I cant tell if they are pointy, she runs when I try and catch her so I have to wait till my son gets home so he can help me get her she is fast...

No are they visable or will I need a magnafiglass to see them. If its them can I just dust her with flea/tick powder

Hello everyone, I have something strange happening with one of my hens. She is two years old (not sure if age makes a difference) but I notice that her tail feathers have all come out and I noticed that her wing and butt feathers are thin and this morning I noticed what looked like grey stuff...

I have a problem, my BR started sitting on all the eggs from the other hens about two days ago. She will sit all day on the eggs someone told me she wants to be a mommie...Should I let her be a mommie (which means I will need a Roo) or can I brake her from doing this with out her getting...

Quote: From what I remember only military and scouts (boys/girls) are suppose to be the ones to retire a flag. I would suggest finging a local Boy/Girl Scout troop they will love to hold a ceremony to dispose of the flag

I totally agree with you. I am a Girl/Boy Scout Leader and one day I had my son with me, we came across someone flying a flag that looked about 100 years it was torn and faded. My son went to the person in charge and explained he was a Boy Scout and that he would gladly take the flag and retire...

That make me feel better, she is a big girl almost as big as my RIR I guess she needs a little more time to get them large. I do have to say they are so small there cute

Hello I was curious if Barred Rocks lay small eggs. I have for RIR and ley all lay large to extra large eggs and my BR just started laying a couple of days a go and her eggs are small, is this normal or will her eggs get bigger as she grows?

Try looking for a pet store that deals in only birds. I baught my RIR at a pet store but all the guy sold was birds and more birds and chickens was one of them. I would also contact the local humane department and ask them because zoning may say one thing but if the humane deaprtment say another...

I know your right I just got attached to the girls and now one is gone, I just hope whatever it was dosnt affect the other girls.

I am sad, I went to check on my nfour little chickies and one of them was dead. There is no way anything could get into the cage they are in or even get a claw in. I was wondering, could they have a heart attack if something scared them. My dd heard a noise and the girls swaking but she did not...

I hope to have their pics uploaded soon. They are the cuties little girls barely 2 weeks old and so cute and friendly.

I|Hi everyone, well I went and did it, I added to my flock I currently have four RIR about 9months old now and my babies. I just picked up Two Barred Rock, One Black Sex Link and one Austrilop (I not sure if thats how you spell it) and I would like input, did I choose well, the guy I got them...

I just bought one , she is 2 weeks now and so adorable. I was wondering how are they at egg laying? The chicken farm I got her from said they lay as much as my RR and that they would get along great with my RR.

WOW, that is great, you really did a wonderful job...would you like to come to California and build mine ..anyway great job.
