    So Excited! Picking Up 2 New Does Saturday!

    Quote: Glad to know you are there. We have two wethers and are thinking about getting a doe later on. I will keep you in mind, we are in Berkeley Springs, not too far. The breeder that we got them from warned us they would become addicting. She is right!

    I was told that the white near his ear was favus and was treatable with an anti-fungal. He was a "junkyard" roo that was brought to live at a better place.

    This is our Roo Banjo. He is beautiful and unfortunately we had to give him back due to an allergy. We hope to get the allergy thing resolved and wanted to get the same breed but we don't know what to look for. The guy who gave him to us originally said he had some game bird in him. I really...

    Urgent Reminder-PLEASE Quarantine Newly Acquired Birds!

    Quote: We are new to raising chickens and just got three hens and a rooster from someone who had too many. He did tell us when he gave them to us that they had a little fungus infection that could be treated. Since these are the first chickens we got, we did not have to worry about them...
