I've got a 3 - 4 month old Phoenix cockerel that I'd like to find a good home for. He's a gorgeous boy and has a very gentle nature. I'm over run with roos, or I'd keep him. I've got his father - and he's a good roo. I'm asking $5 for this boy only because I don't want him eaten - and you can...

Hey Rob - I listened in on the Chicken Whisperer's radio show to your interview. I never knew the history of BYC and I found it very interesting - especially to know you took this website from 0 to over 40,000 in the span of about two years! That's awesome. And I know you will say it's the...

I am going to knock my neighbor upside the head. He lives about a mile down the road and has a bunch of chickens he knows nothing about. His father in law gave them to him and he doesn't even know the breeds. I think I recognize some Australorps and Orpingtons. A few months ago he woke up one...

I know I've asked a million Pen-G questions, but I think I have the dosage figured out now - but I have another question I am hoping someone can answer. Can Pen-G be injected into the skin on the back of the neck? Just lift the skin, insert needle just a little, and inject, right? I've never...

My big roo, Duke, has bumble foot. I removed the scab this morning. I was expecting a "plug" to be a pretty solid piece, but what I found was something that came out in what I can only call strands. I put the tweezers in the scab hole and then would tug them out - they were pretty firm and...

I have a rooster with bumble foot. I need to get the plug out and plan to do that tonight. I'd also feel better starting a round of antibiotics. I've been reading and reading on the subject and it seems Pen-G and Batril are the recommended antibiotics. Can anyone tell me how many CCs I need...

I've had the same two hens go broody three times already this year. Once in March, once in May, and now again this week. They are Phoenix hens and always go broody together. It seems these little hens are set on going broody every two months. Have any of you experienced this? How many times in...

I've read a few posts where people talk about using "drop-on ivermectin" - to put between the shoulders of chickens. Is this a specific product, or is it the same as cattle ivermectin that, rather than injecting, you use as drops on chickens between their wings? Thanks, Penny

I have a friend who is going through some personal issues and must get rid of her chickens. I'd gladly take them, but I am over-run with chickens right now! She lives in the Edinburg, Virginia area. If you are interested, please PM me and I'll hook you up with her. She asked that I pass the...

I've spent the past two hours going through the search function, looking for answers, but haven't found any. I have an older flock with 19 chickens - all from the hatchery and all vaccinated. I also have 17 baby chicks that hens from this flock hatched out - varying in age from 1 week to around...

I've got an 8 week old cockerel that is a Silver Gray Dorking/Silver Leghorn mix. Good looking boy. And BIG. His dad is the SGD and excellent at guarding the flock and looking after the girls. We live just outside Mount Jackson, VA. PM me if you are interested in coming by to pick him up. Penny

We live about 45 minutes north of Harrisonburg. I would really like to get a couple of dairy goats and am just starting to read up on them a little. I feel like we need to build some sort of closed in structure for them, but everything I'm reading only mentions 3 sided structures. Those of you...

I am shaking like a leaf - and so darn proud of my Big Duke I can hardly stand it. I know no one will appreciate this story more than the BYC crew, so I just have to share it here. I have two broodies that have 5 babies between them that just turned 3 weeks old. The mamas had the babies in the...

I found this page that describes the progression of a developing embryo in the shell http://msucares.com/poultry/reproductions/poultry_chicks_embryo.html I found it interesting and thought others might as well. I'm sure the time line isn't written in stone - the chicks under my broody started...

I've wanted to participate in the threads about letting mama hatch her eggs, but to be honest, my broody was neurotic and I wasn't sure she was going to pull it off. She kept leaving the next and sitting on eggs in other nests! I put her back on her own eggs a hundred times and was just certain...

My mom lives in Savannah and today I received an article she clipped out of the Tuesday (March 3) morning newspaper titled "Yardbirds provide local eggs, plus Chickens are a lot of fun". I thought it was pretty cool that on the 2nd page of the article there is a picture of a chicken, and beside...

My alpha roo, Duke, is a great protector of his girls and the yard. He is a Silver Gray Dorking and quite large, although his is not quite a year old. But he seems to have a problem with anyone or anything that gets too close to me, except my husband. A couple of months ago I had a friend over...

My mother-in-law said that many years ago she bought some powder or solution with instructions to make mana eggs. She said you hard boil the eggs, and then soak them in this solution and they come out looking some what marbled - and over time the egg inside dries out and then rattles when you...

I found a pattern I really like and looks easy enough for me to get started on a queen sized quilt http://mccallsquilting.com/qb/pattern_804/ I plan to put rooster print in the middle 4 inch square, a barnyard red for the triangles/squares that have color, and then a cream/beige sort of color...
