    can someone list the symptoms of Coccidiosis?

    I have looked quite a bit and I cannot seem to find a list of the symptoms. If someone could list them that would be really helpful. Also, do symptoms change as the disease progresses? What are the early signs? Thank you in advance

    question about community nest box

    I have looked and couldn't find the answer to this exact question. I am building a community nest box that will be about 4' wide. I want to put one opening so that most of the box is nice and dark. What size should the opening be? I want to make it just big enough, but not too big so that...

    Do's and dont's for a "living room" coop? Building housing indoors?

    OK,I know this sounds means since she is clearly a pet, but when I look at that picture, I can't help but think....FOOD!!! But I guess it is not that mean as I googled featherless chicken and they were developed in Israel as a "succulent, low-fat poultry that is environmentally friendly"...

    Quote: Oh My Gosh!! That bird is so ugly it is cute!! Who knew there were featherless chickens? How do you keep it from pooping all over the place? And how do you keep the dog and cat from eating it?

    Am I neurotic???????

    Besides, it was clearly time to get those other socks out of your house because that one was hiding under the pj pants and it was only a matter of time before they all picked up the bad habit and you started finding them under the bed, under the couch, under the car, under the chicken coop...

    Am I neurotic???????

    Yeah, but don't worry about it...we all are in one way or another. Your neurotic behavior is just a little more specialized and you are willing to talk about it which makes you sane!!

    Help this newly hatched chicken owner out!!

    Quote: Yeah, I kinda figured that out pretty quick on my own when I started asking him some questions. BTW, though, he wasn't a kid, he was an older man. But I guessed right away that either he didn't know much about chickens OR he was just a little bit of an SOB that hated people like me...

    good food....

    I have to admit that I only recently discovered Indian food. We had some amazing food at a little restaurant in Joshua, CA about a year ago and now I can't quit thinking about it! I have even been learning to make it. It comes out pretty good, except for the naan. There must be some trick to...

    Help this newly hatched chicken owner out!!

    Oh, I love my little chickies. I don't really care what they are, I was just curious. The guy charged slightly more for the EE (25cents more a piece or something like that) He sort of had an attitude about any questions I asked. But my little girlies are part of the family now. They all...

    See my chicken ark!!!!

    Yes it is zip ties. I had him make sure that the ends were all on the outside of the cage because when you clip off the extra it can leave a sharp edge and I didn't want those on the inside where a chick might run into with an eye or something. One end is hinged as a door. We just are using...

    Help this newly hatched chicken owner out!!

    I got my chicks at a feed store and was told that the are buff orpingtons, rhode island reds and americauanas. But after snooping around on the forums here, I am realizing that what the guy said probably means very little. I am thinking that the striped ones are probably really Easter eggers...
