    Spraddle Leg in Older Chick?

    I have a chick that did the same thing. I found her unable to walk on March 31. I have brought her inside put her in a wooden box... and she is now standing a bit. But she mostly gets around by scooting or pulling herself by her beak. Everyone I talked to said cull, however, no family member...

    Crippled Foot? Please Help!!!

    I have a chick like this. Can't stand. everyone told me to cull her. Found her not standing on March 31. She is still alive and now scooting around. I tried sort of a duck tape snow shoe thing, then she couldn't move at all. I think I will try a bit of cardboard padded with a cotton ball and...

    HOT WEATHER FOR CHICKENS

    I buy small re freezable ice packs, the type you put into coolers. Some of the hens really like to just sit on them. I put them in the shade, in or near their favorite dust hole. I tried the frozen bottles, but sometimes they broke open. The "chick packs" are easy to clean and freeze. I...

    Two Many Roosters

    I need suggestions on managing me flock roosters. At this point I think I may have 2, maybe 3. Can I separate them from the flock ? Try to give them away ? I have had several bad experiences with full grown roo's

    My dog just killed our chicks

    My dogs got 2 of my 16 week old hens last night. I didn't count them as they were returning to the run for the night. I feel really awful also. I am sorry for your loss.

    Letting chickens out of the pen?

    My chickens have a large run protected with shade cloth, but when it gets close to 100 degrees I found it was best to let them out into the fenced yard and they tend to find the cooler spots. I have this little plan.. dogs inside at 1PM. Round up the chickens around 8PM. They will go in by...
