    Thick Saliva + Sudden Death = Infectious?

    On the off chance that someone is looking for help with a similar situation, I would like to add to my earlier post. Two more of my chickens have now died. I wasn't there for either Alice or Merry Gold's passing, but my neighbor tells me she saw Alice die from her kitchen window. Apparently...

    Thick Saliva + Sudden Death = Infectious?

    Went out to care for my hens as usual this morning, and noticed my Coraline was sprawled out in a fluffy lump and did not respond to me as usual, just looked up at me rather than jumping up for treats. Picked her up, and she seemed normal (clear eyes, good color skin, comb, no wounds or...

    Boy??? RIR???

    I got a RIR chick from the pullet bin last year and everybody I asked told me it was a roo. It had a huge comb, bright red wattles, beautiful rooster tail, and ruled the coop by three weeks old. Happily I can report that even today WENDY may be an almost dead ringer for a roo but SHE lays very...

    Bantam Friends - What are we?

    These guys were in an assorted bin at the local farm store and the lady working had no idea what a bantam even was, let alone what hatchery they came from. Doesn't really matter what they are, the kids love them regardless, but we were just wondering. (By the way they're on Facebook as Vic's...

    Old timer method - poll

    Actually tried something similar to this on my 5 TSC chicks last spring! I'd heard that if you hold them in your hands and lay them on their backs with their heads lower than their legs, boys will stick their legs out and girls will pull them in. I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try. 4 of...

    Owning Chickens in Missouri

    Same question here. Does anybody know about Clinton, MO chicken rules? We've got 5 sweet girls in a huge chicken tractor and I'm really hoping they can come with me when we move. Right now I'm more focusing on finding a job.

    Sunflower Chickens

    So I've been looking at some Polish chickens recently and am extreamly tempted to get myself a pullet/hen. I've tried talking to the lady who owns them, but she basically just fills their feeders/waterers and thats it. No idea about temprament, egg laying ability, health issues, heat/cold...

    Help! My chickens wont go up to their bed - at night

    from KS! Do they have a light in their coop? It may be too "dark and scary" for them to go inside at night on their own, I know mine had problems with that. I put up a string of solar powered lights and they were much better about getting themselves to bed. Good luck!
