    Not sure what is wrong

    After research today and looking closer we think the poor peep has a broken wing. Any ideas how to splint it ?

    Not sure what is wrong

    We had a peep hatch on Sunday night. We moved it into the brooder at that time. We found our older peeps were picking on it so we placed it in a tub in the brooder. I found my cat trying to get the peep. After inspecting the peep I noticed it was bleeding from the wing area. Since then it...

    Amish fireplace

    My husband actually works for the company that markets these. Yes the mantels are all amish made, and the heater inserts come from China. We haven't purchased one yet so I don't know about the efficancy or if they even work.

    Hens, Hens about to lay or Roos?

    We have a total of 6 RIR. 2 have much bigger wattles. I think they are roos, however my DH thinks they may be Hens about to lay. ETA: They are about 20 weeks. (Thought I put that, must have just thought it not typed it)

    Weird phobias?

    Quote: How could I forget balloons? Maybe because subconsciously even writing the word is scary! My kids have never had balloons at their bday parties and we avoid restaurants that give away balloons or use them for decorations. Hate 'em Yes! I'm not alone in my balloon hate! Nails on a...

    Normal Poop? **With pictures**

    I currently have 6 RIR that are about 20 weeks old. Today when feeding them I noticed that 1 had some blood in her poop. She was very lethargic and didn't give me any problems while picking her up. She has since been isolated on the other side of the yard, with her own food and water. She is...

    why I was worried about selling on craigslist - scam

    My husband had an ad on CL recently to pick up scrap. He got a phone call this week for some cars, aluminum, and copper. He called the guy back yesterday about it and it was someone playing a joke on someone else. He gave the poor guy that the joke was on the number of who called. Thankfully...

    A remark that deflates me like a popped balloon

    I used to get the "When are you having kids" from DH family. My response would always be when would you pay for them, or that I already have kids (2 dogs, 2 cats). Now that we have the chickens they are less than thrilled (excepts the little ones) But hey I have always been the farm girl and...

    Strange Coops?

    I had my husband take an old shopping cart and turn it into a small outside area for the peeps. They just love it. Before that we were using a couple of old framed window screens with potted plants to keep them held up. This is alot more secure and the kids that are coming over for the...

    Windows

    Quick question. I am completely new to this and I am trying to make the plans for our coop. What size and how many windows should we have? The coop will be 8'x8' and have a 30 inch man door and a 12"x12" door to the run. Also we don't plan on putting a floor in so that we can do the deep...

    Hello all, We are from Trumbull County. I am very new to raising chickens. My husband kept joking that he was getting Chickens and then I woke up the other morning and he had come home from Tractor Supply with some. I am glad to have found all of you because he is from the city and has even...
