Hi, Her ads contain her contact number so you could call her and not just use email. She presently has 12 ads on CL ranging from selling Eggs, Chickens, and poultry supplies and feed from her small farm. If you google her business Sunny Side Up Chicken Emporium you will see that she has been...

Wow!! That is an amazing coop. Handsome enough to tempt me!

Make sure she stays hydrated. An eye dropper with some water in the side of the beak. Not too much at a time. Make sure she is swallowing. I keep poultry nutri drench on hand at all times. It is a liquid I can dilute down to help when I have a sick chicken. Picked up a Speckled Sussex from the...

Wood Ash.....I don't know if it kills them. We always have wood ash on hand and toss a bit into their dusting spots now and then. We only had a problem with mites once before we started using ash. Bought a chicken from a lady that had close to 30. It was a specific type we wanted. Didn't check...

Keeping 2 Roos together with 13 hens probably won't work. They will fight. 1 Roo for 13 is sufficient. As far as getting a nice Roo it's a toss up. They may or may not turn out to be nice. They may be nice for a few years then turn into a snarky creature. You can never be positive about anything...

We picked up Corid at our local Grange. Ours came in a powder. I am guessing most feed stores should carry it. I keep Poultry Nutri-Drench on hand for any chicks or hens that are sick or week. Gives them fluids and vitamins at the same time. Have a Speckled Sussex that was stuck on a plane an...

x2 Looks like a Roo to me as well.

My last batch of chicks ate the shavings like crazy! They are now 16 wks old and doing fine.

I keep a pair of shoes at the back door just for the chicken area and have a barn jacket that I use just for the chicken area as well. When friends visit I just make sure they are locked up in the run. That way I don't have to explain any concerns. Once in the habit it is easy.

I agree with drumstick dive, rehome at least one of them.

Thanks for the photo of the SQUAT. Always have people ask me when their birds will lay. Will send them to this article. Funny about the Australorps mentioned by bruceha2000. My BA does not squat, never seen her do it in the 2 years we have had her. Our EE's took the longest to start laying out...

We used 1/4" hardware cloth on our run. Across the top where it overlapped I whip stitched the seams together with copper wire (what we had on hand). This was time consuming but easy. I don't have to worry about anything squeezing through.

If your chickens are confined to a small area, the run then they will keep anything green from growing. Our run is 10 x 20 and nothing sprouts in there! However we do let them free range as well and as mentioned earlier Morning Glory is toxic to chickens. HOWEVER we do have Morning Glory all...

We use wood shavings purchased from the Co-op. It works great. I tried adding herbs once, lavender so it would smell nice. They would scratch all the wood shavings out of the boxes looking for the lavender. No longer put any herbs in the nest boxes but toss some in the coop once in a while.

This is what works for my chickens. When one goes broody I place it in a small all metal dog kennel. I put a 4x4 in the kennel for the bird to sit on because the metal bottom is uncomfortable to walk on. I also place food and water in it. The kennel is placed inside the run so the food and water...

Wow, What an amazing story and coop / run area. Thanks for sharing.
