I am south of Murphysboro IL and in the 100% range. The chickens did what they did 7 yrs ago with that eclipse, just stood there. 7 yrs ago it was completely dark and they froze, this yr was not as dark and they just acted as usual but some just stood there wondering if they should go in and...

My green egg layers have done a mass strike and aren't laying. Three are 3 yrs old and two are not quite a year old. They all stopped suddenly. None are molting. Odd it is just the green ones no matter their age. They will start a union soon I imagine.

After nearly 2 months, my rooster's foot is getting better. Such a hard time for him and me. The thing that finally cleared it up was an antibiotic I squirted in the wounds. He is still limping and swollen but haven't gotten any puss/curds out this week. I'm still checking it every 2 or 3 days...

I put a towel over my chicken's head when I soak or tend to my chickens. It helps calm them. I've been working on a terrible case of bumblefoot on my rooster for a month now. I soaked, vet did debridement, still an issue but getting some better. The infection went up the foot so 2 bad spots I'm...

I know I can't say they're "certified organic" but I will tell them they're fed organic feed and date started that feed. As far as going rates in my area, that's why I posted this question and asking people''s location so I can figure that out.

They are for eating or hatching; whatever the person wants to do with them.

I have been feeding my chickens w Purina Layena, non organic. I thought I'd try organic for a while so I separated some of my chicks and are feeding them organic feed. It is about .75 cents a lb where regular feed is .45 cents a lb. I'm trying to figure out what I should sell them for. $5 sound...

They can crow all day and night but I love the sound. I get used to it. My guys are good roosters so their crowing is part of the experience for me.

I have plucked a few by hand and my buddy has a wiz bang plucker he built I've used a few times. When I don't want to bother him, I have just been skinning them lately. Sure a lot cleaner and quicker.

My 8 month old Comet has been laying huge eggs too. I hate it for her but nothing I can do. I know that has to be hard on her system.

Green poop is mostly bile; multi organ failure. I had a state lab do a necropsy one time. I have had them die with green poop too, real thin. I did my own necropsy and the intestines past the crop was packed with green grass so nothing could get down them, so they starved to death and the organs...

I had my 2 week ducklings outside in a corner of the shed protected from the adult ducks and I guess a snake got one of them. I am so upset. I moved them back to the brooder plastic tub in the basement bathroom. I want them outside but am afraid to put them out for fear of losing another...

LOVE the pitter patter of their feet!

I have 3 one week old ducks. They're so cute and grow so fast. Two runners and a rouen. Boy are they messy! I haven't allowed them to get in a pool like yours yet; waiting til they feather out. I am feeding them 18% chick starter.

I've seen other web sites that say it is not good for them either cooked or raw and some say it is safe. Uff da. I have plenty in my garden and was wanting to give them some. I guess in doubt, leave it out.

Well, I saw a bobcat kitten last night out here. It was about the size my house cats. So cute but something else to have to worry about and deal with.

What's mKe?

I have videos of the bobcats by my front porch but they're Eufy security video and apparently not compatible with this web site. The cats here are about 40 lbs too. They're big.

I've gotten two 30 day nuisance permits from IDNR and shot two of them. There are so many around here.
