You all are wonderful ;) ;) I have read about worming quite a good bit. I must have misunderstood about what corid killed. I thought it was for basically EVERYTHING. I don't really think they have worms as their poo's are quiet solid, no noticeable works in it. no pale, droopy..loss in laying...

I wanted to post in here in the hopes that a lot of folks will perhaps learn from my lesson. I did my first batch of seramas. I ordered 2 batches from different parts of the country. One close, one far. I ended up with 31 eggs in total. I had 15 live to lock down!! Hooray right? Well I...

I knew I was forgetting to add something to my post I got the same type of birds I had had in MO. I Have 2 buff orpingtons a barred Plymouth rock a silver laced wyandott a partridge feathered americauna 2 black Orpingtons a white americauna mix.

Hello all, So I have had to move to a whole new area and start my flock all over. I am in Texas now and the conditions are much hotter and drier. My girls in Missouri were plump..and I cannot recall ever having felt their breast bones when I held them. They felt "solid" and were happy and...

Ca'nt type for poor finger getting bitten in half from MEAN molting fat arse chicken from hell !! I am glad I found this thread, for a minute there I thought she went "rabid" Did I mention she is biting everything? My poor finger!!

Raising chicks this way is so totally different than all the stuff you read about raising them yourself! Pepper had her 2 babies basking in the early morning sun today. So cute to see them stretch their tiny wings to take in the sun. Then she took them for a little "walk" (in her coop so not...

Well, My little "Pepper"" is a proud Momma. She is taking the chicks just fine and she is super sweet with them. She lets me pet her (even tho she fluffs up all cute like) and she let me show them all how the nipple bottle works. Then at the end of the day once it had cooled down I put a...

Sorry meant to ask also how long should I keep her closed in her little pen with her babies before I let them out into the yard?

Well, sneaking out to check on chicks/babies this morning and she is sat on them.!! I heard a faint little peep and she fluffed all up and moved around a tiny bit to adjust for something wiggling under her. NOW...I have water and food for the chicks in there ...but ..she doesn't seem to be...

OH MY GOSH! I have become the broody momma! Well for at least a few hours. (until its dark) (bring on night time already!!) The chicks we got, got cold (inside in the AC) and so I am just letting them sleep in my shirt to get warm. One is using my boob as a pillow I hope to god this doesn't...

Well, we got 2 sweet little chicks. Amerucana a light little ball of fluff and a darker (that will hopefully be a blue/grey) She is going to be called "pearl" after the Black Pearl (pirate thing arrrr)and because I have a pair of black pearl earrings that I hope she will shine like. The...

What's the difference between Ameraucana and EE's? I am reading the different threads and trying to figure it out so far I can't. My local hatchery only has Ameraucana or Americana's, said to lay blue/green eggs. I am trying to learn more about them before I go in asking for 2 tomorrow...

OOOOHHH NOOOOO!! I just called my local hatchery and they don't have any white Plymouth rock chicks!!! **scream cry wail** I cant do eggs...I need chicks...Can you ship chicks in this heat?? OMG!! what a nightmare..this totally sucks Edit to add, they have no white chicks...even white egg...

For those of you experienced with this Broody thing... If I take my girl off the nest ( I had to roll her off the nest she refused to budge that much LOL) and she sat there thinking what she was going to do now? Until she saw the other 2 girls going for a fat juicy bug and then she was off in...

UPDATE- Lacy is no longer limping!! We must have dug deep enough the last go to finally get "it" So relieved. She still has a bit of a circle "owie" area that is healing but so far so good. What an ordeal that was, really good learning experience all around. If they ever get hurt I...

I don't have a source for fertilized eggs (cant have a Roo ) But honestly I read about you all hatching several batches of chicks. What do you DO with them once they are hatched? Are you all using them for meat? If so do you self butcher? I used to think I could but now I HAVE some and I...

Aww cute I can't wait to get our chicks. This is her first time Broody and I want to make sure she will take the chicks. So I am waiting, but I am also weighing the heat, time befor it goes cold, the 2-3 weeks your supposed to wait to make sure she is good and broody. Honestly I don't imagine...

Update on my first Broody Girl. We managed to build a little coop/run for her and baby chicks. It turned out AWESOME! We used a bunch of stuff we had left over and so this thing only cost us 20 bucks for the 2x2's We used an old swing gate door for half of the run area because it offers...

I need advice!! My poor Pepper a Barred Plymouth is sat on her nest for 2 days now and hasn't moved off of it AT ALL. I am serious. She hasn't drank, or ate. I know because I brought her in the house (nest and all) because it was too hot in her coop and I didn't want her to die and so she is...

I am absolutely in LOVE with my broody hen. She is sitting on that nest like ....she has a magic butt. Because if you try to get the eggs the other girls laid in there she magically moves her butt right in the way and wont budge for nothing. I was lifting her up a tiny bit and she went all...
