    Eating diseased chickens

    Their hearts looked normal size to me. I cooked them up in my crockpot and they smell delicious so I'm glad it's ok to eat them! Do you know what causes a chicken to get crop bound? I've lost 8 chickens - 4 hens and 4 roosters- in the last 2 months. I feed them a mixture of alfalfa pellets...

    Eating diseased chickens

    On Friday, Dec 26, I found a dead rooster in my coop and another having a lot of difficulty breathing. There were two others seemly ok still in the coop. The other 6 were already outside eating. I picked up the 2 good looking ones and noticed they were crop bound; their crops were huge! Since I...

    Does the person you bought the chicks from sell his fertile eggs cheaper than chicks? If so and he has some to sell, I'll give you my contact info so he can contact me if he doesn't want to give out his contact info. I'll also need to know where he lives. Kelly

    Thank you very much for your help! My broody hen is reliable but I can just put newly hatched chicks under her if they are cheaper than hatching eggs. Kelly

    I'm looking for lavender orpington hatching eggs that are pure - not mixed with another breed. I'm not really interested in breeder quality just some to add to my backyard flock. I'm in Wiggins. Kelly

    If anyone is interested, I have a registered Dexter cow that is bred (due in Aug 2013) and her 9 month old heifer calf for sale. I'm selling them as a pair as they don't like to be handled and I don't have a chute/barn to put them in to get them acclimated to being handled. They are both black...

    Grain-free chickens?

    I'm experimenting with feeding my chickens primarily mashed potatoes and comfrey leaves. They also get a lot of garden goodies. They are on pasture everyday being moved behind my cows so they get whatever they find in the cow manure along with pasture grasses/legumes/herbs. So far they look and...

    I found a Clarrisa Daniels from Picayune, lives in Gulfport on facebook. That page had pictures of dogs not chickens though.

    I don't know what's going on then. What is your facebook username and I'll look at your pictures there? You can PM me if you don't want to post it here. Where are you getting your wyandotte's from?

    What does your SLW rooster look like? Your hens look nice; how old are they?

    Rottiemom, Will you post some pictures of your SLW's please? Thanks.

    Rottiemom, are your SLW's hatchery or breeder stock? Are you willing to sell any of the ones you hatch out this spring? I would like to buy some. I live in Wiggins so I'm not too far from Picayune. What type of turkey's do you have? Kelly

    I was really hoping to get some from someone who breeds them so they don't look like all the other hatchery chickens I've bought. They all seem to have the same body shape even though they are different breeds. Someone told me that BR's are known for pecking each other and feather pulling. I may...
