    10 week old brahma chicks are thin

    The feed is 18% protein, 3% fat. Their stools are normal and they seem to be eating fine. They are active and alert. They are big, as big as my Leghorns right now. Maybe they're just growing.

    City of Tuscaloosa ordinance for backyard chickens???

    Here's a link to the city code on fowl. I hope this helps. I ask my husband where to find the code and he knew where to go since he's an attorney and went to school at Alabama. I grew up in Northport so Tuscaloosa is sort of home...

    ADM Pen Pals Egg Maker Complete and Egg Maker Balancer

    I've been feeding the ADM complete feed for years and I've had no problems. I like not having to worry about mixing. I still give a little scratch when it's cold to help keep them warm. I like that it comes in pellets. Mine seem to not waste as must with pellets.

    Fire Safety in your Chicken Coop & Barn - IMPORTANT!

    I'm so sorry about your loss. I know you can't replace that which you losted, but thank god nobody was hurt and with this message maybe you can prevent this from happening to someone else. You are right about the clamps on lights. I had one fall off and almost catch a breeding pen on fire...

    Can the cckens have the turkey carcass?

    If your talking about the leftover turkey carcasses from thankgiving, yes. My girls love it and they will pick every last bit of meat off it. After all chickens are omnivores.

    Has anybody else had a chook hatch out ducks?????????

    I've had several hens hatch out ducklings. I had better luck with the hens hatching them out than the ducks. I had a silkie hen who rolled 3 duck eggs under the chicken coop and hatched all 3. It was so cute.

    Kittens eating chicken feed!

    Our barn cats will eat any horse feed that is spilled. I don't think it will hurt her.

    Dog Nail...quick hanging out. *Graphic Picture*

    My terrier has done this a couple of times and all I did was clean it and wrap the foot in vetrap for a few days so he wouldn't hit it on any thing as it was sore to the touch.

    Euthanasia for our 14 year old lab - tough decision

    I know just what you are going through! In June we had to put down our English Setter that was 15 years old. She had moved here with us from Texas 12 years ago. Old age had finally caught up with her and she was having a hard time standing and getting up plus she had lost her hearing. Then...

    This morning my friend called me to let me know that my Silkie, Snowflake, died last night. She has been keeping my chickens for me since we moved and are in the process of building a new coop. Snow has been a favorite with everybody as she loved to be held and cuddled. She was 5 years old...
