    Limp leg

    As far as I know she was never vaccinated. We got her from TSC over two years ago so she's about 2 years. The only change in environment is a new bird that was a rescue from a downtown shopping center, but we kept her quarantined for 2 months before introducing her.

    Limp leg

    Today while tending my birds I noticed one of my RSL laying on her side unable to move. When I picked her up, I noticed that one leg is completely limp. With her right leg, she can stand and hop, and will try to perch on my arm. With her left, there is no movement, and she cannot even tuck it up...

    When to move chicks and ducklings outside?

    Im raising both duckling and chicks in the same brooder. At this point, the 3 ducks TOWER over the 8 chicks, even though they're only 3 weeks and a few days old. I have their coop set up, as I planned on the spending some time together before integrating them with the rest of my flock. The days...

    Question about chicken's run

    I am new to building anything to do with chickens. I have some experience watching over chickens for a few families that go out of town regularly. They have 3 chickens in a pen that seems kind of small. When they first built the pen, the grass in their run was very lush. Now there is nothing but...

    New From KY!!!

    I'm originally am from Lexington, KY, but recently moved to Virginia. I like that here there is plenty of space to raise chickens, but I do miss my UK Wildcats. Kind of a fair trade off I guess.

    Anyone else in the Commonweath of Va?

    I'm in Augusta county now, moved here from KY a few years ago. Different for sure, but it's not too bad. I do like that where I live now allows chickens. I just get my feed from TSC, that's the only place I have found that sells supplies.

    Hello all!

    They're getting the DuMor chick starter. I think some of them are different ages. The RSL are tiny compared to the Tetra Tints, about a third of the size. The leghorns are between the two breeds. Is this going to effect what kind of feed they need? They are getting probiotics in their water...

    Hello all!

    I have been snooping around this site for months now, and since I got my first chicks last night, I figured it would be the perfect time to join! TSC was running low on the red sex links, so I had to get an assortment of them. I'm hoping they can all get along. I have 3 RSL, 3 White Leghorns and...
