    Need to rehome pullets/chicks (W-NW Georgia) - FREE !!

    Figured younger would be more desirable and easier to incorporate into an existing flock.

    Need to rehome pullets/chicks (W-NW Georgia) - FREE !!

    Thanks for asking. I'm about 90 minutes away, but willing to travel. As for reason for rehoming, I purchased too many chicks. I have 12 older girls and thought I needed to start replenishing ... though the older ones are only giving me an egg a day (total, not each) they're healthy. I'm now...

    Need to rehome pullets/chicks (W-NW Georgia) - FREE !!

    Thank you. I tried TSC. Staff didn't know anyone and only suggested I "post it on bulletin board". Went looking for the bulleting board ... its tucked way in the back of the store, on wall down a hallway leading to the bathrooms. Not a high profile spot and won't be noticed unless folks...

    What's this?

    Amazing ... didn't realize pulling down on the waddles would allow "easy" access to administer oral medication. I'll try that tonight when I do my evening "beak & butt count". As for passing the rest of the egg, @Eggcessive you were spot on. This morning there was a clear gel like substance...

    What's this?

    Thank you for the quick response! It does look like egg membrane, does that mean there may be broken shells inside her? I've ordered the Enrofloxacin, but will take 3-4 days to get here. Anything I can do in the mean time to keep her reasonably well and help pass the rest of what might be...

    What's this?

    Hi all, noticed a chicken with bad poopy butt and was cleaning her up when I noticed long (2-3 inch) "tubes" that were obviously not poop. After rinsing as much of the poop off her rump, i gently grasped one of the two "tubes" and ever so gently pulled to see if it was caught in her feathers...

    Winter is almost upon us, you know what that means!

    I’m not sure if it’s right, but I’ve been freezing eggs when I had too many. I’ll take a couple dozen fresh eggs and blend them up. I then pour 50 g in the egg bite molds (Instant Pot). 50g ~ 1 large egg. I snap the lid on and put in the freezer. Next day I pop them out and use my food...

    Broody hen no eggs?

    Here we are 5 years later, and I am experiencing what this thread was discussing. I have a broody Golden Comet (didn't think they went broody). It's been 3 weeks (at least). I first did the whole warm Epsom salt bath thinking she might have a stuck egg ... but she pooped just fine ... tail up...

    Can a hen give out a warning call?

    I only have hens. As I’m learning their “vocals” have different meanings. I’m familiar with the “I’ve laid an egg” squawk and the “your ignoring us” and “let us out” squawks. There has also been the coo’ing noise as all hens face the same direction as though it’s an alert of some-sort out in...

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    Hi, just found this GA thread. Hope to connect more with folks in the area (W-NW of Marietta/Atlanta). How do we find folks in our specific area given folks in TN and AL are closer than anyone south or east of Atlanta. I’m in search of a vet that will see/care for chickens, if anyone has...

    Need to rehome 7 Gldn Comet hens - Georgia (WNW)

    I have 7 Golden Comet hens that are excellent layers of beautiful brown med-large eggs. They are coming up on 16 months old (hatched April 3, 2022). I am rehoming because I don't have the room in the hen house for them and the new chicks that are coming online (I fell victim to chicken math...

    have what looks like blood blister on foot

    What is great about this BYC forum is a thread that is nearly 10 years old can help solve a mystery today! One of my hens has a similar "blood blister" and any "chicken/aviary/exotic" vet has no availability or on vacation. As summer is now coming on I've seen an abundance of spiders...
