Hi All, I have a flock of mixed chickens (various ages and sizes) and some of them have snooty noses and are sneezing. I did a round of VetRX on all of them but I haven't noticed any difference. I was wondering where and what kind of antibiotics I could get for them. About the only place I could...
I want to use up all my Banty eggs I have sitting in the fridge. I don't care for Pickled eggs but a lot of my friends and family do so I thought I would make some for them. Now I just need a good recipe! Any help out there?
I use the same recipe. Only I use a a lot more flour and eggs lol. I do several batches and I cut them with a pizza cutter (works great) and then I coat all the extras in flour and leave them set on the table for about an hr. I then frees several batches of them for rainy day soup without the...
Many states have different laws regarding how often pets must be vaccinated. Here in Michigan the pet receives the initial booster and one yr later gets another booster which is good for 3 yrs. I am not sure what other states require. We have not had a case in our area in yrs but in other parts...
When we kept rabbits we used to freeze 20oz plastic pop bottle full of water and put them in the cages so the rabbits could lay against them. We replaced the bottles a couple times a day and they really seemed to enjoy them.
You will not get rid of the fleas by simply treating your dog. You have to treat the area he lives in also your other dogs/cats/rabbits/ferrets whatever you may have. Treating your yard is a must (Sevin dust works great for this). Also treat your home whether it be with sprays, powders, bombs...
I got my first chickens last yr from Cackle. I lost 1 to pasty but about 2 weeks later and I had one at about a month old slip a tendon and we couldn't get it to heal. Neither was Cackles fault it was ours being newbies and not having the knowledge. My birds are all very docile and beautiful. I...
Hi all, I was wondering if there is a website that would have the nutrition info on fresh eggs? I am starting to sell some eggs and I have a bunch of new pullets so I would like to have some info to put on a flyer for potential new customers. Any help here would be very much appreciated. Thank...
Mine really like Hamburger, bread and meal worms. I know they really don't like cabbage, lettuce and for some reason if my scratch has oats in it they leave the oats
I don't think it would hurt a bit. I have 8 Bantam Cochin hens and 3 roos they all live with my standard size eggs layers and all of them get along just fine...
My chickens have a coop but no run so they free range all day with my cow, horses and goat. My barn cat in the winter pretty much lives in the coop with the chickens. He is great with them even the little ones, the only problem is getting him out of the nesting box to get eggs out lol
Here is a...
What kind of food is she eating? That is the first place I always start. Lots of foods have Corn, Soy, Chicken, Beef ect that are some of the main triggers for food allergies. When I was working in a pet store about 80% of the pets who had hot spots cleared up after about 3-4 weeks on a better...
A friend of mine has a pretty old flock her oldest are 10-11yrs old and she still gets a couple eggs a week. My birds are all still young since I just got into chickens last year. I will probably keep them till they die off or give them to friends and family who want some bug catchers :)
Yesterday I sold one of my cows and a few birds, I was already planning on picking up some Marans after I dropped off the cow. WELL I just had to stop at TSC ( I didn't need anything mind you), I ended up walking out of TSC with 10 mo0re chicks! They were marked down to $1 each and I just...
I have 14 hens in one coop most are about a year old with several assorted breeds (EE, RSL, BR, Polish, RIR and some "mutts") I wormed them a couple weeks ago and went from getting on average 6 eggs a day I am now getting 8-10 eggs a day.
In my other coop I have 8 Cochin Bantam hens but they...
The only one I have ordered from is Cackle. I ordered 25 Cochin Bantam chicks last August, they sent 29. I did loose 2 of them but both were my fault (one had pasty butt and one got crushed by the others because I didn't take them out of the brooder when adding shavings and they all freaked)...
