we're in NW Atlanta and have room for a 'roo. If you still have him, could you tell me more about his temperament?

how soon do you need to move them? We live in Atlanta and make our way up to Asheville each Fall. Our free-range hens are aging (6yrs+) and need some younger hens to join them so the coop stays warm this winter. Can take all.

my chickies have tapeworms. What dewormer do you love, and where do you buy it?

One of our 5 mo old Aussie chicks got spooked into a wire fence today. She got herself wedged and the hubby & son pulled her out. When I checked the chicks tonight, she's bleeding from a gash on her underbelly just behind the ribcage. She has some small bleeders, probably broken feathers, but...
