    So how MUCH grit do they need? Free choice?

    Can chicken get heartworms like a dog can?

    From what I recall from when I worked at a vet, heartworms are almost exclusive to dogs. Cats get them, but not as often or as easily as dogs. Those are the only animals I personally know of that can get heartworms.

    Well, my timing was perfect. I walked into the feedstore with Peter/Petunia to give him back to the owner. As she went to get a box, a man kind of peered into the cat carrier I had the rooster in. "Is that an Orpington rooster?" "Yes," I replied. "Sooo.... what are you doing with him?"...

    I'm not entirely convinced this bird is a female.... When its tail feathers came in, I remember being a little worried of it being male since the tail feathers first "pronged." Its hackle feathers are pointed, not rounded like the other EE I have... More pics...

    Now I'm nervous. I posted these pics on Homesteading Today, too, and someone suspects that this EE is male, too. I'll take more pics. Hopefully it's you two that are correct on its gender...

    Thanks y'all. At least I only have to rehome one. I just got off the phone with the feed store where I got them. The woman actually has a waiting list of people looking for roosters, so hopefully, HE will get rehomed before he starts to crow and upset my neighbors.

    And LOL at your "New Rule." If I had the room, I'd definitely adopt your rule as one we follow here, too!

    Thank you... Off to Craigslist he goes, then. I guess my Petunia is a Peter.

    I'm also a little worried about this Ameraucana being male: Thanks for any input.

    I've already been told one of my Buff Orpingtons is a cockeral, but because this is my favorite chicken, I'm desperately seeking a second opinion, even though I'm not holding my breath. The chicken in question is the Buff Orpington on the left. They are all two months old. By law, I'm only...

    Hi from Georgia!

    Hi all! I have a quad of chickens - two Buff Orpingtons and two Ameraucanas. These are my first chickens. I'm actually concerned one or two are male, even though they were sold to me as females (but I know sexing a baby chick isn't always 100% positive), so I hope to post pics soon. Hope...
