    Chicken Breed Focus - Sultan

    This is our sultan named, Sultan. She was the only one of the sultan breed we have ever had but she was so sweet and one of our favorite chickens. We even took her to the vet when she got sick. When the other chickens were laying she would go sit next to them like a little nurse. She lived for...

    Laying problems or sick hen?

    Wish I could help you but I've never experienced this with our chickens. We did have a buff orpington who had a really difficult time when laying her first egg. My husband brought a chair down to the coop area and she sat/squirmed on his lap for the entire day until late in the afternoon she...

    Help me im new!

    I looked at the Los Angeles Craigslist and saw many listings for people selling chickens. I went under the Farm and Garden heading and typed Chickens in the search box. Maybe your parents would be willing to go out of their way to help you check out or pick up the chickens? I'm not sure how...

    wife and adult stepson

    I agree with SillyChicken. On the other hand, I can relate to your wife and the way she is with her son (my son just turned twenty-three). I was a single parent for many years just barely scraping by. Once I was financially stable I felt like I had something to make up for and felt really...

    Production Reds

    We have a one red production hen in our cluck of seven girls. The reds behavior is so different from our heritage breeds. She is extremely hyper with no regard for the pecking order so really frustrates the other hens. On the other hand, she is definitely an egg-laying machine! She eats so...

    Question about lice and mites

    So sorry you lost your birds! I know how hard that is! I think these terrier owners finally got the message. Animal Control was a huge help and finally the owners are willing to pay for all of the vet and medical bills. Animal control also told them that we were going to shoot their dogs...

    Question about lice and mites

    We usually do use DE in the chicken area and will definitely add more as we are doing this treatment. We have gotten much more rain than usual this year so the chicken area is really mucky. We had been letting them free range to avoid the mud but then these neighborhood Jack Russel terriers...

    Question about lice and mites

    It looks like our poor cluck of chickens has lice and mites. We have had two dog attacks in the last month so we have two chickens inside with us. This is how I discovered the pests. I was able to use Virgin Coconut oil to kill the bugs on these girls but I don't know if it would be possible...

    Advice for helping a Wyandotte after attack by a Russell terrier? (*warning*: somewhat graphic photo

    Thanks for all of the good advice. I went and got some Blue Kote (spelling?) at the feed store and applied it to her wound tonight. We also force fed her some food and water. I hope she makes it...she is one of our sweetest chickens. It was pretty amazing that we had four neighbors respond...
