    Does anybody have any fertile hatching eggs? A friend needs two or three for a school project. Don't worry! Any chicks will be safely be home. I will gladly pay for them. East side preferred as the class is in Mesa. Thanks!

    Yes-- I made the straps shorter and the bag smaller intentionally. It's *very* simple to make. There are many "how to's" in the forum and online. Search for "feed bag tote" or the like. If you have a little experience with a sewing machine, it could be done in no time.

    This sounds an awful lot like what my chickees had a few weeks ago. I only gave antibiotics to one and it didn't seem to make much of a difference. It seemed to run it's course through the whole flock with varying degrees of crustiness and sneezing. I didn't lose any, but was worried for a...

    So, What are the chances? I bought two polish chickens at the chicken show a few weeks ago. I was told at the time that they would "start laying soon." Today, both these chickens escaped the run through a tiny hole in the sunscreen--TWICE. I was running late for a meeting, so tossed them in...

    I'll be interested to hear what responses you get. I had a young'un with similar symptoms a few weeks ago. I bought the antibiotic that was recommended, but it didn't seem to make a difference. In the end, I decided it was probably a virus, and tossed her back with the group. Everyone seems...

    SILKIE BABIES! I die of the cute every time I look at my flock of silkies and they're in the awkward stage still.

    Anyone need the seed box? I'm ready to pass it along. I'm in phoenix, but heading up north to Page on Wednesday, so can deliver in Flagstaff or anywhere else along the way. For those of you that don't know, it's a giant box full of nearly every kind of seed. Take what you need, leave a few...

    Anybody know of a local source for chicken nipples? ... stop snickering. Chicken WATERING nipples? I know I can buy them online, but hate to spend $7 on shipping for a $2 thing. Shoppers and Higley didn't have them.

    I'll give that a try tomorrow. They have a heat lamp in the coop, but it has a red bulb... I bet white would be better for them. The new polish girls have the night time routine down pat!

    I wish my little fluff bombs would learn to go to bed at night. They start squawking in a group when the sun gets low, then SCATTER when I get close to help them into the coop... I'm getting quite adept at catching flapping chicks!

    It was great to meet everyone today! The seed box is ready to make it's move as well. Anyone want it? Send me a PM and I'll do my best to get it to you quick! Also, chicken math...

    I would LOVE to visit the seed box before it heads back south. I just built an 8' x 4' elevated planter. Plan to fill it up the last foot with soil tomorrow, then it's time to plant! Also--It would be awesome if shoppers ordered some wellsummers--I'd definitely get a few "real" chickens to...

    After 24 hours of observation, I really think "crusty" just has a corneal abrasion. (s)He is shaking his head and trying to "clean" the right eye, which is affected. The other eye is perfectly normal today. Very little drainage, and, although it was stuck shut this morning, it has been fine...
