    HELP! Chicken in trouble - drooling, lethargic

    Louise died early this morning under my deck. My concern now is if she could have been contagious. Thank you for any thoughts. Karen

    HELP! Chicken in trouble - drooling, lethargic

    I realize I'm dredging up an old topic, but my Ameraucana hen that is about 1 year old I found this morning drooling,lethargic and barely able to keep her eyes open. No visible wounds, cannot feel an impacted crop (I lost another to that about 8 months ago). The only time I could see her moving...

    FLORIDA!!!!!ALWAYS SUNNY SIDE UP!!!

    I've found the easiest hens for this area, and hardiest and good egg producers to be the Rhode Island Reds. I don't know too much about Opingtons. If you look over the various breeds in the listings on backyardchickens.com, you can read about and decide for yourself. I haven't seen a lot of...

    FLORIDA!!!!!ALWAYS SUNNY SIDE UP!!!

    Welcome! I am just around the corner from you in Tampa! I just went to Holloway's Feed Store in Land O Lakes on 41. They have baby RIRs and Americaunas (sp), and will be getting some Jersey Giants (I'm partial to these breeds as that's what I have). Great place to get hens, as well as...

    introducing Chicks to Flock

    Thank you! So, maybe put the small coop in the big 10' x 10' coop at night for a while? I've never felt so stupid in my life!

    Needless to say, the JGs are at the bottom of the pecking order

    introducing Chicks to Flock

    HELP! I have 2 RIR and 1 Americauna (sp). They're all about 5 months old. I also have 2 Jersey Giants that are about 2.5 months old. I raised the JG since they were 2 weeks old, and beca of their slow growth rate and age, kept them in a small coopseparate from the others. They are now about...

    Topic of the Week - Feeding table scraps to your flock

    I agree with your healthy feeding habits! I am also so sorry for your loss. I lost a baby Jersey Giant that was only 2 weeks old to a stray cat. I THOUGHT she was safe, but sadly, she wasn't as protected in her outside habitat as I thought (which is why my 2 7-week old JGs now sleep in a...

    Topic of the Week - Feeding table scraps to your flock

    I have started feeding my girls some plain all natural yogurt with bananas and blueberries mixed in it (fresh fruits). They LOVE it and love to throw the berries in the air, chase and finally eat them. Odd 'ducks'.

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    I am sorry for your loss as well. Being in Tampa, I have to wait until the ground is dry enough to bury Peaches. She had an enlarged crop when I got her 3 months ago, but being new, I didn't realize the potential severity. She died in my arms from (I later learned) an impacted crop. I...

    My beautiful girl, Peaches. She passed away a little over a week ago. It's still very painful. :(

    Louise, sister by adoption of Thelma (a RIR). Louise is definitely the quieter of the two!

    Topic of the Week - How long do chickens live?

    Insomnia is obviously getting the best of me, as I quoted your post and then hit reply without saying anything. Do over. It sounds as if you are having much better luck than the average bear with your hens and roos. I personally only have hens for pets and for the eggs, but understand that we...
