    Is anyone aware of any efforts to change Florida's Backyard Egg sales laws (Limited Poultry Permit: https://www.fdacs.gov/content/download/64357/file/Limited-Poultry-and-Egg-Operation-Requirements.PDF) The law here requires eggs only be solid if the seller has a permit, only sells them in...

    Bulk feed! Man they eat a lot!

    I’m on a quest—an epic journey, if you will—seeking the holy grail of chicken feed! My flock devours about 1 ton of food every six months, and I’m looking for sources that provide bulk non-GMO feed, ideally corn and soy free. Bonus points if the company delivers because my chickens have taken on...

    Injured rooster can't stand up

    I have a rooster that appears to be injured. I believe it's his hip or thigh on the left hand side. He cannot stand up and he lays on his right supporting himself with his wing out. This is a 5-month-old Bielefelder. He will eat an 81 mg aspirin right out of my hand, so we have given him that...

    Anti-roost cones for Tidy Cat. Bucket

    We have attached nipples to tidy cat litter buckets for our waters. They are a simple DIY and relatively inexpensive. So far, so good. But I can't find any anti-roost cones to fit them. If you use this same homemade waterer what do you use for a cone?

    Sick hen. I think shes dying

    I have a very sick 1 year old hen that I found motionless in the run this morning. She doesn't appear to be egg bound and there are no sign of mites. I brought her in and gave her a bath. She won't move. If I lay her on her side. She just stays there. She finally pooped and it was mostly water...

    Listless cream legbar

    We have a 1-year-old cream leg bar hen. I think she's dying. For the last few days she has been trying to sleep in the egg boxes but not acting broody. She has not plucked herself. And she wasn't in the egg boxes during the day just at night. Today, she's in the run and barely walking. She...

    Foot problem

    This is our one year old cream legbar roosters foot. David does not think it's bumble foot because it doesn't have a hard lump inside it. It also doesn't appear to have compromised any. There is no apparent injury. And he isn't acting like he's in pain. Any feedback on what this is. This is...

    CoopCrate?

    I just signed up for CoopCrate and was wondering if anyone had used them before? I'm a little concerned that there is no "Log-in" to check order status, etc. But I'm excited to try it. I guess if it's a scam, I'll only be taken once and will dispute it with the credit card. But I'm eager to see...

    Are these eggs problematic?

    We are candling eggs - day 14 and came across these two eggs. The first one is a video, so I could try to show the shadowy movement. Is this normal? It doesn't look like the other eggs. Please forgive the music. It was to drown out background music: Has this egg died? I don't see any growth...

    We have lots of oyster shell and feed egg shells back. We also feed an all flock due to mixed ages and cockerels. All other eggs are normal - and thick shell. What causes this?

    What breed is this?

    So, I got four chicks from a local feed store. They were all supposed to be sapphire olive eggers. However, this one looks nothing like the other. Any clue as to what she is? I've looked at Hoover's website and am stumped. David thinks Barred Rock? She was hatched in November. We got her in...

    Sex linked? Cream legbar roo x Lavender Amerecauna

    A few days ago, I asked about a cream legbar hen and Australorp offspring. Today, a chick hatched that I know is from an Lavender Amerecauna. The father is either a cream legbar rooster or an Australorp rooster. The hatchling is mostly black with a white dot. To my knowledge, neither cross is a...

    Sex link male or female?

    Our 5 month old broody hatched two chicks. The babies are a cream legbar mother and Australorp father. Are these chicks sex linked? If so, am I right to assume this one is a male? Thanks!

    Chicks holding wings oddly

    We recently received 4 female Silver Bielefelders, 2 male from Greenfire Farms. I attached a photo of one of the males holding his wings away from his sides. We noticed that all of the chicks are holding their wings like this at all times. None of our other chicks from other breeds are doing...
