    Herb infused ACV by kiddo

    LOL, Giddymoon! I suppose it'll be a good selling point when we're done and want to sell them, huh?! Thank you, WoodlandWoman. I'll try it out and monitor they're intake and BMs. One site listed it as a possible GI irritant, so I don't want to upset their little systems! I was hoping to see...

    Herb infused ACV by kiddo

    Okay, so I accidentally left a bottle of ACV outside after filling my chickens' waterer. My son so graciously thought it would be a good idea to pack the bottle with fresh-picked rosemary. I discovered it within a few hours, and strained the rosemary out, but it still has quite a strong smell...

    RIR laying very soft, watery eggs

    Well, now, that just made my night! Thank you so much. So far, these birds have been my most favorite pets, ever. I'll get to work on them right away so we can get back to the egg laying business. We are some egg-eating fools in this household!

    RIR laying very soft, watery eggs

    Wow, if it's infectious bronchitis, we're hopeless! I think I'll try the isolating of a few girls for observation. I've read a few sites so far about this disease, and so far, I haven't found any treatment options. I certainly don't want to lose all these girls. My kiddos will be...

    RIR laying very soft, watery eggs

    Thanks for all of the links, folks! CMV, that was very informative. CD, your post was the one I found from a couple of years ago about Egg Drop Syndrome. I'm going to do some research on that. I'm really hoping it's just age, but one of those RIRs is only a year old! For now, I think...

    RIR laying very soft, watery eggs

    Thank you, Sharon. I usually put used egg shells in my compost pile, which ultimately gets decimated by the hens. Just last week, I took the oyster shell and sprinkled it in the feeder, on the floor of the coop, and all over the ground outside. That way they have an abundance of it, in and...

    RIR laying very soft, watery eggs

    Good evening! I have 3 RIR girls and 3 EE girls. 2 of the RIRs are 2 years old, and all the others are a year old. All of the eggs I'm getting from the EE girls have good, hard shells, and the yolk and white look very healthy. The RIR eggs, on the other hand, are terribly soft (you have to...

    Chickens Wanted- Georgia

    I'm not sure where Forsyth Co. is, but I'm in Paulding Co., and I have 3 little bantam roos for free. They are all pretty sweet to humans. They tend to rear up on each other, but all get along in the coop for the most part. I would love to find a good home for them. My only request is that...

    3 bantam roos free to good home - Dallas, GA

    I may be willing to meet someone within 30 minutes from Dallas, GA to get rid of these guys. Only requirement is that they don't go into cock fighting. They are all too sweet for that! --Becky

    Need help confirming roos

    Thank you guys. I was really hoping that just maybe, one would be a girl. Oh well, the Cornish (aka Roadrunner) has to go anyhow, he's toooo noisy!

    Need help confirming roos

    Here are two of my bantams, that I am really hoping may be girls. They are both approx. 12 weeks old. The first looks like a boy, but it is so quiet. Are there roosters that do not make any noise? It is a little aggressive with one that I know is a rooster. I'm just thrown off that it...

    3 bantam roos free to good home - Dallas, GA

    I have 3 bantam roosters, about 12 weeks old, that I need to either give away, sell for a simple couple bucks, or trade for girls. I'll take whatever offers come my way! They have all been in good health. They come from a small flock of 7 birds total since I've received them as a gift from a...

    Need help IDing 3 bantams, please.

    Thanks for the quick response! I guess I should mention that they are 8-10 weeks old, I think. I am so glad I found this site. Lots of great pics!

    Need help IDing 3 bantams, please.

    I have 3 bantams I'd like to see if someone can ID for me. I am starting to think the white one is a boy, but the others should be girls. Also, if you know what they are, are they good layers? We really only want layers, even if they're little ones! Thanks!
