My chicken Coop & Cleaning

Starlight Green Egger potential Cockeral / Rooster UFD. 6 weeks old, very healthy, able to be handled, nice disposition. I can't have roosters, so....at 6wks full bright red comb and waddle, some bumps forming where spurs form. Chasing my hens around....on the fence with feathers, but showing more characteristics of a Roo, than a hen/pullet. Free or Trade for same age pullet (maybe) depending on breed.

Black hen is 1.5 yrs old Black Australorp and the head hen. Does not play well with the younger 13 week old Cinnamon Queen pullet.

Squirrel enjoying my brand new "Bird Feeder". Oh, well - everyone's gotta eat.

The White Rock chicken, with the blue fabric saddle on - is walking a few steps, then dipping down. This is much different then the submissive squat that chickens frequently do - so it is not that. Plus, they usually only do that when I actually enter the run. This chicken's age was said to be 18m (about 6m ago) - so she should be about 2yrs, but could be much older. She had no feathers on her back, and her back was blood red - I was told it was rooster/hen abusive mounting - but who knows. I have 2 other white ones that have similar problems with feathers...but not with this problem. I've only had her about 6m, so the exact history is unknown. I have no rooster, and only 8 hens. 5 were mine from birth -and these mystery 3. I am not very attached to these 3 white chickens with the feather issues, so if it is better to put it down, that is okay to say. I agreed to take them, before seeing the condition they were in - and bringing them back to health has been slow - and not entirely successful - obviously. They all seemed to lay a large egg at least 1 every other day when I first got them. Please give me your diagnosis theories in the comment section....I have never really had a sick chicken before, so - I am new at major issues.

This hen is less than 2 years old, about 19-20 months. She came to me a few months ago with no tail feathers. She was abused by an over-randy rooster. Starting to get some new growth. She lays every day - a large brown egg. Little too chatty for my quiet pen, and I am a little over-crowded, and looking to downsize about 1/2 my flock. The purple is medicine I put on her when she arrived. My flock has never really liked my new editions, so that is another reason. pm or message me Lake Wylie, SC just South of Charlotte, NC.

Yes. You can feed green beans to chickens on 1 very important condition. YOU MUST COOK THEM FIRST. It is imperative, that ANY bean be cooked thoroughly before feeding to chickens. Once cooked, they can be fed like any other food. It is harmful to them, to eat raw beans. I use the end pieces of my snap beans and set them aside. Instead of throwing them away - boil them separtely, let cool - then feed to your chickens. Put in a baggie in the fridge if not ready to feed right away.

Here I have photos & video of Day old (or 2) Rhode Island Red Pullets, and 1 Columbian Wyandotte. Picked up at Tractor Supply and raised until Adult and now laying eggs. Follow their photo/video journey to see what they look like along the way. Currently, these pullets are around 7-8 months old. Integrating them with my slightly older pullets, was not fun. You want your new pullets to be full grown, before adding them to your flock. Full grown, is around 4 months. They should be close to the same size, if not age, of your current flock - especially if confined, like mine are - as space is precious and protected. If you pullets/hens lay fertilized eggs - and brood/raise them - likely you wouldn't have an issue - but these additions, were not related to my current birds.
