    Single chick

    Congrats... You now have a pet chicken! I had the same misfortune recently and ended up with a house chicken till one day he up and decided he was a rooster. I kept his cage where he could see me after the first week of endless distress peeping and trying to follow me when I would leave the...

    Hybrid Issue

    Now I've been reading about pheasants and have discovered quite a bit of negativity regarding hybridization. I have some questions that didn't quite get covered in the old thread I read that was from a few years ago. Feel free to answer as many or as few as you like. Presuming that the...

    Am I in for a disappointment?

    I just hatched marans and on the 23 day after checking obsessively once every hour (or more ;) I started to toss out the eggs as they had quite noticeably gone off. I noticed one had what might have been a half hearted pip (barely even a crack in the shell) but no movement or peeping. I put it...

    Discussion on Sponored Content

    While I was able to tell very quickly it was an ad, I think the problem is that it was a featured article on the front page. Just loading the page and casually clicking on the article you may not realize what section its in. A small header across the photo to indicate it's sponsored would be...

    Poultry and Dogs - Who Has Happy Pictures and Stories?

    I don't have a pic, but my 6 month old boxer/gsd mix decided that it was his job to guard the chicks from our evil kitties when they were inside. Once I accidentally left the door to the room they stayed in. I heard...Growl, bark, grrrrowwl...and ran in there imagining the worst. There he was...

    Vetch - safe or not

    I think there are several species of vetch, and that might have something to do with the confusion. I do know that some types can poision a horse if eaten in large amounts. As for chickens... I don't know. I would find out what kind exactly you have... and try it in small portions if you do.

    Impacted crop? Second (or more) Opinions

    Thanks. I'll keep an eye over them over the next few days, hopefully I'll catch anything else before it's too late. The are all happy and scratching away in the grass this afternoon though. I've been removing their feed at night(cornish x piggies would eat themselves dead otherwise), so it...

    RISQUE` ARTWORK ON LIPTON BRISK TEA

    EweSheep... I'm so very sorry ;) I spent a few years as a GD major before my head exploded. I love the art side, hate the... I guess the best word is psychology? Having conversations about which typeface or color set would be more appealing... Meh. I can see that label being seen as...

    RISQUE` ARTWORK ON LIPTON BRISK TEA

    Like I Was trying to say in my edit I don't have a problem with it after seeing the other labels. None of the others even include representations of people as far as I can see. I think they chose artwork in a particular style, more than for its suggestive value. It is what I assumed at first...

    RISQUE` ARTWORK ON LIPTON BRISK TEA

    This is just a guess, but I bet they will change the artwork soon any way. It seems to be the type of thing maybe having different artists work featured. Haven't looked into it but it's a fairly unique style and normal product packaging tends to attempt to be generic and eye catching at the...

    Banding/marking breeds or sex?

    Oh thats good to know. Did they say how they would mark them and if there is an extra charge? I'm curious... In case I find myself needing more chickens. I've been quite happy with this batch. Of course I've been thinking about hatching eggs, or poultry shows, or.... Well it's chicken...

    Impacted crop? Second (or more) Opinions

    Well, I just checked the rest over and they seem healthy. One seems to be lagging behind a bit in growth, not as solid as the rest but not particularly thin either. Put a temporary zip tie leg band on him so I can keep a closer eye on that one over the next week. Gonna check crops in the...

    Impacted crop? Second (or more) Opinions

    I lost my first chick today. I went to fill the meaties feeder and noticed one didn't run to the food like the other little piggies. He was extremely weak. So I took him inside and tried to get him warm and some sugar water to get him going a bit, but he passed in my arms. I flipped the little...

    Banding/marking breeds or sex?

    My order wasn't marked and I'm under the impression that they generally aren't. However I will say I could tell the different breeds apart at once by color and size other than the free mystery chick which i'm fairly sure is a Dark Cornish boy. Many of their breed pages have pics of the chicks...

    Do people in southern states like pizza?

    See to me, New Orleans is a distilled version of the South, or at least my experience of the south. Miami is an example of "not part of the south" But then again I grew up in Biloxi, about 2 hours from Nola taking your time, so we spent many weekends there. It's a horrible, dirty, dangerous...
