Hmm that could be causing it. I’ll keep watching them closely and try to get them before it freezes. Thanks!

It’s been going on for several weeks now and from different hens. These pictures give me some leads though. Thanks!

I’ve noticed several of my hens are laying eggs that have some darker spots on them. It almost looks like the marks are inside the shell. I noticed this seemed to start around when the weather got colder. Could it have something to do with condensation maybe? The eggs seem normal when I open...

Thanks everyone! I’m going to look into alternative hawk protection solutions.

Any updates on how well the inflatable tube wiggle men worked?

A hawk tried to get one of my chickens today but my husband scared it away. My question is about my rooster. He’s a 9-month-old Maran. I thought he would try to fight off a hawk but he ran into the woods with the hens. Is this normal? Is he a coward or was he defending the hens by taking them...

Awesome! Thanks so much!

I’m new to chickens. Does this discoloration on her eyelid look like a healing peck/scratch or something more serious?

Ok. Thank you!

I’ll check around the coop/run for sharp areas. Thanks!

Hi! I noticed this bump on the beak of one of my 11-week-old hens today. I’m thinking it might have been from getting pecked by another hen, but because it’s a bump, I wasn’t sure if I should be worried. Does this look normal and, if not, what can I do about it?

I think you’re right. It’s important to know what’s in it. I think I’ll return it to the store and find something I feel more sure about. Thanks!

Hi! I’ve seen some info on using sulfur with chickens to help pest control. I don’t have any issues now, just looking at preventative measures. I found this kind at Agri Supply. It says 90% elemental sulfur. I don’t know what the other 10% is. Can anyone tell me if this kind is okay to use with...

They were from an extremely busy farm swap. The main person was busy so an assistant helped us and didn’t seem to know much about them. He did say some of the chicks in that cage were bantam, so maybe that’s what we ended up with. Thanks for the insight!
