    Howdy from the california foothills

    Quote: Yeah - Someone close by. I haven't been there. Would this be the one I see mentioned every now and then in the buy and sell? I haven't convinced hubby yet to take me. He isn't convinved that I won't come home with more kids. Is it just selling chickens? What all goes on down there?

    How do I add more vitamin A & K to diet?

    Out of my four girls I have one who has blood spots in her eggs. Not a few spots but many, like ten or more. I posted with questions about the cause and everyone seems to think she needs more vitamins. Cause being blood vessels rupturing in the ovary or oviduct as the yolk passes. I can't help...

    Need advice on turning a garage into a chicken coop!!!

    Quote: Yes you can train them to use the doggie door. We put our opening for the chickens up high and the trained them to go up and down on ramps on each side of the opening. Every other week we would lower the ramps about 8 inches so they would have to jump a little higher each time. After a...

    Howdy from the california foothills

    My husband and I decided to get chickens instead of paying the clark people about ten years ago. We got tired of the stink and how ucky we felt after they had been and sprayed. I have always had problem free chickies until now. We have four right now. Three were newly acquired a few months back...

    How do I add more vitamin A & K to diet?

    I believe I need to do this for one of my chickens. Right now she gets laying pellets with a little cracked corn thrown in and all the household scraps. She is also running free and wild on our acreage during the day. Since I have never had a problem chicken before this is puzzling for me. Our...

    What are the red "blood spots" on egg yolks?

    The bloody spots are the reason I found this site. I have four girls. Three are newly acquired girls, about a month and a half ago. We don't know how old they are. Each day we get two/three eggs, sometimes four. I don't even eat them I give them away, I just coldn't resist the furried creatures...
