    Share Pics of your Farm Dogs

    Can anyone tell me how we can introduce our 6 (5month old) hens to a new Yellow Lab Puppy. I want the chickens to be able to free range in the yard and have the puppy (and later dog) to be able to be out there too. I see it's possible from some of the pictures. I'm thinking the chickens will...

    How Much DE/Food Ratio?

    I put the DE in yogurt (which they all love!) and they gobbled it all up. Is it OK to do it that way? I hope so since I've already done it!

    I have a sick chicken and need some help!

    It really looks like something different than the sunbathing thing. She's definitely acting odd and none of the other birds are doing this. Sometimes I find her just standing with her eyes closed. She's not even picking on the two newbies that she used to run off when they came around. I...

    I have a sick chicken and need some help!

    Can someone help me?!! I have a 4 -5 month old Rhode Island Red that is acting very sick. She lays around and sleeps a lot, but then sometimes gets up and tries to act normal. She has been laying on her side with her tail raised up and one wing spread out. I went and got some Duramycin-10...

    An introduction from a brand new BYC enthusiast

    My husband and I moved to Redding, CA a year ago from Gold Canyon, AZ. We bought a nice older home with an awesome view of the Trinity Alps and have been renovating it. We are so happy to be living in a beautiful, green area where we can grow vege's and yes, (even though we're inside the city...

    My second post and another question from a brand new chickens owner.

    I love the quick and helpful responses! Thanks so much!! I can't figure out how to post pictures of my coop and chickens on my BYC profile page. Can someone direct me to where I can learn how to do that?

    Brand new to the Chicken world and need help!

    Thanks for all the help. You know it's weird to me that even though the four are picking on the two new ones all day, they seem to have a truce or something at night because they all file up the ladder when they know it's time to go to bed and jump up on the roost bars in the coop. There is a...

    My second post and another question from a brand new chickens owner.

    Can anyone tell me when (what time of day) do chickens lay their eggs? My 6 girls are only 4 to 5 months old and haven't started laying yet, but if they lay in the morning, I don't want to let them out of the coop to early before they have all laid their eggs. Also, we only have two nest boxes...

    Brand new to the Chicken world and need help!

    I finally figured out how to post something here! My dilemma is this.... We finished our coop and got 2 Rhode Island Reds (we were told they were approx. 4 mos. old) and on the same day from another farm, 2 Black Copper Marans (supposedly the same age). The Reds were double the size of the...
