    And that's all safe for my goats especially the pregnant one?

    Welsummers down...

    That makes sense. What vitamins can I use that wouldn't be harmful to my goats? I clean my waters out daily because even though my goats have their own water they choose to use the chickens and I live in Arizona and my chickens stand in their water to cool off and disgustingly poop in it.

    what would the signs of mites or lice be? she would walk but was just super lethargic and lazy... so it was more of a walk a bit and lay down.. she was definitely separating herself from the rest of my girls... and she didn't attempt to run from me.... she just let me pick her right up... i...

    Welsummers down...

    I bought two welsummer chicks amongst my collection of day old chicks 3 years ago, and within the last 6 months, they have both died from the same signs and symptoms... coincidence or what..? they were fairly young? They both went a little paralyzed almost, just didn't care to move, super...

    tom or hen?

    my turkeys do the same with the ones they are in the coup with... I think they go to the other coop protecting the chickens, and when there's a hawk they always try to keep the chickens safe by fluttering around...

    tom or hen?

    UPDATE... I think all who said breeding pair are correct... This morning I caught the darker one trying to fight my chickens who are in the other coop... UH OH.. I saw his aggressive side. I call the second coop my rehab coop cause most of the birds in there got a little beat up... WIll I be...

    tom or hen?

    UPDATE!!! I GOT MY FIRST EGG!!!! At least I think it's a turkey egg.. it's the right colors but she lives with all my other hens... and it's not very big but when all my chickens laid it was relatively small to begin with!!! :)

    tom or hen?

    yeah, i really have no clue!! I guess only time will tell... The one I would say is a tom is the one you all have guessed, the darker one... he behaves differently, such as he puffs up from time to time and kinda hops around like hes on the prowl or something... but I have yet to hear him make...

    tom or hen?

    I will have to look closer and maybe take more pictures in the morning!! Sometimes they play and jump around together, almost like they're trying to fight but never actually get aggressive.. They're definitely inseparable, but I have had them now for well over 3 months, and there just doesn't...

    tom or hen?

    so, one is still bigger and bolder looking and looks like it may start getting gobblers... BUT.... they still don't make the noise a tom should make... could I have two hens?!?!

    Roo died out of no where...HELP!

    I didn't know that..I grew up with hens but never had a rooster because my neighbors wouldn't allow it... But I never lost one... so it was completely shocking to walk out there and see him so lifeless. Poor guy he was so beautiful... he's the one in my icon. But thanks for your input... should...

    Roo died out of no where...HELP!

    Around 4 PM today I took a nap and when I walked out at 6 my rooster was completely pale in the comb and cold dead... I had moved him earlier this morning into the coop where I house my "rehab" hens, those whom don't get along with everybody becuase they're not aggressive enough to stand their...
