This may certainly seem like a really stupid question but here it is.....We've had chickens for years but this is the first time I've had to give one medication orally or even looked down ones mouth. As I am looking into her mouth I can see past her tongue & down her throat but then I also see...

Hi, Is it ok to switch out the chickens regular water for electrolyte/vitamin water while they are taking Valbazen? Just wondering because we've read 'yes it is ok' they need it and we've read 'no it's not ok' because it will interfere with the effectiveness of the medicine. Thank you for your...

Hi. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE someone tell us that you have Blue or White Langshan hatching eggs that you can sell us!!!!

Hi, Does any one know where we can get some good healthy quality chickens in Minnesota? Hatcheries? Farm & Garden or Feed Stores? Breeders? Mainly pullets. Marans, Legbars, Ester Eggers & Olive Eggers?

Hi, Our chickens are about 14 weeks old now and they are still skinny & flat looking. Shouldn't they be shiny fat & fluffy by now and if not when do they start? They have their regular feed and then lots of veggies & fruits scraps & such. We also let them free range for about an hour before bed...

Hi. Well we took out the nesting boxes for a while as suggested until they get the hang of roosting. Now that the pullets are roosting, when should we put them back in & how will we know when they are ready to start laying?
