I just saw all these bugs in my coop! Never had this before....what are they? HELP!!!

Good morning! I have a Hen that is 8 months old and has been sitting on eggs for 4 days...if she successfully hatches the chicks, do I need to remove them all to a separate area or will she protect them from the other hens and rooster? This is all a first time thing for me and her :).

I'm a Greenie :). My 44 - 4.5 month old hens are just beginning to lay eggs. Some of them have speckles and other markings. Is this normal? I just want to make sure that it doesn't mean they are lacking anything in their diet. Thanks for your help in advance!

This little girl is 4.5 weeks old and we just noticed today that her beak does not line up. She seems able to eat...but I feel so bad for her.....is there anything we can do to help her?

The only thing I've been feeding them is the Chick Starter and Chick Grit and once a day I give them scrambled eggs. At what point can I start to introduce kitchen scraps and other food?

Well, it's been a while since I have been here....originally we were going to get the OMLETTE Coop, but we decided against that, and ended up having our Amish friends make us a coop...it's pretty much finished, a couple little things I still have to do... Our Baby Chicks came 2 weeks ago....we...

Hi! I am cancelling my order for two OMLET's and have decided to build a COOP for 50 chickens instead. My reason for having chickens is to collect alot of manure for my garden. I'm a vegan and don't eat eggs or chickens :). So, I'm trying to decide what would be a good Coop plan and would...

I'm glad I found your forum. I'm very new to chicken raising. I'm a vegan, and love gardening so I'm into chickens for their poop :). I just ordered 2 of the Omelet Portable Chicken Coops and have 14 chickens that are coming the end of the month. I'm really excited about this! I'm sure I'll...
