    Fat footed rooster?

    Not limping or anything? My best guess is some kind of inflammatory process...his scales don't look normal and it could be a scale mite infestation, but the swelling could be distorting his scales also, so may not be. I'd try soaking his feet in a warm epsom salts bath, scrub them gently with...

    Plymouth Rock thread!

    I'd say this is a case of a writer who knows absolutely nothing about their subject but are just writing anyway. I think they are confusing White Rocks with Cornish Rock cross birds...the bird they have in the picture in that article is NOT a Plymouth White Rock...if it is, someone has done...

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat - Part 2 : Chicken Boogaloo.

    It wouldn't hurt to take the time to do a little training on your cats. That's what I have done in the past and it works rather well. I just let them see the chicks from the beginning and correct any overt hunting/stalking behavior the presence of the chicks provokes. Never had to correct...

    The Science Of Feeding Grit To Poultry

    Well, that's where chickens find it out on the land...no dishes there. When I do go out of my way to get any grit of any kind, I just dump it on the ground outside the coop door and let them sort it out.

    Thoughts On This Coop From TSC

    That makes sense and is something I can understand. We don't often hear the full story or background on a person's decisions to get chickens until much much later, so to get to hear the way folks come around to such things and the thinking behind it is very helpful. Thanks for responding and...

    FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

    That's too bad, because smell is your biggest indicator...as the fermentation deepens, the smell is VERY rank and sour, then people report that it goes from that to a rotten smell and they see black mold forming on the top of the feed. With that kind of hindrance, I'd just err on the side of...

    LGD-where to kennel/sleep?

    That sounds so good to hear about Huck! I love it that he seems set on working, even at this young age. That bodes well for his future, I'd say. That he's staying with the flock is just wonderful! Could be you'll see him take the lead and even correct your female if she gets too playful...

    LGD-where to kennel/sleep?

    I think you'll need to do your training on the chickens and other things with her before you can let them work together, but if they have play time together, just let them establish their own pack order. One will take the lead and one will be their right hand man, so to speak. Sounds like Huck...

    Plymouth Rock thread!

    When he matures, it will be LOUD. He may not start to crow until 5-6 mo. of age.

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    So that's how it goes, huh? After you placed your order did you start thinking about a chicken coop? Good move, BTW, chickens over goats.

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat - Part 2 : Chicken Boogaloo.

    Poor, poor kid. I blame the parents, not the school. How does a kid get that old and no one has told them the facts of life?

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    I had forgotten that. Now I can pick your brain case....I've always wondered about the thinking behind such actions and if you ask, folks think you are putting them down, but it helps me to try and understand if I know what folks are thinking about when they get an animal before they have a...
