I'm interested in some of your eggs if the girls lay more. Willing to wait Thanks!

I love it! It's got personality

Where can I find Vet Rx at? Tried Co-Op and Tractor Supply with no luck. Do I get it from vet? My hen has exact same thing going on with her eye.

I was searching and came across your post. If you chicken is really fluffed up and her head is fluffy looking as well, she probably has cocci. I experienced this with my chickens earlier in the year and lost several before I was able to diagnose. If this sounds like what is going on with your...

Thanks so much for all the info. I've only had mites one other time that was on a hen that was sitting. I'm going to try the Adams and if that doesn't work try the vinegar. But this time I'll be wearing my shower cap and trash bag before I go in! Those mites give me the hee-bee gee-bees!

I'm having a mite problem in my coup. But here is the kicker....my chickens have just been treated last week with ivomec as a preventitive before I realized there was a problem. I've not found any on my birds, I've dusted the coup with sevin dust yet there are still mites. But they seem to be...

Once a chicken has been diagnosed with cocci and the flock has been treated with sulmet, what comes next? Do I need to do any extra special cleaning of the coup? I have disposed of all nesting boxes because I believe that is where the problem originated. Chickens that should be roosting were...

Carolyn, I agree, but I was going to let you make the call.

"The Cracking Egg"

I love Ideal Poultry. But once when I ordered from them they sent me blue cochins instead of self blue. I called and told them and she stated at the time of shipping they didn't have self blue so they substituted the others. Then she told me the self blue I ordered could be shipped out the...

I honestly don't know. I've always liked my bantys so much that I've never educated myself on the standard breeds. We did have some black jersey giants for about a month and I always shewd him away from the banty girls because I thought he'd break their backs if he got on them. I don't know...

I don't need any roosters, but I do have 1 buff cochin bantam hen I need to sale. You are probably wanting standard size, but I thought I'd post just in case. She is almost a year old, lays daily, and has already hatched some chicks out this spring. I'm asking $8 for her. I also have some...

She's just going through the awkward teenage stage....I bet she turns out to be really pretty

Hey tinkinhunting, check out my avatar! Great minds think alike.

Our little 7 pound silky terrier killed 2 chicks in one day. She eats lizards and has caught squirrels before too. Our chihuahua wouldn't even dream of doing such. Some dogs are just bred with that in them and some aren't. Its almost like they can't help it. We just have to be extra...
