    Question Re MG (myco)

    Thanks! They appear healthy so far. A little slack on egg laying, but I’m putting that down to them being 3-4+ yrs, and in a new environment. Other than that they’re acting totally normal. Two of the hens I’m thinking are even older than the others, because their faces look pretty wrinkly and...

    Question Re MG (myco)

    Thank you! I’ve looked into building another coop, but we just can’t afford to, and don’t have the time. After my old flock was pts, we did install a new drainage pipe, which helped it quite a bit. The water only stood for 1 week instead of 3. When it would flood in the past, I put a lot of high...

    Question Re MG (myco)

    Hi! So 2 1/2 years ago my birds were put down due to mycoplasma gallisepticum. They were my pets, I couldn’t bring myself to go into the coop and clean it, knowing that it was my fault they got sick (my numbers got way out of control-NEVER happening again). So my predicament is this... my dad...

    Homemade incubators

    My family can't afford to buy an incubator, and my grandpa's incubator was returned to him by who he had loaned it to with some pieces missing. So I was hoping to see some of all of your homemade incubators, and the plans to build it? Right now, to hatch eggs, I'm taking a risk to hope that I'll...

    YIIIPPEEEE!!!!!

    We are moving! It's a farm about 5-7 mins away from where we are right now. It has a coop already built there, a yard light that shines on the coop and reaches the barn (I have horses to), I get a bigger room, and more space for the chooks... *takes a breath* So I can raise more babies next...

    Infection?

    Also, forgot this part in the post, the other reason I brought him home tonight. I have noticed over the years, that when a chicken is sick or cold, they'll bundle up in this one corner of the coop to, basically, die. Sorry to be blunt, but that is what he was doing, that's the only reason my...

    Infection?

    My bantam roo has frostbite, and I'm pretty sure that he also has a small infection from it. I have brought him home with me from my grandparents farm (without dad's knowledge) :/ in hopes of making him feel better, I didn't have the time tonight to rig something up in the coop for him, that's...

    Guineas and chickens??

    Someone in my area is selling guinea roosters that were born earlier this year. Is 20 dollars a fair price or not? Also, if I only bought one, is that alright? I have chickens obviously, lol, and I was just wondering if it would try to harm my hens or roosters?

    Preparing Your Flock & Coop for WINTER

    I have a coop, it's been poorly built I kinda think. But it's also very old. It has cracks in the boards, half the insulation is gone, and there are also small holes in the floor. I have straw as bedding, but by the door, it always Gets wet. I have small bantams this year, and not as many...

    Bantam chicks?

    Thanks. Ziva is growing to be a dark blue and a light tan. But where her colours meet, they almost blend together. Runty is still the runt, even though she doesn't look it. She's just completely plumage, so she looks bigger.

    Bantam chicks?

    Well, I put some empty burlap sacks in the coop to help keep it warmer, and I didn't realize a few days later that they were pecking it. I had one of my gut feelings while I was putting our horses out to the field that I should go check the coop. I didn't listen. :( Selene hung herself on a...

    Roos and hens?

    :( we had three chickens pass away. One was a leghorn, the other was a chick, they both died from the cold, but the other one was one of my favorite bantys. :( I put burlap sacks on a kennel in the coop to insulate it for the chicks. I didn't notice they were pecking it until it was to late...
