I have a speckled Sussex about 24-36months old. He is not interested in mating. Hasn’t meen in about 6 months. The hens will back up to him and squat then shake their tail feathers and he is clueless. Like he is no longer interested he is huge and big combed so I wouldn’t have thought it was...

So I know you can spray coops and chickens with permethrin but what about the grass and ground where the chickens eat in?

So I have looked all over the web and found countless contradiction. I’m helping a buddy build a coop and we were looking at roosts. He hasn’t received the chickens yet but he wants to make sure everything is built before they arrive. What should dimensions be. He has some left over 1x3s that...

So I have an egg chirping for the past 24 hours but no cracks. If I chirp on the outside it responds. How much longer? Do you think she’ll pop out by her self?

So I happened to see one of the chickens poop out this fatty object. It was white and hardish like a piece of fat. What could that be?

This is probably a better place to put this I was walking by the vitamin section at TSC and saw a permethrin aerosol can for barns and coops. That can’t be safe for their lungs can it? They also say for hotel use???? ??? ??? Really?! Haha What is y’all doing experience and knowledge?

So I have a RIR that went broody! I was told that was bred out of them. She’s also a young one. But by far the aggressive momma! I just had one hatch out a clutch and so I’m only gonna allow her to hatch out 2-3 chick. Less I have to get rid of.
