    Comment by 'teamtmo' in article 'How to Treat Stick Tight Fleas in Poultry with Permethrin'

    Those damn ground squirrels! Between stealing my chickens eggs (small flock of 5 hens so it makes a HUGE dent) and spreading fleas to my chickens, the ground squirrels are driving me crazy! It's the first time I've experienced this in 10 years of chicken-keeping and this year is BAD with ground...

    GPS Tracker for Chickens

    I'm wondering if anyone has ever tracked where their chickens go to lay eggs? We have a hen who is only one year and is no longer laying her eggs in the nesting box. I've examined her and she is healthy. The only thing I have done differently is clean out the coop. She has done this in the past...

    Foamy eye maybe mycoplasma ?

    Did you ever figure out what was going on with your hen? Did she get better? Did any of your other chickens develop symptoms? I’m just now dealing with this with my hen and I don’t know what to do.

    Foaming from Eyes. HELP!

    * UPDATE * I gave her a bath and rinsed her eye under the running faucet. Upon further inspection, she seems to have a lump or bump in front of her affected eye that seems to possibly irritating her affected eye. Could a spider bite or mosquito bite have caused this too? We have black widows in...

    California-Southern

    Hi! I just saw your post while looking for other Simi Valley peeps. One of my girls started laying and the rest of my pullets will start laying soon. I have a buff polish cockerel who is very eager to mate with the girls and the egg I cracked looked like it was fertile. I come from a science and...

    Yard Size Ordinance

    Hi! I was searching for others in Simi Valley and just saw your post :) I am on my third flock. We took a little break over the past 5 years because I became a new Mommy to my two littles and wanted to focus on them. Now, my littles help with our new chickens! We got them from Kahoots in...

    Are you Bielefelders still laying at 18-24 months?

    I know this is an old feed but wanted to post my own experience in case it comes handy to anyone. My first flock from 9 yrs ago had one Bielefelder. She started laying around 30 weeks old. She was an amazing producer and would lay two eggs a day about 5-6 days a week! It was obviously hard on...

    1st Egg! But other Pullets haven’t laid yet. When do I start Layer Feed?

    My 19.5 week old Black Maran laid her first egg this morning! Unfortunately it was crushed soon after because the shell was so soft. My 4 other pullets have not laid any eggs yet. They are all roughly the same age but different breeds. I understand different breeds of chickens start laying at...

    Runny Poo in 6 day old chicks

    They are eating chick started crumbles mixed with a little medicated chick crumbles. They are drinking water but nothing else at this point. I was thinking of offering a second container of electrolyte/probiotic water

    Runny Poo in 6 day old chicks

    How are your chicks doing? Did you figure out what was going on? I just got new chicks from a feed store and a couple had runny poop but no pasty butt, but after two days I am seeing more have runny poop. They were vaccinated for Coccidiosis by the hatchery. I'm trying to figure out what could...

    New 1 week old chicks with runny poop

    I bought 6 new chicks from Kahoots in Moorpark two days ago. They are about 1 week old and have all been vaccinated by the hatchery for Mareks and Coccidiosis. They were eating non-medicated feed at the feed store. When I brought them home, I introduced them to a mix of non-medicated feed and...

    Need advice on sneezing 10 day old chick

    I picked up 6 chicks from Kahoots in Moorpark two days ago. They are all between the ages of 6 days to 10 days and were vaccinated for Mareks and Coccidiosis by the hatchery. My oldest one, the black maran sex link, has been sneezing for the past day and a half. She seems healthy otherwise. She...

    Sulmtalers Thread

    On average, around what age do Sulmtalers completely stop laying eggs? I have a 3 year old Sulmtaler hen who didn’t lay for almost a week. Then, she layed 3 eggs back to back again. I live in Southern California, so the weather is always pretty mild.

    Vaccinating small flock against Newcastle Disease

    I recently found out that Newcastle disease is rampant in Southern California right now and I want to protect my flock. However, my 3 year old chickens have never been vaccinated against Newcastle disease. I tried to research vaccination schedule for ND, but only found info on vaccinating chicks...

    Need advice on vaccinating chickens for Newcastle & Mareks

    Our chicks have been kept inside our house completely separate from our adult chickens, so there is no chance they have been exposed to Mareks. We vaccinated our adult chickens against Mareks when they were around 5 weeks old as well. What is the wing web stab method?

    Need advice on vaccinating chickens for Newcastle & Mareks

    I have three 5 week (Silver Laced Orpington) & 6 week (Easter Egger) old chicks that I want to vaccinate against Mareks before I move them outside to join my small flock of already Mareks-vaccinated chickens (They are 3 years old now). I recently found out Newcastle Disease is rampant right now...

    One chicken started laying eggs. When should the other chicken start laying?

    Thank you! That helps a lot actually :-) It is cute how our other hen gets real quiet and stands guard right on top of the coop while our Sulmtaler is inside it making her nest/laying.

    One chicken started laying eggs. When should the other chicken start laying?

    Our 8 month old Sulmtaler just started laying eggs 3 days ago, and has consistently layed one every day. Our 8 month old Bielefelder has not started laying yet, & we are starting to worry that maybe she could be egg bound? We assumed they would be on the same cycle, similar to other animals with...
