    What is Your DREAM Flock? (And What's Realistic?)

    I love my mixed flock and colorful eggs, but I've dreamt of a flock of beautiful Swedish Flower chickens free ranging in the yard.

    Cutting the feed cost of chickens

    I started moistening chick starter with kefir or yogurt to help a chick with scissor beak eat easier. I noticed that the chicks did not scratch out and waste the moistened feed, so now I use it for all the chicks. I also mix boiled eggs into their feed, when I have an abundance of eggs to use.

    Baby chick in need of help !!

    I have read that sometimes putting the chick in a glass, and putting the glass in the brooder with the other chicks could help by causing the chick to jump up and straighten and strengthen the legs. It is worth a try. It doesn't sound like splayed leg, but you may look that up to see. There is...

    Poult won't open it's eyes

    Help Chicken Got Attacked!

    Beauty was attacked badly by a pack of dogs two years ago. I didn't think she would make it since she had a severe wound on her back and some internal damage. I kept her inside in a dog crate. I cleaned her wounds everyday with 1/2 strength hydrogen peroxide, rinsed well, then applied...

    Topic of the Week - Saving Money, Feeding Chickens

    I collect 5# buckets of vegetable scraps from my son's restaurant to give to the chickens. I clean the buckets and exchange for full buckets several times a week. They also free range daily, have access to feed in the coop, and are given fermented scratch twice a day.

    How to keep snakes away?

    No, it does not bother the dogs or chickens. I sprinkle some in the chicken dusting areas and the dogs will lay in it to sunbathe. You can put the dust around the perimeter of your yard.

    How to keep snakes away?

    I bought this sulfur powder at the feed store. It is supposed to repel snakes, however I bought it to keep chiggers out of the yard so I can't vouch for the effectiveness as a snake repellent. I live in the woods in Florida between two swamps. Other than a resident black snake that steals an egg...
