Thanks :-) My chickens are actually well handled. So picking them up is not an issue. They actually come when they are called. I will pick some of this up and start the does. Is there an egg withdrawal period for this? And even if they are moulting..will it be safe? Lastly, should I dose...
How do I dose Valbazen? The only treatment we have done was DE and poultry dust. Although they are in an enclosed area it is pretty large and they can go in and out as they please. They also have plenty of smart little wild birds that sneak in,too..so it is very possible that they could have...
Hello,
I have noticed some of my chickens looking scruffy. They have missing feather and bald patches and look awful. However it is not all of them. They are about 4 years old and assorted breeds. I have Buff Orpington, Comets, Brahmas, etc., I had thought it might be mites so I dusted all...
Hi All,
We are looking to move our chicks outside. They are about 2 months old and have their feathers. Our barn and thus their final coop, is not ready yet. Our older hens are in their "chicken Fort Knox". It is 2 dog runs with a cover and has their coop inside. Our thought is to move their...

Are Golden Comets actually yellow? I thought they were a reddish color. Our two Golden Comets seem to have just yellow feathers coming in..much more reminiscent of a Buff Orpington..
Hi, we have 5 chicks to add to our flock, but I am looking for 1 or 2 more Easter egger pullet chicks. Does anyone have any for sale or could you recommend a place in NW CT? We already have 5 adult hens and we got the 5 chicks about a week and a half ago:)
Thanks. I was wondering about a Cochin as well. I actually think it's kind of fun-guessing what it will be. Unfortunately they were strait run so we are keeping our fingers crossed for hens! Does anyone know anything about Comets? Those are the two we got today.
Hi All,
We just got 2 new chicks. One we know is an EE however the other is a mystery. We thought we were getting an Austrolorp but I walked away to get something else when the kids picked it out lol. I thought it might be a Barred Rock but upon further inspection I think it is not. For...
