    I got turned at an early age. I used to show goats at the livestock show and one year my grandfather fed me my own goat to prove a point. So now I don't even flinch when thinking about those kind of things. It will happen to most of our chickens eventually. They will go from egg layers to dinner.

    South Texas!

    That is a lot of chickens. We have about 17 if you include the two Olandsk dwarfs that hatched last week. Try to find them homes on here, there is a whole forum dedicated to buying, selling, and trading. Surely, someone in this area will take them. If not you might, however gruesome it sounds...

    They should start laying around 6 months of age so you only have about one month to go until you have fresh eggs. How many chickens do you have?

    Dog and Chicks

    I've only seen dogs get it from wild birds. As long as the dog is healthy it should be okay. If the dog gets sick then keep it away from the chickens.

    Looking for help changing ordinance

    I don't know anything about Lancaster, PA, but down here in Texas some cities require that you get a permit to have chickens or there are specific requirements of where the coop must be. Did they state why your in violation?

    Dog and Chicks

    It sounds like your dog is very loving and probably safe to keep the chicks around him. However, dogs can get coccidiosis from bird droppings from wild birds, so there is always the chance that the dog could transmit it to the chickens.

    Hi, welcome to South Texas. I too live in the Corpus Christi Area. As for dealing with the heat and humidity just keep hydrated and wear light colored clothing. How are your chickens dealing with the heat?

    Access to food and water

    I don't actually know when they make the switch, but my family typically lets chicks have 24/7 access until they are moved out into the coop.

    Comment by 'Olandskchick' in article 'Step by Step Guide to ASSISTED Hatching'

    Thanks so much for this article. My family was really worried about a chick that was struggling to hatch. We waited and waited and waited some more. Thanks to your article we knew when to intervene and did so successfully. We didn't have to assist as much as we thought so now the chick is acting...
