    Diary of a Crossbeak: Support for Special Needs Chickens and their Keepers

    I actually use eggs in my mash, they love it. I'll have to try some of the other things. Crooky is doing good and growing nicely. I asked the feedstore if they had vitamins for chickens and they looked at me like I was crazy, lol. I haven't bought the infant ones yet but she seems to be doing...

    Turkens - hens or roosters?

    Oh wow, I see what you mean. He is a cutie =) I hope to get some more Turkens next year, so now I'll know they get big combs young. Ours were from a hen run this time, I just wasn't sure since I've never seen them before. Thank you all

    help in picking out a new dog

    So sorry about your loss. I hope you find another good dog soon enough to help you with the chickens. I don't think breed matters, what matters is the dogs personality/prey drive. We own an Australian Shepherd and my sister owns her sister. Our dog is great with the chickens, she doesn't care...

    Catnip?

    Turkens - hens or roosters?

    I will catch it and see, the chickens are fairly easy to catch. I know for sure some of our chicks are roosters, as they are crowing, so I'll have my sister help me get a roo and that Turken and compare feathers. =) We are already keeping 3 roo's from our hen runs, and this one will be staying...

    Naked Neck/Turken Thread

    Thank you all so much. I figured the two were hens but that one used to be mean and has a bigger comb than the others so just assumed, lol.
