    wanted to post another picture of Mamie because she's cute and hopefully to give hope to anyone who has the same issue. I'm still shocked she survived but thrilled she did. she's so sweet!!!!

    Coop and run.....egg box experiment LOTS of pics

    Normally yes. However the space for 3 perfectly and I knew if I left space to either side they would find a way to roll the buckets all over. My RIR and Easter egger I've had for a couple years and I've learned if there is a possible way to do something annoying and destructive, they will surely...

    we will on occasion....but they are hell on the garden so probably not too much this summer. Our RIR is a pro plant uprooter :rolleyes:

    Coop and run.....egg box experiment LOTS of pics

    After catching a bad case of the chicken math, I was just shy of the roost space margin I'd like. Also, after purchasing new patio furniture that has been pooped on non stop and our top hen Penny deciding to start stealing food right off the plates of our BBQ guests :rolleyes:....we decided free...

    skeleton chick but improving

    I am more surprised than anyone, but this little polish chick is doing great!! :D In addition to being starved and so malnourished she couldn't see, but she also had a crop that wouldn't empty one morning after she started eating on her own. We've managed every problem as they've come along and...

    skeleton chick but improving

    I think you're right. Seems like she is starting to see now. previously when I tried to make her drink from the nipple waterer, she would try to peck it and miss completely. This morning she drank a bunch on her own. She is also walking under the eco-glow on her own without me having to shove...

    I'm starting to suspect she might be blind. She does not flinch at all when something moves near her eye. She never talks at Bess until Bess has bumped in to her, and she falls over a lot. :/

    skeleton chick but improving

    Last weekend I got a polish chick and copper marans. the polish chick died Monday (impacted crop I believe) leaving my marans (we've named Bess) alone. She was distressed but a dog toy to cuddle with seemed to help in the interim. Yesterday I went and got another polish chick (I really want a...

    I have a polish chicks I picked up the weekend. I think she's just a few days old. She is so tiny (and cute as you can see). I have noticed she has had a little bit of runny droppings. I cleaned pasty butt off her yesterday but it was just a little bit. this morning I checked and her crop...

    feed and water setup for flock that includes bantams

    I would love to see pics of the set ups for flocks that have bantams mixed in. Right now I have a hanging feeder that is up high enough that my standard chickens can reach but not poop in it. I use a bright tap igloo cooler waterer. It is on top of a cinder block so it is at eye level of the big...

    number of chickens and legal limits.

    When filling out the numbers of my flock, another chicken enthusiast went in with me on a hatchery order. As will happen they threw in extra chicks, which ended up putting me one over the legal limit in my area? Someone told me not to worry about it because "there are no chicken police going...
