    Icelandic Chickens

    Quote: That's so great you shipped Icelandics out to Dilly! I had to do a double take when I read that...I fish out of there in the summer and always love driving past their house and seeing their birds out in the big pen. There's not a lot of livestock out there, shoot there's not a lot out...

    Happy to introduce myself to the BYC!

    Thanks everybody! It's so nice to be a poster instead of a lurker (altho nothing wrong with the latter as there is so much good info here)!

    WE got 3 week old chicks. Now what?

    Sounds like the temperature is just about right, and they will keep feathering out as they age and it's gets cooler. Just watch for any drastic changes (as can happen in fall) and monitor their behavior, i.e., huddling means their cold, panting means their hot. I kid, but it's super hot where...

    Help! Reddish poop!

    Can you post a pic? How does it smell? (I know, totally gross.) I completely freaked out when I discovered the infamous cecal poop, which can have a slightly...terra cotta look to it (and oh, does it stink). I don't have any experience with cocci (thankfully), but from what you're...

    Partially Finished Coop #2 & #3 started already!

    Absolutely gorgeous coops! *green with envy* And I love the chicken crossing sign, that's so cute. Also, agree with the previous poster about the solar lights, nice touch.

    Flea DE Experiment

    ...fortune on meal worms for my younger chickens. He also started a red worm bin (which he has hidden from me because that is for composting purposes *only* and not for me and my birds, but I found it so neener neener) and most recently a scorpion farm. The latter totally freaks me out, but oh...

    Flea DE Experiment

    Awesome, can't wait to hear the final results. I love DE, it's amazing stuff and the feed store where I live can barely keep it in stock. A little OT, but I think it's pretty cool you have foxes AND chickens.

    PLEASE HELP URGERNT. black substance covering chicken comb

    Can you post a pic? Her whole head was covered in blood? Is there any way a predator could of scared them and the hens got caught in the chicken wire (happened to my chickens once). From your description, it sounds like perhaps they got into a tousle, either with themselves or something else...

    A little off the subject but....

    Any chance you can board up the windows? So sorry to hear about the weather; wishing you all the best. Ugh, that sounds so lame and ineffectual but it's true.

    Chickens and compost bins - do they go together?

    The only reason I don't like keeping my compost near my chickens is I'm afraid it will attract nefarious creatures (even tho we only compost plant matter, we live in predator-landia and coons will eat anything). Otherwise I think it's great and like another poster mentioned, the chickens get in...

    Excessive flies

    Weird, is there anything else they could be attracted to? Is there a garden nearby, or anything with moisture? Is it really warm where you are? Reason I ask is because obviously flies will lay their eggs in anything, and if it's warm they will hatch like crazy. What about setting up a fly...

    My 4 Month Old Chickens Still Do Not Roost

    What breed of chickens are they? I've had to show my chickens how to roost before, usually only took a couple nights before they figured it out and did it themselves. And then my boyfriend brought home three beautiful (and ginormous) adult silver laced cochins. Um, they could barely walk up...

    Can I put Newborn Chicks In with a Lone 2 Week Old?

    ...Older ages, sure, but the babies are just so itty bitty, and a 2 week old chicken is like a whole other enchilada already. Although I did have a *special* 2 week old chick that wasn't really thriving with her age, so I stuck her in with the little guys and she did okay. I guess it's...
