    my new chicken tractor for my spring chicks. pic heavy!

    My husband and I built our new chicken tractor today. I am so happy with it. It took us an entire afternoon and cost about $50.00 Now I can put the up and coming babies in it because they have outgrown the box we made for them.

    WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? WHAT DID YOU JUST RECEIVE?

    Yes it is breaking my heart every time I take another dead baby out of the box. 4 dead so far with this batch. Never again. I will never again order bantams.

    WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? WHAT DID YOU JUST RECEIVE?

    My vet does not do chickens. They are strictly farm produce in this area. The common saying is chicken have two states of being.. Alive and dead, I hate having all these babies dying and not being able to do anything for them. Thanks for listening to me vent anyway.

    WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? WHAT DID YOU JUST RECEIVE?

    My neighbor and I went in together and ordered 10 buff orpingtons, 4 partridge rocks, 2 speckled sussex all pullets. Then 15 straight run bantam clean legged assortment. Of the 18 bantam we received we lost 14 to shipping stress. I was very upset! McMurray Hatchery sent us 16 more bantam and a...

    How to tame chicks (teaching them to not be afraid of you)

    The only thing you would have to change would be the crust. If you know of a gluten free pie crust use that. I use a pie crust recipe off of allrecipe.com called Grandma Ruth's Pie Crust. It is probably the best crust I have ever tried, ever. And I like pie. Sadly it is not gluten free. They...

    Gayleyy that is exactly what I needed! Thank you ever so much! I don't know if I have the guts to cut into Gumshoe by myself but I have a neighbor who might be willing to help me. I have been soaking his feet with Epsom salts. He seems to like that and I have thought about Neosporin as that is...

    K9Dave I suspect it is weird to really like chickens but I cannot help it. When we first moved here my neighbor had chickens and would tell me how much she really enjoyed them. I thought she was weird, lol. Now I am buying birds with her! We just split a shipment from McMurray Hatchery. I have a...

    Thank you Sumi, for the nice welcome. I hope I get some advice. I am certainly lacking any knowledge in treating wounded birds. Mostly what we have done is leave them alone and either they die or they don't. But, I really like Gumshoe. He is easy going and has a nice crow. He talks to me and...
