Am looking for a 28 x 40 "Welcome to the Coop" Garden flag that has chickens on it. Have one and it has gotten torn but cannot find a replacement on the Internet. Please reply if you know where I can find one. Thanks!

We have 7 one month old baby chicks we incubated and hatched that were fine a few hours ago but all of a sudden started dying. 3 are dead already and 1 is breathing heavily. There haven't been any noticeable symptoms of them being sick until about 30 minutes ago when my husband noticed they...

On the 18th day when I remove the eggs from the automatic egg turner, do I just lay the eggs on their side in the bottom of the incubator? Will this disorient the chicks since the eggs have been standing on end all this time & make it hard for them to hatch?

How long after a hen first starts laying should I wait to collect her eggs to incubate? The first eggs are always small so I don't know whether to wait until the eggs are bigger to ensure a bigger, healthier chick or if it's ok to go ahead and incubate. My Speckled Sussex has been laying for...

I have hatched my very first Black Copper Marans chick but it can not walk. It tries to stand but it's feet don't spread out. The outer toe is right up against the big toe in the middle. It sits back on its hocks after it tries to stand then lays it's head down like it is worn out. We had to...

I am looking at investing in hatching eggs for Black Copper Marans but would like to get from a reputable source since the last BCMs I got had an eye defect and were not good for breeding & raising new chicks. I would like to get Cottage Hill line from all that I have read and have found some at...

I have a Black Copper Marans Rooster that is about 3 months old. The pupil of his eye looks like someone took a dropper of ink and dropped it onto the colored part of his eye. Instead of a round pupil, his is irregular at the edges like when ink or watercolor runs on a page. Is this a...

About two weeks ago I started adding Diamotaceous Earth to the feed for my hens as well as sprinkling it in the chicken yard and the nesting boxes under the pine shavings. This last week I have gotten about half the number of eggs that I normally get. I am wondering if this has anything to do...

I am looking for a good source for chicken themed metal signs I can decorate my coop (ex: Fresh Eggs or Vintage) with as well as t-shirts, stickers, etc. for myself. Anyone have a site they can recommend? Thanks!

I need to come up with a name for my small egg laying operation. I have 43 chickens in the breeds listed. I live in fairly close proximity to a Creek named Howards and a couple of rivers. I have thought about Clucky Creek Chickens, Creek Coops, Trills & Tweets, and a few others but nothing is...

I vaccinated my new chicks against fowl pox since my big chickens had it. They were just a few days old and 4 were about 6 weeks old. I have heard I need to repeat the vaccine at 12 weeks with an "adult" vaccine (Chik-n-Pox vs. Poxine). I don't have easy access to vaccine so I wonder if this...

Have been battling the pox and now have a rooster with a foamy eye and wheezing. I have vaccinated the birds unaffected by pox but have 2 batches of vaccinated chicks that I am keeping inside until I make sure the vaccine takes. I am worried that this has turned in to a respitory illness and...

I need advice on what antibiotic to have on hand for my flock. Can anyone make a suggestion? I live a long way from a feed store that carries any type of antibiotic and would feel much better if I could keep something on hand that would treat respitory and other problems. I am currently...
