I haven't posted here in a long time, due to having to re-home my own chickens a few years ago. I'm still not able to keep chickens, but it has come to my attention that there are two hens abandoned at a foreclosed home in Eustis, FL. Apparently there was also a rooster, but it seems that he...

I'm going to be moving from New Hampshire to Florida in about a month or so. I won't be able to keep my flock of four pet hens where I'm moving to, so I would like to find them a loving home. The reason I'm not rehoming them in my area is because two of the hens are originally from Florida...

Not chain letters, the metal fabric. I tried doing a search and nothing came up, so I thought I'd start a thread to see if any chicken keepers share this hobby. I've been making maille for five years, and I'm just now trying to sell some of my stuff. I have an Etsy shop...

I built a covered area in my chickens' pen so that they'd have some bare ground during the winter, and Last year I put down some traction sand to give them a dust bathing area since the ground freezes hard. I picked up another bag of traction sand this winter, but I noticed that it says this...

Sorry this is terribly long, but please read. I moved up to New Hampshire from Florida 3 years ago, and brought my small flock of chickens with me. I tried to keep them outside for the winter, but my leghorns where getting frostbite and my bantams where acting cold when it was only about 25F...

Has anyone personally seen Ivomec Eprinex kill lice on chickens? My flock has had a mild case of lice for a while now. I've been dusting them with DE, but it seems to only reduce the number of lice, not eradicate them. I'm somewhat skeptical because the lice seem to only crawl around on the...

Can I safely add both apple cider vinegar and Aqua-Dee, a vitamin D3 supplement, to my chickens water? Thanks.

I was thinking it might be helpful to have a sticky post in this section, where people could contribute the feed ingredient lists that they get from the bags of different brands of feed. Since the company never seems to want to tell you anything. I could contribute Blue Seal, Purina, and...

I was wondering how bad it is to have chickens eating under wild bird feeders? My mom feeds the birds all year round, and we have tons of birds and squirrels in our yard. Of course my chickens love to eat the seed that drops on the ground, and I cringe thinking about all things they're being...

Does anyone know how grit stays in the gizzard, and doesn't just move through it like everything else? It just doesn't make any sense to me that the gizzard could/would treat the grit any differently then food.

Does anyone know of a good herbal poultry dewormer that is available in the US? I have never wormed my chickens before, but in the summer they eat lots of bugs and scratch around in the horse manure and under wild bird feeders, so I assume they must have some parasites. Also, my flock has been...

I recently posted pictures of the hens that I adopted from Nevins Farm, so I thought I'd post some pics of my original flock. Chickaling, a black sex-link. The Silkball, a silkie. Nessa, a white leghorn. The Giant Thing, a white leghorn. Elwing, a silver seabright. Finrod...

Hi, This is my first post, though I've been lurking for a while. Well, thanks to erinm posting about adopting some hens from Nevins Farm, I decided to get six! They seem to be fairly healthy, although one of them sometimes has noisy breathing. Most of them are very friendly, only one is...
