Hi everyone, I haven't been on here for a long time and kinda miss it. I've got 2 sets of chicks, some about 6 weeks and some that are about 4 weeks old. Once they are about 3 days old they all go out to the stable with the other chickens. I do keep them in a brooder until they outgrow...

We started out 5 years ago with 4 bantam chickens for my son, who had just joined 4H. He was 9 yrs old. He is now 14 yrs and has 17 bantam showbirds. He has bred and hatched his own chicks and shows at fair and other poultry shows. And I figured since we had to build a coop anyway, we really...

Happy Friday, everyone!!! We are starting to get a few more eggs than we have been getting. The other night, my DS took 4 eggs out of the pen and sat them down while he went to do something else. After he was done, he went to get the eggs and there was only 1 left. My dog ate 3 of the...

A few of my chickens have developed the raspy breathing, especially at night. I have a bottle of injectible Tylan 50 that I keep on hand, just for this sort of thing. (We lost a hen to the same thing a few years ago, before I knew about Tylan). If the chickens don't have the raspy for...

Quote: lost smokey to hawk today, she was defending the rest of the flock when she was caught, the hawk grabbed her right through the run and could only get her head. That is sad news about Smokey. Angie
