I agree... it's cluttered, confusing, and less user friendly. Not sure how much time I'll spend on it. Disappointing.

I'm not overexcited... still trying to navigate my way around... And... I'm with Rosaleen.... I'm really going to miss the auctions... big bummer! Bring back the auctions!!!

I was told that using a red bulb is a good thing... not a red heat lamp bulb, just a red light... the person said it is more soothing than regular light bulbs. Any thoughts? It's kinda funny... putting a red light in the "hen house"!

If you weren't so far away, I'd be there in a heartbeat to buy your Lav. Orps! And, if you do know someone who sells hatching eggs, I'd be interested. I'll probably wait until spring to start eggs as we've already has snow here in the Adirondack Mountains and I wouldn't want to start chicks...

Debbie.George.... I'm not adverse to a road trip. If you offer LO's in the spring, I just might jump in the vehicle and head westward to IL!!!! I have Buff Orps and love them... they're very sweet, friendly, great around small children, easy keepers, and good egg layers. My BO's are over...

Ughhh... they are GORGEOUS... and I WANT Lavender Orpingtons soooo bad, but you are in Illinois and I am in New York State. Breaks my heart!!!!!!

Is he a bantam or large breed? He sure is a handsome young man!

My guess is a juvenile Sharp-shined hawk (based on size & tail markings). Whoever guessed it may have escaped from a falconer is probably correct... there's no way a wild hawk would interact with humans... and definitely NOT with a cat. Possibly could be a Coopers, but it's difficult to tell...

We always use tuna fish... the stinkier the better... good idea with sardines... same stinky-ness... they just can't resist!

Does anyone know if she can be given oral antibiotics? Can they be purchased at agway, tractor supply, or any other farm store? I have a hen that survived having her skin completely ripped off her bottom... she was a bloody pulpy mess. I could hardly keep from passing out it looked so bad and...

Sweet!

Have you "Googled" the breed for images? The photos on google images are stunning.... very regal looking chickens... lucky you!

C-u-t-e!

Great Job!

My girls love bananas, hot oatmeal in the winter, yogurt, left over cobs after we've eaten the kernels off them, and of course ears of raw corn! My husband also cooks them spaghetti noodles in the winter... He thinks they think they're eating worms!

I have 6 BO's, 5 Welsummers, 5 Americaunas, 5 EE's, 2 RLBW's, and 5 mystery chickens (White Leghorns?).... And they all seem to get along pretty well. There are a few skirmishes here and there, but for the most part they seem to tolerate each other.

I don't mean to sound stupid, but what is a LGD... Is it a breed of dog?

Nice and big... Lucky you...enjoy!

How often should you de-worm chickens?

Good one VkyVky!
