You cannot control whether a person loves you. You can only BE the kind of person someone wants to love.

A lot of it depends on where you live too. I know in NJ groceries have gone up like crazy. It's honestly much cheaper to get a pizza out than to cook your own meal. We do not eat like kings by any means and I buy just what's on sale...no snack foods...and I spend well over $600 a month for my...

Golden definately!

I have the same problem with my polish sometimes. I am just afraid to stick her head in water because I am so scared I will get water down her nostrils and drown her.

Welcome to the forums! I live in NJ as well and I thought everyone in the neighborhood would think I was a weirdo for having chickens around here. Turned out another guy around the block has them too and I never knew it. lol I live in Northern NJ, where are you? My sister lives in...

Thank you Denise. Thats exactly the advice I needed and the hope I was praying for.

I am going to be taking care of her wound soon and what I really need to know most of all if anyone can answer is this: Do I clean the old ointment off and wash out the wound or just reapply more ointment and redress?

I just saw this on ebay..... http://cgi.ebay.com/Oxytetracycline-343-For-Poultry-Swine_W0QQitemZ110339013599QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/Duramycin-10-Water-Soluable-Tetracycline-Antibiotic_W0QQitemZ120355437718QQcmdZViewItemQQptZBI_Farm_Supplies Are either of these an ok antibiotic to use?

Well I let them all out today to free range and they seemed pretty happy about it. I even brought my poor injured Wyandotte, Gabby, out for a while to stretch her legs in a less muddy area. She's all bandaged up so the wound stays clean. I am exhausted. I emptied the old hay from the run and...

There are 8 chickens in the coop currently...the coop size I cant remember exactly at the moment but ten used to be in there and there wasn't a problem however it was spring and summer and they were able to free range then. The run is a good size but could be a little bigger. There is hay on...

I patted her dry with a spare towel and put her in a laundry basket for now until my daughter brings home a box. I put her in my spare bathroom in the dark for now to settle down. I just checked her and she seems to be quiet for now. I ran to to drug store before I got a reply to find some...

When I went out to lock up my chickens tonight I found blood in the coop. One of my chickens has been picked to shreds on her left side near her hind end. There is a big chunk missing and skin hanging. I think the other chickens must have attacked her and just kept going at it. I brought her in...
