read the silkies need to eat at least 20% protein but better to have 22%. So do I need to buy an all flock feed or meat bird feed? and just make sure to give the crushed shells back to them so they...

    Conver lt into a coop

    Who is a good sketch artist? 😝 I want to turn this into a new coop. My thoughts are putting 4 nest boxes on the back side. Wrapping the bottom and right side with chicken wire or good paneling to keep predators out. Making a ramp from the small side door on the right for them to get in and out...

    Hello, I have been out of the chicken game for awhile. Last Saturday we picked up 6 beautiful hens. I just wanted to introduce them. :) They are doing great and we already have been getting one egg daily since Sunday which I am pleasantly surprised by. I’m already addicted and wanting to add...

    Buff Orpington?

    Hello, Just getting back in the chicken game. Someone on a fb group is selling these as buff Orpington. When trying to google how to tell the difference between a rooster and a hen I don’t see any black on the buffs in the google pictures. Could these be a cross?

    Chicken not wanting to walk

    Hello We brought home some year old chickens yesterday and one is not wanting to walk. We sorta rescued them (which I'm guessing was a bad idea) they were in very cramped pens. What can I do for her? I am thinking I may even have to syringe some water in her mouth because it doesn't look like...
