What about in Wisconsin?

We have chosen to do NO herbacide or fertilizer. We recently applied corn gluten, The chickens eat it! The grass - no weeds in our lawn are everywhere!!!! Oh well..... Better healthy than "pretty".....

I now know why!!!! She had a paper thin deflated egg shell stuck in her vent!!! No wonder. My husband checked her out but I guess not well enough. She is doing much better today. Hooray!

I have a year old hen with a dirty butt. She is our friendliest hen and she is avoiding me.... She's always the one to run over and see what treats you brought her. Can I use ACV? How much per gallon? Thanks!!

Our girls - we got them in May - have been laying until recently. It's pretty cold here (Wisconsin!!) and we don't heat the coop - 2 have still been laying... I went out the other day and spent some time out there talking to the girls and noted that one Ameracauna - Cinderella - was kind of...

Our chicken had her mouth open - and now that I think about it has done this far awhile.... I thought she was just panting - I noticed it first in the summer whae it was hot... She has a funny crow and now a cough (but no drainage). Is this Gapeworm?

What is this and the syptoms?

What is gapeworm?

Help! My favoprite Ameracauna is coughing/choking... I can't see anything down its throat. I sounds like it is hoarse... I stuck her beak in the water to make her drink - she didn't like it! Any ideas? No other sick hens. Thye are about 22 weeks old and just started laying. Help! She is our...

Just want every one to know - We finally got eggs!!! Hurray! I guess the pep talks worked (and no- I didn't threaten chicken soup!). We have had 5 beautiful little perfect eggs in 3 days!! Our girls are 19 1/2 and 22 1/2 weeks. The most prolific layer is our Leghorn - she is named Sammy, just...

I was told not to wash them - just brush off the dirt. Then I was told not to refridgerate them right away. But I do want to refridgerate if they are fertilized - right? By the way we are proud-egg-parents!!!! We finally got eggs 5 in 3 days!!!! We are thrilled!

Don't forget Mad City Coop Tour tomorrow! We are going to have great weather for it! Just wash the mud off yur boots when done!

We are having a coop tour in Madison on August 25th. Should be great - last year it had great attendance! Here is the link! http://www.madcitychickens.com/calendar.html I can't wait!

We are giving her/him vitamins in the water. Hopefully it clears up.....

This thread did not talk about how well they lay- Anybody know?

I am Norwegain - so of course when it came time to pick out breeds we bought a Norwegian Jaerhon. But what I don't know is - how good of an egg layer are they? All I know is that their eggs are white.... Anybody have one that can tell me? We live in Wisconsin - I figure a Norwegian chicken...

How do you do 1/2 a drop? Do you mean dropper full?

Thanks!!! She has been doing this for probably 2 weeks.... She is a little over 3 weeks old. Maybe the vinegar water is helping......

One of my 6 weekers has runny poo. The problem is I don't know which one it is. I have watched them and they all have normal poops also...... I put 1 capful of ACV (per 1 quart water) in their water today. I hope this will help. Can someone be more specific as to the ACV per water formula...

Sammy puts her head down and runs backwards..... What do you mean: The neck may just keep "crooking" until he/she can't drink, then it will be practically impossible to treat. By the way it seems to be getting better..... I havn't seen her do it in the last few days. I put ACV in their water...
