    Why to NEVER leave dead eggs in the incubator.

    Lesson learned. On October 7th, I put 6 eggs under a broody hen. Only 1 survived. At least I thought it did. That one egg had a very thick shell, therefore I couldn't see much in it so I kept it underneath the hen just in case. Yesterday would have been the day before lockdown, so I candled...

    Chicken gasping for air

    Hello, I'm posting this thread because I work on a petting farm, and while I was at work yesterday, I saw a barred rock hen gasping for air. She just stands there and reaches out her neck and opens her beak super wide to get air. I don't think she was choking, because she was eating fine...

    Hi there, I've seen so many recipes on frozen treats for chickens, like corn in a muffin tin, or even frozen fruits and veggies in a bowl of water. However, I have seen controversy on this. I've seen many sources that say that frozen stuff for chickens will in fact do more harm than good. I've...

    Wondering if I can use pine needles in nest boxes

    Hello guys, for my 5 yrs of chicken keeping I have used pine shavings in the nesting boxes the whole time. However, they KEEP KICKING THEM OUT, making me put new pine shavings in the nest boxes pretty often. So I've seen those nesting box pads, but those are way too expensive for us. The nest...
