I ordered Black Copper Marans eggs from Wayne 813 back in early November.First he promised to mail them out on Saturday.The eggs didn't actually make it in the mail until Tuesday.When I received the eggs only 2 were dark chocolaty brown like I expected from Marans.I questioned him about it and...
I agree with the hot wire its just a matter of placing it in the right spot.There is a lot of chance that he will go before it or after it.And I would be concerned if the chickens were out that they could walk into it.The pepper spray you would work but it would better if you could spray him...
I am not sure what would be more costly and labor intensive but your right,your options are digging up around your fence and burying wire.Or you can buy re bar and pound them into the ground every foot to keep the dog from entering.I am so sorry you are going through this.I would be so...
most wormers require you to dispose of the eggs.Each wormer has a different time length,be sure to read the directions on the bottle.

sorry,that should be http://www.gulfcoastfinches.com then go and look for the Green Day Diet tab.
you DO NOT have to pair together birds with same head color,that would not affect your clutch size
The problem with using zebras as surrogate parents is that goulds develope slower.If you had even a...
I had this same issue.With my goulds I ended up putting their seed and the Green day Diet (www.http://gulfcoastfinches.com ) on a 6 inch plate.I mixed it up a little bit so the goulds would have to at least taste some of the other foods.I only did this for about 4-6 weeks before I was able to...
while awaiting test results the best thing you can do is keep them comfortable.Making sure they are eating,drinking and going to the bathroom.Keeping eyes and nostrils cleared and cleaned makes them feel better.Keeping them in a warm non-drafty area is also good.But I would recommend reading up...
I dont want to comment about the respiratory issues or the antibiotics but I do want to say your hen looks like she has a condition called scissor beak.That would be why she is loosing weight.You can learn to trim the beak and it would make things better/not cure her.It takes a lot of work and...
This is partially chicken related.If this post is some how not permitted,please let me know and I will try and remove it.My husband and myself currently rent.We are looking to find another rental or lease in Brevard County.We want a place that actually allows chickens (and my 5 large dogs) I...
I waited until too late in the day to take good pics but heres some updated ones.As you can see they are near the coop,have had to wrap it in blankets at night because its been in the 40's here.
I Hope Everyone Has A Very Happy Thanksgiving!
