    Weird color chicken egg

    Hey all, recently one of my younger hens started laying. However she lays very pale eggs. When rubbed off with water the egg goes back to brown. Is this something I should be concerned about? Note: Normal egg on right

    Feed storage

    I’ve been storing feed in a galvanized trash bin for awhile and they are good. I keep it inside the garage. I recently got more chickens, hence more feed. I usually keep the feed inside the bag but now that’s not possible because they don’t fit. Can I just dump the feed straight into the bin...

    How do you store your feed/scratch?

    Went out to Home Depot and got a metal trash bin. Works perfect as we had problems with rats beforehand.

    Chicken fell in water

    last update: I woke up to check in her and she was up and active. Completely back to her normal self, moody and loud. She’s eating and drinking fine. I let her run around a little outside and decided she should go back to her friends in the run. Thank you to everyone for your help!

    Poopy vent

    I meant layer feed/crumbles. I didn’t know that about DE but it sure did help with the fly population. I think I’m going to wash her in a little tub tomorrow to loosen the crusted feathers and see if I can get the rest out. She’s been really cooperative today which really helped me out. Thank...

    Paint fumes

    Hey all, I am having the house painted and I don’t want to have the paint fumes harm the chickens. The chicken coop is about 6-8 feet from the house. Will the fumes hurt the chickens? Should I move them elsewhere? Cover up the coop? If anyone could help me that would be fantastic.

    Hen threw up rattle breathing.

    No that one got better I have led to belive this is sour crop. Or it could be all the birds getting so tiny from the ventatlation change. I feed them just standard grower feed from the store.
