    Indoor Serama chicken setup?

    I have a serama flock over-wintering in my garage. They are set up in a run that is 8x8 and the bottom is tarp with pine shavings and coffee grounds for substrate. There are 9 birds in there and all I smell is coffee so far. It's been about a month.

    2 Serama Roosters in Kansas City, Missouri

    I've got a couple young serama cockerels needing a new flock in Kansas City. Free to a good home. Seramas are not cold hardy below 40 degrees and will need to be kept out of the cold over winter. I have them set up in my garage in a flock but I've got too many roosters for my 6 hens. These guys...

    9 week old Erminette Chicken sexing

    I ended up selling them back to the breeder because she lost her stock and wanted to replace them. The one with red spots was huge! Big as my brahma. They were not super friendly, but they were good egg layers and got along with the other birds. They also constantly got into trouble. They were...

    Cuckoo marans or barred rock?

    I was sold this pullet as a barred rock, but she has white legs with black on them, and she seems small for a barred rock. She's 5 months old. What do you think? Rock, marans or something else?

    9 week old Erminette Chicken sexing

    I have 2 9-week-old Erminettes (the breed, not just the color) that I'm not sure on the sex. I've never had these guys before, and the breeder just got them as well and isn't sure about sexing. She had a medical issue and sent her chicks that are the same age as mine away to a friend's farm to...

    Four colors of Starlight Green Eggers

    Here's what the dark starlight green egger looks like now. She's seen here with her black jersey giant buddy. I don't know what the light one ended up looking like. I haven't seen her since I gave her to my friend. No eggs yet but getting close! I'm actually about to sell these guys because they...

    Jersey Giant lovers

    I've got one hatchery black jersey giant pullet and what I love about her is that when I pick her up, she talks to me in a Marge Simpson voice and is so expressive. She's somewhat flighty, her and her BFF (a starlight green egger) are the least friendly of my flock, but both of them have...

    Lost a hen, another is acting off. Treated for cocci, but dead hen had liver damage. Help!

    They were on purina layer feed until about 3 weeks ago when I switched them to all flock because my turkeys moved in. In the winter they got a little scratch every day but not in the summer. They have occasionally gotten black soldier fly larva and wild bird seed for treats, but they free range...

    Lost a hen, another is acting off. Treated for cocci, but dead hen had liver damage. Help!

    I lost 1 hen about 6 weeks ago and decided to treat everyone with Corid and ivermectin, though I do not know whare her cause of death was. Lost a second hen 2 days ago. She had been pale on and off but was still laying any active the day she died. I opened her up (took pictures) and found that...

    Can I treat coccidiosis with toltrazuril and amprolium at the same time?

    I'm in the middle of treating some 6 week old chicks with amprolium and ordered toltrazuril which came today. I've read that the toltrazuril is more effective, but we are on day 4 of corid. Is it ok to give the toltrazuril at the same time or do I need to finish corid first? I had initially...

    What color did you paint your coop?

    I went with the barn and fence paint because it's cheaper and animal-safe. I used the white on the inside. I like the classic barn look.

    Green and yellow watery poop? Pale comb

    Her crop feels empty. I think she's lost some weight, too. I went ahead and gave ivermectin to everyone and put corid on the water. Her comb looks extra pale today. We brought out black soldier fly larva to get her to eat. We are gonna take her into the garage out of the heat and see how she does.
