    The Duck Thread

    We got them at TSC, in a bin marked "assorted". The first one is darker, not true yellow, and his/her beak isn't truly orange.

    The Duck Thread

    Well, I guess we are in the duck family now! These came from an "assorted" batch! Any ideas what they are?

    BROODER thread! Post pics of your brooders!

    A A good rule of thumb is 1sqft per chick. You can be a little smaller at first, but you will be amazed how quickly they want to stretch!

    BROODER thread! Post pics of your brooders!

    The chicks were too big for their dog pen brooder, so I adapted some cardboard boxes. We needed at least 10 square feet for our 10 chicks. Just had move in and so far things are going well!

    pasty butt question

    Ugh, we have one like this too! She is fat and sassy and stays dirty in the rear. We frequently just trim with scissors. Once we have chased down her cute little waddle and caught her, it takes one to hold and one to trim!

    Advice for eye problem.

    What about quarantine? Now that we are through with the Tylan, how long do I continue to keep her segregated? Thanks! Best and most clear advice I found on any of the threads!

    Advice for eye problem.

    I have been having the same problem and have decided to go ahead and use the Tylan on the infected and quarantined bird. I have a small flock of only four hens. Should I treat everyone? Also, the sick hen isn't laying yet but should be soon. How long should I not use the eggs?

    Worm in chicken poop!

    How can I deworming my chickens if I can't catch and hold them to treat? Is there any other way than orally with a syringe? And do all chickens need deworming? Mine are 17 weeks old.
