    Australorps breed Thread

    I just adopted an approximately 11 wk old australorp pullet yesterday. I have 4 hens that are 1 yr old. 2 RIR, 1 SLW, and 1 EE. Last week I got 2 little EE pullets at the local poultry swap. They were 8 wk old. We had a massive windstorm with 70mph gusts and it damaged my coop. One of the...

    I am in ABQ and looking for some pullets. I'd love to have some Silkie pullets/young hens, but I think that is impossible to find without getting straight run chicks. Looking for 2-4 new pullets to add to the 4 hens I have. Open to breeds- except RIR ( I already have 2). Willing to travel for...

    cutest chicken names!

    We have two RIR- Ruby and Rosie (really original). Ruby is my little girlfriend. She follows me everywhere. They are about 9 months old now. I got them from the same lady at the poultry swap, so I think they are sisters. However they look just different enough that I can easily tell them...

    I used to be terrified of birds. Now 2 of my hens sit in my lap on the patio. I've come a long way. I love my birds!

    New Mexico

    I'm in ABQ and have 4 hens now (2 RIR, 1 EE, 1 SLW) and would like some bantams for the spring. Something a little different than I have. Silkies or something similar to that. A little more showy than my big girls. I'm not too picky. My 4 hens are 4 of the sweetest girls. I will be looking...

    Reglan (Metoclopramide) Egg withdrawal time?

    That's my question too. The vet said that there was but can't ever seem to remember to look it up for me. I had to take the chicken to a different vet than I do for the dogs. She didn't really help me or the bird very much.

    Reglan (Metoclopramide) Egg withdrawal time?

    Hi. I had a hen on Reglan for a bit. She's doing fine. But I am having problems finding the egg withdrawal time from it. My vet has not been very helpful. Thanks for your help.

    Pendulous crop

    I have a hen that has a pendulous crop. I have done the vomit thing, taken her to the vet, withheld food and kept her isolated. Nothing has made a bit of difference. She acts totally fine. Laying eggs like a champ. I bought her a crop bra last week. I hope to have it here next week. She's...

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    It finally happened!! My SL Wyandotte laid her first egg today!! She's 23 weeks old. It's tiny but perfect. I found her in the nest box this morning. She's been squatting almost a week. However, I found the egg in the run. Ok now my other 3 need to follow after her. Here's the pic. I have...

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    I'm so jealous of these egg layers. Still waiting at 21 and 23 weeks... I have one squatter and that's it. Her comb and one of my RIR are big and red.

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    I won't be able to contain myself when any of them lay. I'll be sure to make an announcement
