Thanks for your Qs @LaFleche ! I’ve never dewormed the flock (should I??). Last egg was perfect and yesterday, though she’s laid soft eggs before B/c she’s the only one with trouble, it makes me wonder if it’s more like ‘she’s got reproductive/digestive problems’ rather than ‘this is an...

I'm posting here, hoping to draw on your experience and wisdom 🙏 Bloomers is an 11mo old light brahma who i've been keeping my eye on for a week. There was no acute injury or incident that I'm aware of. Field observations: Behavior Often laying down /resting when the rest of the flock is...

Your coop project is awesome! 🤩 Thank you so much for sharing the saga You’ve got this @MACCanadianCoop ! 🙌🏼

So inspired by your article. Thank you @aart 🤗 My light Brahma babes are 3 weeks and have been out in the run since they were 1 week, doing ‘you can see, but no touching’ with the big girls. When I’m back from the long weekend travel, I’ll add their panic doors. Thanks for your awesome article!

Brahmas are so fun to raise! 🤗

I just love this article and have read it several times over the years. Thank you @azygous ! I’m raising my third set of chicks up in Portland, ME. First mail-order babies, so started under a lamp. By day 4 we were taking field trips out to the big girl yard, supervised and with a baby-sized...

We give away whatever we don’t eat

Come on over @dawg53 ! lol

I’m feeding them what our vet (who has a flock of 50) recommended for them. I’ve been watching more closely for pecking- and it’s subtle - but that’s def what’s happening. Bored Brahmas! We can fix this!

Yes! I do that, though I’ve rigged up a bigger grate from an old toaster rack. Thank you @HiEverybirdy !

I think you might be right @dawg53 . I can’t find any mites/lice Brahmas are big! here’s the coop. Six hens live here. You think it should be bigger?
