Since the temps are going to be 60+, and they're able to get to the coop/shelter, I would. They may be dumb yet and get a little wet before they figure out they should run for cover, but it's not cold so they'd huddle up and dry off. The three-week-old ones worry me though unless they've been...

I'm always hatching so will coordinate the batch I'd have around that time to set on the appropriate date.

Whatever it is, it's not all of your hens obviously, so if possible, you could mark each hens eggs differently. That is tough to do I'm sure, but if you could at least get a few of each marked, that should be enough to tell you, and you can go from there. I do not know of anything a hen could...

Hiya again, and welcome to BYC!! :frow I have the best luck by posting my chicks in the poultry groups I belong to on Facebook. I'm in about 5 for my state/area.

Yup, sure looks and sounds like it is. I'd give her a bath a couple of times a day and put some Monistat creme or equivalent all around her butt end. Feeding her probiotics will help too, like sugar-free Greek yogurt, or those powders for their water.

Adorable! You might want to post these in the Tennessee thread too. Welcome to BYC! :frow

Thanks for no warning, Jen. I literally spit out my coffee. :gigI loved it! ❤️

Hiya, Sarah, and welcome to BYC!! :frow Pretty chickens!! We have a forum you can post those in if you're still not sure what they are.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!! :frow We'd love to see pictures if you have any to share!

61 now. We had a shocking high of 82. Low 42F. Air quality alert...Canada fires, again.

So beautiful! That looks like so much fun!

You can use Tums and crush it but I'd mix it in a little bit of yogurt or small amount of mash. You need to make sure she eats the whole thing. If you get the Calcium supplement, that's best to give to her whole and see @LaFleche's post for how we do that.

Hiya, and a belated welcome to BYC...like about 8 years. :frow Well met! Roxie sure sounds special!

That is gorgeous! Guessing it's a satin chocolate cuckoo silkie?
