    Hen tucks head under other chickens

    My birds do this, they will stick their head under the bird next to them and I once walked out to Lavender with a bird under each wing. I don't think it's a dominance thing, Lavender is somewhere in the middle of the pecking order and I've seen higher ranked - including my head hen Basil - and...

    Is it okay to not break a broody hen if we don't have fertilized eggs?

    You can leave her but I don't recommend it. As was already said, being broody is hard on a hen and there's no telling how long she will actually be broody for and while not common, some hens will even starve themselves or leave themselves so weak they fall ill to something. Aside from that...

    Constant Cracked Eggs

    Even so grit is cheap and never goes bad, worst case scenario if they have it is they don't need it and ignore it. Worst case scenario if they don't have it and end up needing is a bird develops crop issues and dies. In theory they should be able to find their own but it's still cheap...

    Constant Cracked Eggs

    All flock and layer are separate types of feed, layer feed has extra calcium added for laying hens while all flock does not. You can feed all flock to laying hens, but they absolutely must have access to oyster shell on the side (actually a good idea whatever you feed) and they must have access...

    Fermented feed for chickens

    Agreed, if you ferment, your birds will be fine If you don't ferment, your birds will also be fine Either way your birds will be fine so do what makes you and them happy. Regardless of health benefits it's a fun way to add a healthy treat to their diet

    Things you wish you could say

    Some locations are definitely more chill than others - ours *is* actually chill as well and I've never heard the lunk alarm go off, that said, drinking from a 1 gallon jug was listed on the sign defining what a lunk is in the gym even though in practice I doubt anyone cares, even so it's just...

    Lunk alarm, it's an alarm that employees can sound off at lunks. Sure, some of the stuff is etiquette such as not hogging machines which is fine but it also includes stuff like grunting too loudly while lifting and drinking from a 1 gallon jug. It's supposed to foster a less intimidating...

    That the gym I go to isn't closing down. Yes, there are 2 other gyms in the area but they are more out of my way and one is a planet fitness..... Granted, ours isn't bad, but it doesn't have the same chill vibes (and individual restrooms with showers) that the gym I go to has, and besides, I...

    Chewy has free shipping on orders of 50 bucks or more. I buy 2 bags at a time and whatever else I need for the other animals to get to the order minimum

    Steak

    Better than live worms and it's just added protein. I've eaten weirder things intentionally, weirdest IMO being a whole baby octopus at an Asian buffet when I was a teen. Tasted pretty bland btw. The fact that it doesn't taste like much until you add something to it is probably why octopus is...

    Steak

    That's....very dangerous. It's one thing to eat an intact piece of meat rare as the chances of the inside having something nasty are small but the chances of something like ground beef having something nasty are much higher. I hope for their sake they ground the meat themselves else they are...

    Trans chicken?

    Sounds to me like she has a reproductive issue going on. This sometimes happens, especially in older hens. Just keep an eye on her but there's likely no cure for whatever is going on

    Steak

    Even so, I will still cook it until it's well done. I'm taking no chances with a parasite that deadly

    Chicken found dead, no obvious cause, new chicken owner, advice appreciated

    Way too much, treats and extras should be less than 10% of their diet, especially scratch, if you want an alternative to scratch kalmbach henhouse reserve is a whole grain mash layer feed, my birds go nuts for it but it's actually a complete feed and won't throw off their diet, if you ferment...

    Steak

    I mean, I will eat medium rare steak nowadays but it's still not really my preference and I do not like rare. I'd rather steak be more done than less And if we are talking game animals like deer, well done or nothing. I may take a chance eating decently rare domesticated bovine but wild game...

    Chicken found dead, no obvious cause, new chicken owner, advice appreciated

    You can have your state poultry extension perform a necropsy if you're worried but if she wasn't sick and nobody is sick/gets sick or dies then I'd write it off as a random one off
