    Do you have any old Tucker Milling feed?

    How to clean after MG/MS

    Hello everyone, It's very saddening for me to say that I recently decided to depopulate my flock. I made the mistake of taking some chickens from a neighbor and brought MG into my flock. One by one they started getting sick and we contacted the Poultry Lab in our state. They mailed us some...

    Chickens Mysteriously Dying

    Hello Everyone, I made the mistake of buying chickens from a man down the road who I'd never bought from. He sold me 10 laying age chickens: 7 red star and 3 buffs who seemed to be pretty healthy when I got them. Shortly after getting them home, they started dying. I've had chickens for 7...

    A surprise visitor on the roof of the coop!

    I went out this morning to check on the chickens and let them out of their coop. I heard something loud moving on the tin roof of the chicken coop. We've been having a lot of pest problems, so thinking it was a possum or racoon, I ran outside to see what it could be. It was a peacock! How...

    Georgia power outage - Day 20 hatching

    So last night, the power went out. My eggs are supposed to hatch tomorrow, and they went about 20 hours with no heat. I'm sure that it's a lost cause, but I'm keeping them in the bator, hoping for the best. Wish me luck!

    Just got my first bunny! PICS! What breed is she?

    Went to the feed store to get chicken food, and got suckered into buying this cute girl: They didn't know what kind or how old. I just love her though, and by dear boyfriend is outside building her a hutch right now. Anyone know what kind or maybe what age she might be?

    My 10 day old baby chick has a broken leg/dislocated knee I came home and instead of the knee bending backwards as normal, it's bending to the side. It bends directly to the outside and the chick falls over. It will move around and stand there, then POP, out goes the knee. I tried splinting...

    Welsummer sexing help needed - 6 weeks old

    I have 11 Welsummer chicks. When they were younger we guessed 8 pullets and 3 roos based on the head striping, but now that they are older, I can't tell. My other half says that we have 6 pullets and 5 roos based on the coloring around their necks. I'm not so sure. What do you guys think...

    To Dry Incubate or Not Dry Incubate...that is the question.

    Hey eveyone. I am a newbie to incubating eggs. I just had my first try and only three of seven hatched. I cracked open one of the ones that didn't hatch, and it looked like a half developed chick. I have pictures, but they are pretty graphic. Anyway, it looked like it had fuzz and pretty...

    Chick stuck in egg for 36 hours - time to interfere - PLEASE HELP

    Okay, so I know that it's better off to leave the chick alone. I've heard the philosophies, if it's not strong enough to make it out of the shell, it's not strong enough to live. But, I think the humidity got too low, and it's dried up in there. So, I've decided I'm going to try to help. I...

    We're about to cull our first birds

    We've had these 2 Buff Orpingtons that we got about a month ago. Shortly after we got them, one started sneezing, and a few days later the second started sneezing. We have been keeping them quarantined from our other flock and didn't have the heart to cull them. All this time we've known it's...

    I'M SO MAD!! MY LANDLORD IS A LIAR!!!! Pics on pg 6

    Okay......so this is a looooong rant, but I need to vent! Almost a year ago, I rented this big empty warehouse from an artist in a popular part of town. I have a dance company and we needed a place to rehearse and perform. I hit the ground and raised money and invested over $15,000 into...
