forgot to put in quote that I was referring to. it was from the cold :'(

from the cold....I thought I was safe with deep litter method and no supplemental heat :(

she died

Two chickens died last night and one looks close. Have her inside, wrapped in towel, did blow dryer on low. She is barely moving and won't drink. Help. Kids and I have been crying all morning

first egg, first egg!!!!!!! my oldest two are over 8 months, and I don't even think its one of theirs, lol. really was getting discouraged every time I checked for eggs. my daughter found this one and said she almost passed out when she saw it! surprised since she is so clumsy usually...

question....If my pullets haven't started laying by winter, will they just not lay until the days are longer? I am in Michigan, so its pretty cold and dark, and I don't have a light on to extend their daylight hours... I was thinking that didn't affect pullets as much as older hens but im...

Don't know what's going on, but sorry to hear your troubles. Hope it can all work out for you.

I keep seeing an ad for someone by me that takes in any unwanted chickens. And not for eating :-). It is listed in the grand rapids section on craigslist Found it...http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/grd/4178154774.html Not sure how close you are to this area though

You sound so much like me. I always say, if it weren't for all my family being around here is move in a second. I want my kids to know and have those close ties with family. But in 16 more years when hubs retires.., I'm outta here. Maybe I need to make a really, really long paper chain ;-)

I've read quite a few articles recently about chicken vision. I think the one you are referring to is this one... http://mikethechickenvet.wordpress.com/2012/03/30/chicken-vision/ Here is that excerpt... Chickens also have much better motion sensing ability than we do.  Not as good as hawks...

Ya, I would agree its the community. I live in kent county and the robotics programs and Lego leagues are huge at our school district. Hope it catches on there for you.

Oh fine, I guess I'll let you wait till you actually have chickens! :lol:

You should go ahead and start ff. I only looked into it more after I saw you mention it previously. I wasn't sure what exactly it was all about. I LOVE it. So much healthier and cheaper. Would love to hear your experiences with it :-)

. :lau. Now that I would have loved to have seen!

So jealous, I still have not had ONE egg from my girls! :barnie

Oh I hope so, you guys are gonna make my day if that's true :-)

here are some better pics of esmerelda. Only took me taking about 50 pics to get a few good ones. Just when I'd have the perfect pic lined up, someone would spot my wedding ring and want a taste, so then...blurry picture lol. :cd

I will try to get better pics in a bit. She's always moving, lol. That one has had me confused, first I was sure female, then male, back and forth. She doesn't have the deep red comb of my other too, also comb is not as big, but someone mentioned too posture before and she as always stood more...

not sure where in Michigan you are, but I know a few people that volunteer and foster with lake haven animal rescue in newago area. It is a no kill shelter and they are very passionate and caring. They do have a Facebook group page as well as website. But I know they have lots of dogs to the...

that's what I was thinking. Esmerelda is such a sweetie and was always my smartest! :-(
