    Pullet lethargic

    Sorry about your girl. It kind of sounds like your girl has symptoms of Merecks disease to me. Was she vaccinated for that?

    Pullet lethargic

    She hasn't been panting at all. She has been drinking water this afternoon but is not eating much. Right now she is laying in the bedding on the bottom of the cage.

    Pullet lethargic

    I have a 14 week old Cuckoo Maran that was doing great until 3 days ago and since then she just stands or sits in the shade with her eyes closed. I put electrolytes in the water since it has been over a 100 degrees here for the last 2 weeks and have been turning on the mister in the run...

    Questons: Do you still have pullets for sale (Russian Orloffs)? If you do, what is the cost for them? Where are you located if I want to buy them? Thank you.

    High Desert, California!!

    I live in Pinon Hills (close to Phelan). I currently have 7 hens and would really, really like to add another 3 or 4 to my flock. I also don't want to deal with raising chicks (cute as they are). I am specifically looking for Dominiques, silver laced Wyandotte, Columbian Wyandotte or Olive...

    Growing fodder for chickens

    I bought wheat and oat sides in 1 lb packages online to try my hand at growing fodder for my "girls" and it turned out great. Unfortunately, I cannot find a place locally that sells seeds in bulk so I can do it on a continuing basis. I live in the high desert of So. California. Anyone out...

    4 x 4 Goat Fence for run

    Check Walmart online. I bought a roll of 24"wide, 1/2" hardware cloth a few months ago and they delivered it to the local store where I picked it up. It was WAY cheaper than Home Depot. 50 foot roll for @ 55.00.

    Stop Snow for getting in

    If your run is covered on the top but snow is getting in on the sides, go to Walmart or somewhere like that and buy the vinyl clear shower curtains and attach them to the run to keep the snow out. You can take them down in the Spring. They are pretty inexpensive and will keep the snow out and...

    Show Me Your Feeders!!

    There is a thread on BYC that you can look up "DIY Feeder Pipe" (I think). It has youtube videos of how to make the feeder. I made one and it works great, and is cheap to make.

    California-Southern

    Try Chickens Galore in Norco. They have a really large selection of chickens. I have bought from them before and their birds are very healthy. They advertise on Craigslist all the time. Check them out.
