    Going to check for bugs in a second...how do you worm a chicken? Is it something I can pick up at the feed store? Thanks for the direction!

    Sick chicken...one of my Dominique's is not right!! Her comb and waddle have lost all their color (bright red to faded orange) over the past week and lately she's been fairly lethargic. Even the dog ignores her now because she won't react to her anymore! She's only about 10 months old and one...

    So...we have run into a fairly difficult financial situation and need to begin cutting costs and unfortunately our lovely hens are a cost that we are going to try and minimize. We love them dearly, but feel the need to reduce our small flock to a smaller flock. We've sat staring at them for days...

    Does anybody have a animal trap they'd be willing to lend out? Pretty pretty please with an egg on top?!?! We've got this skunk that will NOT go away. I'd rather not poison it and those traps are not the cheapest things in the world. I'm in La Mesa and can drive anywhere nearby. Thanks so much!!

    Hmm....my last reply vanished...oh well, here's the short version. Yes to Rita! She is da cooooooolest!! Tell her Pepper sent ya! If you're headed that way, make a trip out of it and either before or after the feed store you MUST go about 2 minutes past Double S to the county park (Flynn...

    Yeppa, depends on where you live in the county. I'm in La Mesa and we absolutely love Double S tack and feed in El Cajon. I won't say anything negative about two others I've been to (one in El Cajon and one in San Diego), but I find double s to have the best prices for feed and supplies as well...

    I had a red shoulder snag my little sussex a couple months ago, but she wasn't the brightest hen and I think the hawk waited till I was inside. Then a big red tail swooped in on my biggest meanest SLW a few weeks ago, but as it turns out the hawk picked the wrong chicken. Chicken-1. Hawk-0...

    Comment by 'chickypeps' in item 'Wyandotte'

    Funny you mention the predator/wyandotte thing, I have a dozen hens (2 are SLW), and the only one to get pounced on by a huge red tail hawk was my biggest SLW. But I have to give that chicken some credit. She's kind of a rowdy lady and actually took the hawk to town with the only loss being a...

    Comment by 'chickypeps' in item 'Ameraucana'

    I have 5 breeds and I have to agree about the lack of taming. My 2 Ameraucana's are totally looney even though they were raised exactly like their buddies. Still fun, just a little nutty.

    Review by '' on item '12 lb. Metal Hanging Poultry Feeder'

    Holds a bunch of feed for 9 hens for about a week. Like previous reviews, it does indeed have a problem with its low feed, trough level. I ended up drilling about 16 smallish hole along the bottom edge so that when the feed was low I could spin the feeder, forcing more feed into the trough and...
