    Right now we can not have chickens. What I need is anyone around the Stonington area that your town or village allows chickens please let me know. I am trying to compile a list of the area that allows backyard chickens to take before the village board. Thanks for any help

    DIATOMACEOUS not working on lice

    I have found that DE works as a preventitive but when you have an infestation it takes to long to work well. Then I use seven dust.

    Free Roosters Decatur, IL

    I have 3 very beautiful and amorous roosters that need new homes. They are driving my girls crazy. 2 are Americauna/Silver Laced Wyandotte mixes and the other is a Polish/Silkie mix. They were hatched in October. If you are looking for boys with long blonde hair these are the boys for you.

    Hi; I'm Tai from Illinois

    Hope you can get the ordinance changed. I am from Decatur and we are allowed chickens, water fowl and turkeys but not goats. I would love to change that. Good luck.

    Help with polish sex

    Polish are really hard to tell at a young age. Right now I agree with the others that the white is pullet and the black is cockrel but they can fool you. By 4 months you will know. The pullets crest will be very round and full and the cockrels will look like Einstein.

I would treat all because usually if one has it the others will. I have never heard of an antibotic for treating cocci. I have had chicks with cocci and...

    Looks to me like you have a couple of boys. The first picture the red in the front and the white in the front. They were already getting bigger combs then the others. But if the white is Leghorn the females get really hugh combs too. If you post another pic at this age I would be able to tell...
