I'm curious what I will have. I didn't expect to have two broody hens. Those hens hatched 13 of 14 unexpected blue, splash, black, Americana. I guess my biggest question is what color will my Americana lay? Thank you!

My 7 month old EE is wheezing/raspy. She has no nasal discharge and her eyes are fine. Thinking it may be respiratory, I started her on Duramycin this morning and fed her acidophilus on some oatmeal. I am wondering if this is really the problem. She makes almost a barking sound every so...

My RIR recently started confronting me and pecking me. She'll run up to me and fluff her feathers. When I come to a stop because she's run in front of me, she'll peck me. What is this all about. I'm about to lose it with her. She drew blood on my foot this morning.

Anyone fish this River?

How do you prevent worms. What is Invermectin? (SP??) I saw it at the feed store and it was in horse/pig doses. Can we use a tiny bit of that? How do you administer it? Thanks for your help. I just want healthy chickens!!!

I just added a black sex-link and haven't seen one full grown. Currently she looks a little bit like a crow with silver lacing on her chest. Does anyone have pics of their hens? Thanks so much for the inquiry!

I have tried to do this, but my pic's are too large. Can anyone help me with this and tell me how to reduce my photo to fit this? Thank you!

I am just saying this because my behavior with chickens is so random. I check Craigslist for the "soon to be culled" chickens. I got an ee (advertised Araucana) from someone and now I'm doing it again. My hubby is in Alaska commercial fishing and I just told him we are getting another...

Thank goodness I was out there. I've been free ranging my girls for just 4 days and they're here! I live in the city and I was hoping there wouldn't be as many. This guy was HUGE. Undoubtedly he could have carried of my biggest girl. What can I do to deter them? Anything? I want my girls...

I got this chicken off of craigslist as a pullet. Don't know why they got rid of her, but I took her and she seems to be doing OK. I have 4 others in the coop but I'm keeping her (him) with me until it's older and I'm confident she's healthy. Any help with breed and gender is so appreciated...

I have a 5 week old chicken that I rescued off of Craigslist. They were advertising 1 chicken and I couldn't figure it out. I asked and they just said they had too many. Not buying that story, I've kept her isolated and only found she has Wry Neck. Treated her and she's doing well. Now to...

I just picked up my new 6 week old to finish my flock of 5 and after reading posts, I think it has Wry neck. It is too late to treat it? How much, How often.....She is so sweet and I want her to live. She's not twisting, falling down, etc., she just has a z in her neck and it hangs down when...

I have permethrin from the local farm supply. Can I dust their coop with it? What about if they ingest it? I'm trying to take preventative measures since I've seen all these lice/mite posts popping up. Also, how often do I treat them? Thanks for your help!

I find myself daily searching Craigslist for more babies! I live in the city, well it is the most liberal city in the US, Eugene, OR. So, even though I am surrounded by angry liberals, I find they love chickens. Numbers of chicks don't seem to be an issue. I found a supposed true...show...

Help.....I am new at this and failed to think this through (story of my life)! I got two EE's at 12 weeks old and 2 RIR's at 6 weeks old. I got them a week ago and was wondering if anyone could tell me when I can start Free Ranging them. The two EE's are still skeptical of me and hate being...

How do you post a photo that comes up under your profile when you post. I'm really not computer illiterate, however, I can't figure it out! Thanks for the help......... New chicken mama with no bragging photos:)
