    OMG HELP! Bourbon Red Tom cannot walk

    I have NOT tubed any animal before. This is only our second year with chickens and turkeys. I originally put him in the bathroom on towels with a heat lamp, but he has diarrhea all over my bathroom and even with bleach, it wasn't all coming up. We removed the tiles. They were linoleum anyway...

    OMG HELP! Bourbon Red Tom cannot walk

    Thank you. I have him in the bathroom right now and have a little bowl of water with Corid in it. We just bought 20 chickens from our feed store and they had Coccidiosis. We lost 18 out of the 20 in 3 days just last week. :( We were able to save two of them. I really hope he doesn't have...

    OMG HELP! Bourbon Red Tom cannot walk

    We live in the Houston area and it has literally rained for days. Everything is wet. After dropping my son off from school, I noticed that my Tom turkey was huddled by an Oak tree in the yard. I think he must have flown over the fence in the run. We don't trim his flying feathers because we...

    Help! My chickens are swimming!

    Thank you both so much. :) We do have pallets everywhere. Luckily, the company my husband works at just throw them away, so ever so often, he brings a truckload of them home. But even they are starting to rot and get mushy. If I could just control the weather. ;)

    We live in the north part of Houston and we have literally had weeks of rain every day. Apparently, where our house sits, used to be a lake or something but everyone has yards about an inch high with water that is just not draining with all this rain. We converted part of our garage into a...

    First egg then nothing for days!

    Thank you so much for posting this! Being so new to keeping chickens, I had not realized EE's did not lay an egg every day. This is great information. We did get another lovely blue egg yesterday. It was even more blue than the first one. We are so excited! I can see why everyone loves...

    First egg then nothing for days!

    We have two Easter Eggers and one of them (we have our suspicions as to which one) laid a tiny blue egg Wednesday. We didn't find it until the next afternoon and of course, she laid it in the backyard near a tree and not in the nesting box! It was teeny tiny though. Now...NOTHING! I am so...

    efowl

    We had the absolute best experience with efowl.com. Each and every time I wrote to them, I got a super quick response within an hour. Every single chick we ordered got to us and we have not lost one of them so far. We ordered 10 Delaware's, 5 Silver Laced Wyandottes, 5 Easter Eggers, and 5...
