    Sour crop woes!!

    I have been watching her crop closely, I took food away at bedtime last night and her crop was completely empty this morning. So hopefully this is a good sign. I am going to get some vitamins for her water today and keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for all your helpful advise! This is the best...

    Sour crop woes!!

    This morning my Tweet is alert and bright eyed, I am pretty sure she got too hot yesterday. But she is having trouble getting herself into a standing position.

    Mean pullets

    They are approximately 11 weeks old, all but the brahmas are sexed and guaranteed to be pulleys, and appear to be. The brahmas also look like pullers to me, but it is my first time with them. They don't seem to fight each other, they just don't seem to like people. They were babies(barely had...

    Mean pullets

    I am a new member, but not extremely new to raising chickens. I have a little bit of an odd problem, I purchased 6 pullets from TSC a little after Easter. We kept them inside until feathered out and until the temperature was warm enough to put them out. These chicks were handled and loved...
