    COCHIN LARGE FOWL EGG COLOR

    Thank you for your reply :-) I was told at the feed store that she would lay white eggs. Reason why I was asking. I have 2 other chickens with her, a Cuckoo Maran, Barnvelder. Both have been laying dark dark brown eggs and brown with specks on them. I was looking for white from her, so now...

    Rats and Mint

    Hi folks, I read about using Mint so help get rid of Rats in an area. Is there a particular kind of Mint? I bought Pineapple and spearmint at the store in a pot, didn't see just Mint? I also have put out Tom bait chunks inside the Bait container and have not seen the bait eaten at all yet...

    my little chick lived to be almost 3 weeks. She never grew, stayed the size of a 3 days old. I don't know what was wrong, I had named her Sasha and she thought I was her Mom. I was with her night and day, she died on my chest, she looked right up at me, just like she did when I helped her...

    SAW RATS IN MY COOP! Will Mint harm chickens

    They run under the coop area, can't get under it to see. I bought a rat trap for rats today. Going to set it up in the pen area that's around the coop tonight. They are so brave. They come out in the day to while chickens are out in the yard.

    Could you please pray?

    I'm so sorry your baby didn't make it. You did all you could. Yes, pups, kittens can survive but keeping the area sterile is important for a positive outcome.
