    Is Screamin Mimi Marie a cockrel?

    Most definitely! About ten minutes outside is all it takes before I start seeing signs of him being hot. My girls have shade, ice water a pool and frozen fruit to get thru the heat.

    Is Screamin Mimi Marie a cockrel?

    I intended to add another section to my coop that's separate and when it cools down a little maybe get him some of his own girls. I'd love to keep him inside (he's a cuddler!) but I know he needs a regular chicken life and that isn't being the sole chicken.

    Is Screamin Mimi Marie a cockrel?

    No, I have a small mixed flock. Mimi had to heal first bcuz half his head was riped open and when I tried to add two chic's a week younger it didn't go well at all, he was also terrified of the big chickens and while all this was going on he was inside in the A/C and I'm Texas where we've been...

    Is Screamin Mimi Marie a cockrel?

    On June 5th I got to see my first ever live hatch. It was exciting right up until the chic cleared the egg and the hen attacked and scalped the chic. Yeah, no!! So for 13 weeks now I've had this baby in the house while she healed. Only egg in the clutch to hatch. The hen that laid this egg is a...

    Calling all Dog owners!

    Lucky is the love of my life. I adopted her almost 8 years ago. She turned 15 on July 4th. She's a long haired chocolate and tan dachshund (mini) she went down with IVDD in April 2010 so she'd had back surgery for a ruptured disc before I adopted her. I would have to say take lots of car rides...

    Huge bump/knot, veins, wasn't there earlier

    I agree, letting it dry out and get nasty made no sense and that's why I asked here! I know I'm still a newbie with loads to learn about chickens. This little chic thou? She's a special one! I'm trying to find her a friend her age or younger (she's a week old) so my question is now becomes this...

    Huge bump/knot, veins, wasn't there earlier

    Ok, I took a couple more bcuz it really looks worse and wet in the photos. It's bad, but those pics are horrible. She's been in the house five days now. I named her Screaming Mimi since she's got the loudest and very best healthy lungs I've ever heard from a chic. Due to the fact that she's...

    Huge bump/knot, veins, wasn't there earlier

    Sorry, I just saw this. I'll post one I just took and one right after I got her away from the hen. I think it looks way better, but I'm getting mixed advice on how long to put triple antibiotics on it. She's 5 days now if I remember correctly. Also none of the other eggs hatched, I need to find...

    Huge bump/knot, veins, wasn't there earlier

    Looks like the same thing! And it has gone down and Mimi is perfectly happy as long as she is with me. I have to pull the last two eggs from the broody today if they haven't hatched, I so hope this sweet baby has a friend. Thank you so much!

    Huge bump/knot, veins, wasn't there earlier

    I have a single chick that hatched 4 days ago. She has been inside with me from day one as I managed to catch my first ever hatch. The chick was attacked by the Mama hen the second she cleared the egg, so of course I snatched her up did some research here and she's been good with her scalped...

    Tricide Neo

    One of my hens had bumble foot over the summer. I also wanted to try non-evasive treatments. I found a veido on YouTube made by a veterinarian and followed his directions. Twice a day soak in warm Epson salt water for 15 minutes, making sure to move her feet and rub the pads during the soak...

    Barred or Dominique?

    These girls were all purchased at TSC durning chick days and were not supposed to be mixed bins.

    Barred or Dominique?

    The pullet on the left is getting ready to lay, she's almost 5 months old. She's supposed to be a barred rock. The pic on right that says Bets is supposed to be the Dominique and she is 11 months old. Her eggs are a medium to large brown egg. So I'm unsure what breed either of these girls are

    Barred or Dominique?

    So I have what I thought was a year old Dominique hen. Then I got 2 Barred Rock pullets. Thanks to chicken OCD's I've also purchased a couple of books on chickens and read a bunch online. Which is exactly where my confusion comes into play. The hen I thought was a dominique (Bets in photo) has a...
