    Ear Canker/Ear Infection

    Any guidance on home remedies for ear canker? I tried cleaning with hydrogen peroxide and some aquaphor. Will Benadryl help? Going to the vet is not an option. Trying to find all homeopathic options. Should I drain it?

    Egg Layer is Bullying

    As of last week all my chickens roosted on the top bar. I noticed my Isa started roosting on bottom bar. I’ve been going thru video but didn’t see any issues that day. A few days later on camera I saw my White Leghorn hop off top roost to bottom roost and viscously attack my Isa. Since then she...

    Pullet limping

    She seems to be putting a little more weight on it today but still limping. After a little investigation, my son admitted to trying to catch her to hold her. Though sweet intentions, I think she injured her knee in the process of escaping. Beyond sad. I read I can give her baby aspirin for pain...

    Her pad is clear of cuts. No scabs. No rooster. The roost bars are 19 inches and 29 inches. And the swing in the run is 19 inches.

    Night sense disturbed by storm

    Tonight a storm came through causing the evening to get darker much faster. As a result our Omelet door closed @ 7pm versus the usual “sunset” (approx 8:30 pm at the moment). When I went out to get food and water I saw that none had gone in. I grabbed each one and put them in but it made me...

    Hooked Beak/Gender - Ameraucana?

    Can anyone shed light on Ameraucana? I was told it was a pullet, nervous it’s a Roo. And why does it have a hooked beak? Only one that will pinch me when feeding from my hand.

    New pullets to my pullet flock

    I have 3mo old pullets for two weeks now (flock of 7). I added 2 more pullets yesterday - 2.5 mo old and 2 mo old (now a flock of 9). I know to segregate in crate, but I couldn’t help myself and let the news ones for a little - all on medicated feed. I quickly learned that was a bad idea. 3 of...

    Intro - night logistics

    It’s predator proof…but I fear temptation and drive. Guessing the fact that I’m on week 2 with no predator issues as a good sign 🙏🏻.

    Intro - night logistics

    Hi all! I recently got 8 pullets. 1 died and I want add 2 more pullets. I understand that best practice is quarantine. Can that be done in a dog crate within the run? And do they sleep in the crate? How big of a crate is needed?
