    Please help...Came home from work and found 2 newly hatched chicks dead

    Thank you. None of the others have cracks in them, I've left them under her will keep an eye on her. If they are all different breeds then isn't there a chance they will hatch at different times?

    Please help...Came home from work and found 2 newly hatched chicks dead

    What's YOUR chickens' favorite treat?

    Cooked shrimp heads and shells. My girls are spoilt, they. Look at me like I'm crazy if I don't run them in the food ninga first. But oh my they about lick the plate! I keep the heads frozen and chop them up as I need them.

    PLEASE help, my chick just ate a hair tie.

    Marie, I wish I would have read your post 5 minutes earlier. My girls favorite treat is raw rolled oasts mixed with plain yogurt. They demolish it almost before I get to take a picture! They look so funny with the yogurt sticking to their beaks..but they wipe off the extra in the grass then eat...

    PLEASE help, my chick just ate a hair tie.

    I got 2 new babies a couple of weeks ago. It is so hot I just put them in their own area and they have done great, It is one of the prefab chicken areas that I bought and decided it way way to small, before I built my own larger area for the girls.No need for heat source, only a box fan when we...

    More like spoilt chickens. Today they got cold grapes, watermelon, and a few cold blueberries. Though it wasn't as hot as yesterday. Lovely evening here in Florida.

    What a cutie! I would say she is out of the woods! Marie chickens are like kids for me. Yesterday the heat index was110 here in northest florida. I sat out side, put a box fan out to increase air flow, put ice in their water every 4 hours and worried.. but not enough to let it ruin my day. But...

    Anyone ever moved cross country and tried to start up a veggie garden

    My neighbor is so sweet and in her 70's. She taught me about the baby grass hoppers that if you don't stomp on them when they are small will eat everything in sight when they are 3 inches big! And her garden is raised, covered with rolls of mulch to keep the water in and always has tons of...

I have been trying to figure out what they could be. On one thread it said to look at the bottom of the black onesfeet to see if...

    Anyone ever moved cross country and tried to start up a veggie garden

    I moved from the southern beach area in North Carolina to Florida. I origionally moved from Ohio and spent 10 years in North Carolina before moving here to Florida. Guardening is TOTALLY different just moving 7 hours south. I agree with donrae. And ask them if there is a local garden club. We...

    PLEASE help, my chick just ate a hair tie.

    So glad! You remind me of my daughter. She leaves her hair ties all over. After your post I checked all around the pool out back..sure enough I found 2! My hens free range with supervision when I'm in the back yard. I made sure I didn't have anyhair ties where they could find them. I was hopeful...
