    8 Months Now

    It's been 8 months and then some. I remember because I bought them on April Fool's day, thinking I was going to become a fool. In some ways, I have. The 6 chix are all hens and we get nearly a half dozen eggs every day. It's just me and the GF. WAAAAAAAAAAY too many eggs! But the dawgs get...

    3 Months Later

    So, it went from 7 days to 3 months. As my comfort grew, I was less chicken focused, but a lot of things have happened, been done, since they were just a week old. First, the brooder/trough became too small around 4 weeks and the GF was suggesting permanent neck injuries if I did not get their...

    Chicken World Day 3

    Thank God it's Friday!!! So now we're all settled in, for as long as it lasts. I sprinkle more food into the trough 2-3 times a day over a paper towel. I add more paper towels over the last ones so the floor is getting really soft, and tomorrow I have bigger chores. It's time to: clean out...

    Day 2 Chicken World

    Day 2 - Chicken World So we were watching our new chix as they were getting their pecking order established and we noticed this one RIR giving a BPR a hard time, pecking at her eyes, it seemed. Christine has no tolerance for this, so she swatted it with her fingers. Bt it got up and went...

    Day 7

    Day 7 - It's about Poop! Yesterday I noticed my Red making a watery puddle that was a brownish, brick color so I'm all nervous about coccidia. My neighbor suggests that is what one has, and if one has it, more will. He suggested I get Sulfamet even though I have Amprolium in the feed. I've...

    Day 1 - Chicken World In the past, Spring has always meant that plants were going to bloom again. I could go outside and play in the dirt. The sun would shine, the birds would sing, and plants would grow. Well, this year, things are different, very, very different. Okay, maybe this does not...

    How many forum posters does it take to change a lightbulb?

    Who needs a light bulb? My monitor's working just fine in the dark!

    Moving to OR, do I need to insulate now?

    Central Oregon! yes, you will need to insulate and a lamp might be useful too. Do you have bird tolerant of the cold? Some do better then others.

    Brick colored watery poops

    Well, I've seen some pictures of poop here, and it's not bloody, or at least I do no think it is bloody, but it is a reddish brick color and not much thicker then water. Are they battling coccidia? Are they winning? I see them get up and run around when I come up to the brooder. None are...
