    Hi Everyone, I haven't been on in a while but I was wondering if anyone has a silkie rooster that needs a good home? I'm in LaGrange. Thanks!

    It looks like our blackberry vines we have in our backyard. If its not they were growing extremely close together.Quote: We call these brambles. A couple of times I let them grow thinking I might get blackberries. No such luck. So it might be a berry but might just be a bramble.

    ANOTHER salmonella outbreak at Mt. Healthy Hatchery

    To me the main problem with Salmonella is that you don't want to use those eggs for things like mayonnaise making or other raw uses. A pity and PITA. Not so much kissing chickens. Although I love mine you won't see me kissing on them. I know where they've been. LOL I do also keep separate...

    I asked on Managing Flock but Asking here too

    I don't see why not. You need to quarantine these new chickens anyway in the beginning. Then I would put them somewhere with a fence between them and the rest. They will get used to each other in no time. I've never had a problem integrating anything with chicks of any age or chickens of any...

    When Can You Give Chicks Bugs/Table Food, Etc.?

    I have a broody hen with two chicks that regularly gets on top of a seven foot gate. With the chicks. I couldn't believe it either until I watched her do it. When they are done they all fly down. The chicks were two weeks old when she started doing this with them. I was scared the chicks...

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    I have no idea but she sure is a cutey pie. Maybe a beard and ear tufts? Or a muff and beard? Surely someone will come along that knows the differences. LOL

    Ya'll are freaking me out with this snake talk. :shudder: I've just set two broody hens on eggs and worried snakes will get in there. Plus I don't even want to think about getting eggs today. I guess it's best to be warned. I need to take my flashlight with me from now on just in case. I...

    2 yr old rooster has gone psycho

    Have you looked into worming your chickens? Try to do a search for another poster around here named dawg53 and worming. Just as a side note: I would never listen to anything anyone says at a feed store. In my experience they usually give nothing but dangerous information. Sorry to anyone...

    2 yr old rooster has gone psycho

    Roosters will sometimes save themselves if things are really bad. They realize they are the only way to make more chickens and there are usually many more hens. I think it's a chicken survival thing.

    2 yr old rooster has gone psycho

    I've had great roosters but sometimes at certain ages they change. I wish I had known sooner how nice a rooster can be because I wouldn't have tolerated it so long. People always comment about how nice my chickens are and they do seem better than in the past to me as well. I just got rid of...

    2 yr old rooster has gone psycho

    This is almost the most important post that answers the OP. A rooster or hen can be bad or good (and needs to be dealt with either way) but we must remember that certain things do irritate. It might be as simple as a yellow line. I have had a similar experience with a rooster not feeling...
