    Chicks Are Now 5 Months

    Chicks are now Chick - ens at 5 months and everyone survived ! No eggs yet, but combs and wattles are filling out and rosying up. Big Roo 'Albion' is now a rather aggresive roo which I am not totally happy with, but maybe its just teenage hormones checking in and he will mellow out at least...

    Probiotics can be bought for farm critters in a powder form that mixes in the water same as the apple cider vinegar. I keep a mixed solution in my fridge almost always and give them a quart in with their regular water. I used about a Tbsp of the vinegar in a quart of water. Or you can just buy...

    Have you tried a probiotic solution and cider vinegar??? When my guys get droopy that has always been the first thing I have done. Also oregano oil on her feed if she will tolerate it??? As much fluid as you can get into her, flavoring the water??? the more fluids the more flush in all areas...

    Hidey Hole Chickens. I have only had one chicken disapear on me, inside the coop... And the only way out was by human hands undoing latches. Interestingly enough my back gate into the neighbors was left open and I had heard voices in their back yard late the night before. Geeez I even...

    No Worries. I'm a bit stressed out about this and life in general at the moment. I really want to keep him and work it out, but just got my hours cut back to 25 from 40, so not even sure if I can feed myself. Also was starting new biz part time teaching art in schools and out of my home studio...

    Yes I have been attacked by an over large RIR Roo that I had to cull out of a low pen for a friend cause he was literally raping the hens. He came at me full force and I had a box ready for him and it was done. I am not advertising this guy is a sweet docile guy. I am putting out there that...

    Hey Golden Feather, I was having the same prob with uploading one of my pics today, I think it was just too big and was taking too much time and got internet timed out. Can you downsize your pics to 72 dpi before trying to upload??? As soon as I reset my pic to web size it loaded just fine!

    ARIZONA CHICKEN LOVERS!!! I have decided it is time to find better home for 'BIG ROO' aka 'Albion' he will still get his portrait painted entitled 'BIGGER THAN LIFE' but he needs a bigger environment with more hens than I can provide. Nor do I have the time or inclination to 're-train' an...

    what age will roosters turn MEAN?

    My issue isn't really with the Big Roo, I am planning a portrait of him called 'Bigger than Life' unless of course he turns mean to the hen's and that I have experienced from others and luckily never been my own issue. I can work around him if I have to with kids out there, but I just don't...

    what age will roosters turn MEAN?

    Great reading, kinda makes me feel guilty. I hand raised my first batch of chicks this year, they are a mixed batch with two Roo's I am hoping will be able to keep together. At 5 months everyone is maturing quite nicely and up until a month ago there were no issues. All of a sudden Big Roo...
