    Is this a Male of Female Polish Chicken

    Hello Everyone, We got the baby chick and was wondering if it is a Male of Female. We are starting to hear some strange noises almost like a male chicken. Thank You in advance. The other hens have pulled her/his head feathers out so they are just growing back now but still a big bald spot in...

    Fox attacked Chicken. Neck Wound deep

    Hello, Our Americana has a deep wound on her neck. It is very deep and big. We have been spraying bacteria spray on it but don't know what else to do. It is too big and jagged superglue together and the feathers get in the way. Any advice. We are on day 3 and she is still alive. We are...

    All my hens started laying this week. 4 Month to 7 Month old.

    Funny thing happened this week. My daughters birthday was coming up, she is 6 now, and we have 5 hens some are 4 months old and some are 6 months old and one is 7 months old.

    Has anyone heard of a Barn Builder breed of chicken?

    I was just at Mill Valley Chickens and she had a Barn Builder Hen. You can look up Leslie and email her. She might be able to give you more information.

    Baby chick 1 day old not eating.

    Chick died after one day. It never ate on its own and never pee'd or poop'd. I think it was just a sickly chick to begin with. The people we bought if from Mill Valley Chickens replaced her next time they had new chicks come in and the new chick is doing fine. Thanks for all of the advice.

    Baby chick 1 day old not eating.

    Thanks. I put sugar in the water and she does not drink it. I also tried scramble eggs and she did not touch them either. I will put some sugar in the syringe and give that a try also. The pedialyte is what you give children if they are dehydrated so I figure it might work with the chick.

    Baby chick 1 day old not eating.

    I have been reading through the threads and gotten all the advice. I just wanted to ad my 2 cents. I am using Pedialyte ( I have a 4 month old so had it on hand) for my chick and it seems to be keeping her alive today. She is not eating or drinking so I am using a syringe to give her some...

    Baby Chick not eating or drinking HELP!

    Get a syringe or eye dropper and buy Pedialyte for babies. That will keep them from getting dehydrated. I happen to have a new born and that seemed to do the trick. I also mixed in some rice cereal and the baby chick when from laying on its side when I got home to walking around after a few...

    Most people don't live in a house as nice as your chicken coop. Good job.

    4x3 Coop And Run

    Here is our Chicken coop and run. The house is 3lx4wx3h. The run is 4x7. used redwood and pressure treated wood. Still a work in progress. HomeDepot has self tapping screws which don't split the wood and use Torx bits. I highly recommend them. I used natural branches for the roost and am...
