Sorry I took so long to answer I don't come on here every day. All my chickens have been spoken for. The Sussex are going to a very good home where I'm sure they will be spoiled
Glad they are coming around ! I didn't give them much attention cause I knew I wasn't keeping them and I have so many other girls. They will be sitting in your lap in no time LOL

Your right these birds lay like crazy for about a year and a half. I knew they would poop out and stop laying but I wasn't aware of all their health issues until My second two start getting sick and I did some research. So I didn't expect them to lay as long as my Heritage...

Hey its been a long time !!!! I have a couple electric water bowls, That I use once in awhile. But when it gets really cold I use two three gallon electric water containers. they aren't the easiest to use. they have a rubber plug on the bottom where you fill them. I have a lot of...

This afternoon I picked up my sick girl and I noticed her crop was real full and soft. so I started to massage it and water started to come out of her mouth. So I thought sour crop. I told her I'm either going to make you better or kill you, one of the two. you can't stay like this. I tipped her...
Glad I read your post. I couldn't figure out why my golden sexlinks were the ONLY chickens getting sick in my flock. Over the last five years I have four gold sexlinks Three of them died before they were 2 yrs. old. the one I have now is a little over 2 1/2 yrs. but I don't think she is going to...
I've enjoyed reading all of the different posts and idea's. I tend to disagree with those of you that have said ALL dogs will chase a chicken or anything that moves fast. we got chickens when my German Shepherd was eleven years old. From day ONE my dog saw that the chickens were important to...
