    Found one of my hens dead today.

    Thanks for all your info! I just ordered the valbazen & the feed store sold me Wazine so I did put that in the water, I suppose a dose of each should do the trick. Thanks for all the help!

    Found one of my hens dead today.

    Ok, I'm off to the local feed store for chicken deworming medication and I'm going to deworm all of them. I don't want to lose anymore.

    Found one of my hens dead today.

    I checked the other 8 for lice/mites but found nothing. I'll search for the worms and see how to tell for that.

    Rooster in San Diego needs new home

    It was $69.10 to send him from California to Oklahoma. Not too bad, I just hope he gets there safe & sound and on time. I put paper shredding in the bottom, and he's traveling with an apple cut in half & a cucumber cut into quarters. He wasn't happy being in the box, he was trying to break...

    Rooster in San Diego needs new home

    I found the box for $6.60 & shipping for $12. I'll find out tomorrow how much the shipping with be from CA to OK. He's going overnight no matter what it costs...I'd rather pay a little more money to not have him sit in a truck or plane for an extra day. It'll probably be stressful enough for...

    Rooster in San Diego needs new home

    Seems that I'll need a USPS approved box to ship him in. I emailed a company to see how much shipping would be for one. When you shipped your hen, what did you ship her in?

    Rooster in San Diego needs new home

    I just read how to ship a bird on here. Any ideas what type of cardboard box? Would you like to see a picture of him also?

    Rooster in San Diego needs new home

    One of my 6 chicks that I got in October last year wound up being a rooster. I tried to keep him, but he's crowing earlier & earlier and roosters are forbidden in my city. He's a 6 month old Speckled Sussex. He's a beautiful bird, I can handle him, he's not aggressive at all. Is there anyone...

    Could Fiona really be Frank?

    He also has a waddle under his beak. I asked the older gentlemen that runs a local feed store, he has many many years of experience with chickens, and he looked at the picture and said "Yes, you have a rooster there". He said if my neighbors don't complain about 4 hens that make a fair amount...

    Could Fiona really be Frank?

    I bought 6 chicks the beginning of October they ranged from a few days to a week old. One of the chicks that I call Fiona, seems to have grown a comb way sooner than all the rest of them. She was one of the week old chicks, but the other two are just starting theirs. She's quite the...
