So I’ve been storing my chicken food in my basement and recently it flooded and got all of my food wet. I know I can’t use it now because of mold, but what do I do with it now? I don’t want to dump it in the woods because there’s a fox around, but I feel like I’d be wasting it throwing it out...

Both of my Guinea fowls (Gibby and Guppy) have been attacked by an animal while I wasn’t at home. I definitely regret leaving them out of my supervision and I’ll be more careful in the future. The mystery of what killed my guineas stump me. I’m in central Pennsylvania and we have an...

Okay so I have 4 buff Orpingtons, 2 have combs and are laying. The other 2 don’t even have growing combs yet. I have 1 Easter egger that lays green eggs and she’s quarantined by herself right now. I have 1 female Guinea fowl and she’s 14 weeks old. I found this super tiny brown egg and I was...

My Easter egger hen, Chip, has been acting slow and lethargic. I believe it’s because I left the tops of strawberries in their treat, but I’m also wondering if she could be egg bound. She has been drinking a lot of water and just standing still and closing her eyes. Any advice on how to help her?

This is my buff Orpington, Plum. She just started laying eggs between this week and last week. Today I realized that she had been gone all day. I feel like a bad chicken mom but I figured she’d turn up. She didn’t. I free range my chickens and I’m probably going to keep them in the run even...

So this is my rooster, Moo, and his Orpington girls. If I were to let my hens go broody and hatch some chicks, what color would they be?

I have an EE cockerel and recently he’s breed trying to mate my hens a lot. I have 5 Orpington pullets and 1 EE pullet. Is that enough as a hen-to-roo ratio?

So I have 5 20w/o buff Orpington pullets and 2 EEs. My cousin told me to get rid of my EE cockerel and they’ll start laying. I find that hard to believe because my rooster is generally nice. My family keeps peer pressuring me to get rid of him, and my mom told me she refuses to eat a fertilized...

Alright, so I have 7 chickens and 2 Guinea fowl, and they all end up on the porch/deck/patio in the 2 seconds I’m not watching them. Any ideas on how to keep them away from the porch?

This is Moo, and I’m giving him away for free. This is because I can’t have any roos and I was traumatized after killing my other roo. He is a 13 week old Easter Egger cockerel and he is very nice. He lets me pet him and pick him up if he’s close enough. He has only crowed a few times so far...

Today I had to use the cervical dislocation method on my rooster. This is the first time I’ve done it and I feel really bad, traumatized even. If you’ve killed a chicken before, how do you cope with it? I can’t stop thinking about it.

These are my two guinea keets. They’re about 6 weeks old and I’m wondering if they’re both little hens. I got them from my aunt so I’m not sure.

These are my two 12 week old cockerels, Rio and Moo. Unfortunately I can’t keep them because I can only have an all hen flock. I’m considering culling Rio (the back one) soon because he’s starting to pick on my girls. Is this cruel? I don’t have any other way to get rid of him without it being...

This is my 12 week Easter egger, Moo. I’m like 90% sure this chicken is a cockerel, but I just want to confirm.

There are these small holes in the ground next to my chicken coop and rabbit hutch (which has Guinea keets in it). There was a pretty bad thunderstorm last night that knocked some trees over, and I’m wondering if these holes are from a small critter or storm damage. Any guesses?

Currently I have a prefab coop for my 5 buff Orpington and 3 EE pullets. Right now there’s tractor supply shavings in the coop and run. I would like something with a more sandy texture for the run so they can dust bath, but nothing that will heat up and hurt their feet. Any suggestions?

I got 2 New Guinea keets from Rural King, and they were scared of me as expected. The problem I have is that they won’t come out from the back of the brooder plate to eat and drink. The only way they drank in the past 2 hours was me forcing them to. They still haven’t eaten in a couple hours...

There are ticks constantly in my chicken’s faces that I have to pull out. It doesn’t matter if they’re in the coop or free ranging, the ticks always get them. I need solutions ASAP. Please give me ideas.

I’m going to receive 2 Guinea fowl chicks soon. So far I’ve raised 8 Orpingtons and 3 EEs. I’m wondering if there’s anything to change in my brooder setup that’s different than chickens? I want to make sure they have quality care.

I found this super cheap shed online. What do we think of a D.I.Y coop? Also is this a scam lol.
