    Where is the best place to buy Cornish X Rock chicks?

    How long do you keep the chicks inside before they feather out enough to go outside? What is the minimum area I can safely keep 125 birds in? Do you butcher at 8 weeks or sooner? I know this is lots of questions, but this is my first time doing this and I am still trying to figure out what I...

    hatchery Marans and Welsummers

    I bought Golden Cuckoo Maran eggs from Gabbard Farms and two hatched out of 9 eggs. The female died after 4 months but the rooster is gorgeous. I also got some Blue Orpingtons from Gabbard and they hatched at a higher rate and are gorgeous. Has anyone gotten Welsummers from Meyer? I want...

    Wanted Guinea Keets

    I wonder if you can order now for shipment in April. I will have to call them and ask. Most hatcheries are booking dates to ship and many are booked through June. I was hoping to have them early spring and keep them indoors for 8 weeks. Thanks! Kim

    Problem with Black Star hen

    I hope that is the problem. She is not in pain when I touch her and now she is flopping around her crate more. She started out standing on one of her legs and now she won't support her weight on either leg. Her legs move fine and her feet too, but if you put her on her feet, she goes...

    Problem with Black Star hen

    How long did it take before your bird got better from the fall? This bird has been like this for just over a week. She moves around the crate flapping very well. Her legs are working fine. We do have a chicken condo they can climb up to and some do fly down. We considered an injury, but she...

    Problem with Black Star hen

    My bird is right at 20 weeks old. I am going to try what the previous poster said about putting her bottom in warm water and massaging it. I have to see if she is egg bound. I have 9 Black Stars and only one of them has started laying. Someone else suggested a vitamin deficiency and said to...

    Problem with Black Star hen

    She was vaccinated for Mareks. She is not exhibiting any other signs of being sick. She won't support her weight on her feet, but moves her legs very well to get around the crate. We can try the gelcap and garlic. At this point, all the chicken people I have consulted, don't have any...

    Problem with Black Star hen

    I have a problem with a chicken and I am hoping your expertise can help me figure out what is wrong. Last Tuesday, one of my Black Stars did not want to walk on one of her legs. I posted on all the chicken forums I belong to and was told to put iodine on her legs and then mineral oil and wait...

    Poultry nipples-Farmtek

    We used the push in type for the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket. The rubber grommet that comes with the nipple sealed just fine and there wasn't any leaking at all. We did not need to use caulk or sealant. Last night we put the poultry nipples on hamster bottles for the 4 week old chicks. It is...
