    If you go to your local farm supply store they might have a spray call Nixall wound and skin solution. It works remarkably well at preventing infection and speeding the healing process. It's also available online at Nixall.com I'm not a salesman for them, but I've seen it work on cattle. It...

    I ran an electric fence, two strands high, around the outside of my fence to keep the ground predators at bay. Total cost was less than $200 and I can rest knowing they should remain safe while locked up in their run and coop.

    The small one seems to rule the roost, so to speak. It's eating and drinking just fine.

    I'm stumped. Why would two chicks be like three times the size of the third? Only thing I can think of is the bigger two are roosters or turkeys? All three have the same coloration sonim guessing roosters?

    We've got buff orpingtons, aurcanas, California whites, a mixed rooster and three 2 week old barred Plymouth Rock chicks. Our 12 hens, got them in March, average 8 eggs a day. Hopefully when next spring rolls around we can average a dozen or more per day.

    Thanks. I'm hoping to find some of the same quality as what I've found on Amazon. It's really great quality, just super expensive.

    I live in Springfield and have been buying my feed lately on Amazon from Scratch N Peck feeds. It's so expensive! Does anyone close know where I can get quality feed lime that locally, online or just less expensive? It runs $70 for a 50# bag and I go thru about 3-4 bags a month!

    sick chick

    Thanks, I understand about different time frames, zones etc. I work nights and just woke up. The chick died about 0330 this morning. We tried everything we could think of and nothing worked. In the long run it is a learning experience. Our kids are both upset, which is expected...

    sick chick

    We got four Plymouth Rock chicks yesterday. A neighbor gave them to us. They weren't suppose to hatch, she thought the eggs were rotten under a broody hen. Anyhow, they hatched and are 6 days old now. Three seem to be doing great. One seems to be a little smaller than the rest and slower to...
