    ?Gape in my pullet

    I have a 3 month old pullet who always has her mouth open. We noticed her start this about 6 weeks ago. She rests with her beak open about 50% of the time and when she runs she always has her mouth open. I looked up videos of Chickens with Gape worm on the internet and they were all in...

    Strangest and Silliest Chicken Names?

    We have Ginger (Buff Orpington), MaryAnn (Black Austrailorp), and Mrs Howell (White Leghorn) if we had a Rooster I'd name him Skipper, but we are illegal in the Burbs so no Roosters for us!

He is a very...

    I am a Chicken newbie and at first I worried my Dogs would go after the girls, but that has not been a problem. 2 of my 3 dogs love to eat the poo, the fresher the better! YUCK!

    When do they need grit?

    Thanks Again for the info. I took the paper towel off tonight to change it and they all started scratching up a storm and flinging pine shavings on one another. It reminded me of kids in the first snow fall! They were hilarious! It took me 2 years to convince my Husband that Chickens were cool...

    When do they need grit?

    Thanks! I have the girls in a plastic swimming pool as the brooder. I have pine shavings covered with paper towel to prevent them from eating the shavings. Do you know how long I need to use the paper towel? Thanks Again for the chicken wisdom!

    When do they need grit?

    I got my new babies 2 days ago. Ginger (Buff Orpington), Maryanne (Australorpe), Mrs Howell (Legghorn) and Betty (Barred Rock). They are all doing great so far. When do you start adding grit to the feed, and how much do you add? Or is it in a separate dish? Thanks for the help! Im a first time Mom.
