    Hello! I love your design and know that it will work for me since we're almost sort of neighbors - I'm in Upstate NY! So I just wanted to ask you a few questions about the dimensions of the coop - you say it's 10'x10' is that the coop size or the run size? If it's the coop size, what is the...

    Derperella, the (weird) Faverolles, & Friends

    I don't have any SF yet, but I do have a pair of Buff Orps and a pair of Welsummer hens...and a Welsummer Roo. My Roo? HE'S the talkative one in my flock. Always talking to someone, some chick or someTHING...yesterday...he was talking to a stump. Yep, an honest to goodness stump. I just give him...

    Good Morning everyone, I just wanted to update you on Daisy. This picture is from Sunday, 7-15-2012 @ 2pm. This is right before her 4th dose of Tylan 50. She is doing MUCH better. I've been washing her eye out at least once a day, some days I'm able to wash it out twice. I haven't seen...

    I've never been to a Swap before. This would be my first one and I'm going to mainly get rid of the Roosters. I have a Buff Orp and a Wellie...the Buff is just TOO BIG for my smaller girls and the Wellie is just too much of a scaredy cat. I can't bring home more birds, the hubby won't let me...

    Now that you say it like that, i won't treat the rest of the flock. I'm just worried that somebody else may have "it"...but I understand how it works. Me just being a nervous mother hen lol... I will post pictures as we go, it helps me so that I can see how she's doing too. I bought the...

    Swollen eyelid and swollen flesh around eye

    Thank you for replying so quickly! Monday, July 9, 2012 @ 7:00pm ^ Wednesday, July 11, 2012 @ 8:30am ^ Did your BR start off like this? Also did you treat the rest of your flock or did anybody else show signs of this? I'm thinking I'm going to give a small dose (maybe 1/4 cc or the...

    The other eye is fine, along with all the eyes of my other birds. I have no idea HOW she could've been exposed to a respiratory bug...I am going to clean the coop out and disinfect it all with a diluted bleach solution as soon as the shade comes around, and also clean out all the old bedding...

    Swollen eyelid and swollen flesh around eye

    What was your dosage for your chicken? I've got a welsummer doing the exact same thing and I see you gave her 1/2cc but was that once or twice a day? Also did you notice the ointment doing anything for here before the antibiotics? It appears I will be making my way to TSC tonight to pick up...

    Hi everybody this is an updated picture from this morning. It seems to be a little worse than 36 hours ago, but she's still not acting funny. The whole area around her eye is starting to look puffy. How long should I let it go before I do something about it? And then...what DO I do about it?

    Thanks CMV As an update - this morning and again this lunch time I've checked her and she's not changed. It's no better, but also no worse. Daisy's attitude hasn't changed at all either, still comes running for treats, still eating well and digging in the compost like a chick on her way to...

    Oh! Sorry forgot that part. Yes, I've had her since she was about 3 days old, and have not added any new birds ever. I go out and check out my flock at least twice a day. Morning and Evening. They are supervised free-range birds for about 2-4 hours in the afternoon after the heat dies down...
