    Topic of the Week - Dogs and Chickens

    I have 3 dogs. 1 chihuahua and 1 Catahoula mix & they are great with our chickens. They are both older dogs & just never seemed very interested in them and now they all eat treats together. My other cattle dog/poodle mix Gilly is only 2 and last year, play time turned into a vet visit with...

    4 week old chicks - Outside? Weather?

    So we made it through 2 nights in the coop and one thunderstorm. Everyone doing great. Highs in the mid 50s today with more possibility of more showers. Low tonight 48. I can see they are puffing themselves up and they have a huddle box, but do you think it's ok to leave them out and coop...

    4 week old chicks - Outside? Weather?

    4 week old chicks - Outside? Weather?

    They are getting too big. Texas hill country weather. Rain, but temperate. Can they stay outside? Liking the run, and too cooped up in our temporary brooder. Without added heat for 3 days. Rejecting it in the brooder. Picture was at 3.5 weeks.

    Egg bound or vent gleet?

    I don't know what else to do now. I've bathed her, examined vent (found nothing) , tried to give water (with corrid) and food (can't tell she's touched anything) and applied antifungal cream. Bottom looks worse today. All she is doing is sitting and looking labored and miserable. 2 year old...
