    Need help asap please

    I have already started the process of cleaning. Need to go get some Seven to dust the birds. Thanks for all your help. I have looked at several posts and so far all the info is good and seems to agree on how to clean the coop and birds. Again, thank you. Michelle

    Need help asap please

    I am very sad to tell you Lulu did not make it. I found out the hard way how quickly a chicken can go down. We also found out the hard way that she had mites or fleas. They looked a lot like fleas but were blond instead of brown. I had them crawling all over me and so did my son. Such an...

    I bought four pullets today at our feed store. What are they? I had already taken the pictures before I read the tips on good shots. I will take more once my camera is charged again. The people at the feed store did not know what breed they were. I am brand new to chickens and will have...
