    Hi Everyone! My family & I just love our chickens! About 2 years ago, my husband said "Let's get some chickens!" I thought he was nuts & he'd forget about it in a few days! Well, next thing I know, we are building a coop & searching for chicks! We bought 9 banties to put in our newly built coop...

    Dirty Chick Homemade Goat's Milk Soaps - 13 Fragrances

    Hi! I purchased 2 bars of your wonderful soap through Ebay & I just have to say I love them! My skin is so much softer after using the mint one for about 2 weeks. Before using your soap, I was using Dove bodywash & my skin was never this soft! I am interested in purchasing 12 more bars from...

    I have to destroy my entire flock. I need a very humane way

    I am so sorry you are going through this! I cannot even imagine.... My chickens are my babies & I do not think I could handle it if something like this were to happen to them. But, then again, I would not want them to suffer or to cause any new ones to get sick. I just wanted to express my...

    My 2 to 3 month old chick will no longer walk on one leg :( PLEASE HLP

    I don't know if it is a good idea to not feed her for 24 hours or not. I would try an intense vitamin B therapy. I had 2 chickens exactly like yours & I treated them with crushed vit. B for about a week & they are both fine now! I kept them isolated & propped up with towels and added vit. B to...

    Leg paralysis in hen-sudden onset

    Hi everyone! To all of you that are still have problems with your chickens, it sounds like a Vitamin B deficiency to me. I have had the same problem with 2 of my Welsummers & I gave them lots of crushed vit. B in their food & water for about a week or so & they are both perfectly fine now! There...

    hen cant stand? paralyzed??

    Hi! How is she doing today? Just wondering. It is good that she drank the water w/ vit. B & you have her propped up. I think that will help a lot. I hope she is improving!

    hen cant stand? paralyzed??

    Hi! It sounds like a Vitamin B deficiency. I have had a hen & a rooster do the same thing & after a week or so of intense vitamin B treatment, they got better. Just add some Vitamin B to her food & water. Also, you should seperate her from your other chickens so that you can be sure she is...

    I've created a chicken EMPIRE!!

    Gosh, I wish I had friends, neighbors or even family that loved my chickens! Everyone that knows that I have chickens thinks I am nuts. They ask "Why?" alot! We were even discussing this with my mother (who lives with us) last night at dinner. She just doesn't get it! But, she sure wasn't...

    Pics of Poop Boards?

    Hi! If you search "poop board" "poop tray" or "droppings board" you will find lots of great pics & ideas! Looks like any kind of board covered with vinyl tile or plastic placed under the roost will work. I don't have one in my coop, but it looks like that will be placed on my "honey do list"!!!

    whats wrong with my hen? *video* unbalanced...NEW VIDEO~post#385

    When my hen, Paula, had this problem I found something that seemed to encourage her to eat. Once she was able to hold her head & neck up, I took her outside & held her with her feet on the ground. I sprinkled a little chick starter & scratch on the ground & she went to town pecking away (I held...
