Does anyone have a suggestion for grubs or meal worms treats that are not grown in China? I've been subscribed to grubterra but they have over a month wait time. I find products that say made in usa but that only means they process them here. They are still grown in China.

Thanks for your response. I would hate to rehome any pet and I have a lot. My city finally accepted chickens a few years ago but only allow 5 hens. And they made the coop placement laws so restrictive that you have to own an estate (and I dont) to be in compliance. If I got a complaint about a...

Just curious, is it the comb size at 8 weeks, feather color or both that indicates cockerel? The waddles didn't seem that big to me. I guess I was hoping for a magical beautiful grey pullet. Can you tell I'm already attached and looking for an excuse to keep. I'm just not allowed roos. Stupid...

Just got this beautiful 8 week old barred rock pullet because of the pretty grey feathers. Now I'm wondering if I got a roo because it is so light. Comments please???

Have a 6 month old RIR. Treated sour crop with miconozole for a week and cured her. Two weeks later she still hasn't laid an egg. She is my best layer. Started at 22 weeks and laid an egg every day since. Her last egg was her second day of sickness. Will she ever lay again?

Thank you! New to raising chickens and loving every minute of it.

My babies are now 8 weeks old. Have a rhode island red, blue australorp, and barred rock. Hoping all are pullets????

Thank you. I hope so. I'm not allowed to have roosters. I would hate to have to rehome her. I'm so attached. Ill post more pics next week.

My first flock and I think I have a rooster. This morning i noticed the possible red waddle. Rhode Island red 4 1/2 weeks old. Matilda ( or maybe Matt) is taller than my barred rock and blue austrolorp of same age. She/he seems to strut a lot. Thoughts?
