    How do you show chickens at fair?

    As I was saying (I ran out of room to write lol) :D Day of the show: My secret to poultry showing is "pro gloss". This helps your birds feathers shine as much as they can. Just make sure if you do use that to wash it out after the show or when you get home. I put pro gloss on 10 minutes...

    How do you show chickens at fair?

    I've been showing chickens for a while now and let me tell you, it's so much fun and it's worth your time and effort. Poultry showing is great because you don't have to spend a lot of money like other 4-h projects (cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats). *As for the showing part Start small! In...

    Broody Hen info

    It's a good idea to block her off from the others for the first few weeks. Make sure she can get any food or water she made need. Good luck!

    New hens and new to chickens

    This will take some time also. They need to get use to their new environment before they start laying. Also give them some yogurt. Yogurt has good bacteria in it and will help your hens digestive tract.

    Chicken pecked in eye!

    This will take some time to heal. She may go blind, but you have to keep the outside of the eye clean or else she will get a infection. As long as there is no green or thick like puss coming out of her eye she should heal. Keep her away from the other chickens (like in a dog kennel or...
