I was reading in the information section about the treats that we give our fine feathered friends. I clicked on the link about plant toxicity. My hubby was just wanting to use the herb garden as a run for the winter since we didn't expect to get chickens until the spring. The herb garden is...

Well everyone, it has been quite a journey these past 5 years that I have been away. I first want to apologize to anyone and everyone about my sudden absence and departure. I was working from home for a company that I loved, and I got to help other chicken lovers like myself. My marriage was...

We have a situation that is not getting any better. It started almost a week ago. So far we have lost 8 birds to this. We have the coughing and the sneezing. Naturally, we have a lot of shaking of heads to dislodge the congestion. When some is released, it is yellow as well as lots of...

Alrighty, I will start this thread. I have my first grandbaby due on the 15th of January 2008. Now please tell me that there are other first time grandparents who are still in their 30's. It's my adoptive daughter, but I'm only 37. I didn't know I could be this young to pass on such...

I just thought I would share with everyone what has happened to me as of lately. This last week Henry our Spitzhauben cockerel and some of our Salmon Fav's started coughing. I had never heard a chicken cough before, and it really does sound like a goose honking. They also had some nasal...

Hi everyone. I have a friend that is just starting out in the chicken addiction. She asked me a very good question. Here is it and I quote: "I have chicks that are about 6 weeks old and am preparing a pen and coop for them. I'm enclosing the far end of my old tractor shed and my concern is...

I received an email stating that she had 3 roo's and one ended up with both legs broken and the second roo had one broken leg and the dominent roo is fine. I've never experienced this happening with my roos. Does this happen often, and am I just lucky or what?

Hi everyone. I received an email from a person describing some weird symptoms. I've attempted to retrieve more information from her like the color of the discharge and if the tremors are small big etc. I also asked her if she disinfected the coop and run area to ensure the rest of the flock...

We found the largest egg we have ever seen yesterday in the nest boxes. I immediately crossed my legs and pitied the poor hen who laid it. Never in my life have I seen a chicken egg that large. It measures almost 3 inches in length and almost 2 inches in width. It weighs 3.7oz. I wish my...

Last Thursday October 18th, Rootbeer disappeared. My husband was on vacation, and was working in the yard that day instead of hunting. Everybody was free ranging and enjoying themselves. We're still not sure if my sweet, simple minded pullet just wandered off or if a hawk or opposum got her...

My daughter has a project for 4H and we were trying to find a website that lists the different lengths and heights of different chicken breeds. We have Henderson's saved, but that site only gives weights. If anyone has or knows of any websites, we would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I swear these three just get prettier everytime I look at them. The colors are just incredible. Aran, if you read this thread then the answer to your question on the yellow beard is tumeric. Given as a supplement to help boost the immune system, it is not a friend to white or light feathered...
