    New chicks coming today, I have some Braggs ACV from last batch about a year ago. Is it still ok to use? I have no idea how you could tell if vinegar has gone bad.:hmm

    Only two now

    I have asked for a photo, hopefully they will send one today. Since we have limited space, I guess we would put them in the garage for the 30 days? Any tips for "garaging" two 6 month old chickens?

    When to add a third

    Good advice, on all points. Trying to find a place to get vaccinated pullets in my area (Washington state-nothing listed in the list on this site), but no luck yet. MyPetCHicken has some that I like, but they stop sending pullets this week (don't think I will have the test results from the...

    When to add a third

    We lost our hen yesterday (waiting for the necropsy, possible a partial crop obstruction). Wondering when we should add another (once we know it is safe to do so). Should we get a hen about the same age and add now, or would it be ok to wait until spring (the thought of raising a chick and...

    My husband asked me " Are some chickens just duds?" (meaning won't lay). I laughed, then realized I actaully don't know.... Are some chickens just (really cute) duds?

    Molting causing these behaviour changes?

    No bullying at all (I've been watching them like. hawk. Wait, this is about chickens, that sounds creepy as hell! lol). She hangs with them at the waterer and feeder, but then goes off by herself to preen, dustbathe and hang out by herself. I'll try to figure out how to post pics- they have a...

    Molting causing these behaviour changes?

    One of our hens has yet to lay, but has recently stopped roosting (in both run and coop), has started sleeping in a nesting box (though she no longer goes into the coop with the others, we are having to put her inside in the evenings) and kind of separating herself from the other two hens (who...

    Freaky Freddie

    I have them all on layer feed but picked up the oyster shells because I was worried Fred would get too much calcium and hurt her kidneys. Is it safe to add back?

    Freaky Freddie

    One of our three hens (Fred) is acting strangely. She is about 30 weeks old, has yet to lay her first egg (although her barnyard mix sister has been laying for weeks). She has stopped going into the coop in the evenings with the other 2, and isn't roosting at all anymore. She prefers to sleep in...
