    The pictures don't show it, but Lucky's "son" is already considerably larger than Lucky. (Jr's momma would've been an ISA Brown.)

    Yup. I have 2 roosters also... I have Lucky (from you) and one of his offspring - Lucky, Jr.

    They had some people from ADEQ come out and take water samples from our well. That was just to get a baseline, though. I've been keeping some eggs on rotation set aside at room temp in case I suddenly lose my flock. That way I'd at least be able to incubate them.

    Thanks for asking. They appear to be fine so far.

    She was an ISA Brown. She was one of two that I got from Cal Ranch, March of 2023. Sounds like you've been getting quite a load of chickens hatching this past summer.

    I'm afraid my hen passed this afternoon. I hope it wasn't Marek's and I hope the rest of the flock will be ok.

    If you're referring to the eyeball itself, her one eye has had that unusually small pupil for over a year now. The balding and black stuff is new. I'm going to research ocular mareks now. Yes. I just checked on her again and I noticed that as well. The black junk seems less for some reason. I'm...

    She seemed to be getting left alone (not bothered). I was wondering if she was sick, or just dying for some reason. Not sure if that balding near the eye is indicative of something. Overall, my flock is pretty low-key, nothing ever too aggressive.

    I don't think so. She's typically the "top" hen.

    Arizona Chickens

    Woke up this morning to an apparently sick chicken. She's tucked herself in the broody breaker cage, didn't come out even for the sprouts or fermented feed (highly unusual), and wouldn't touch the normal feed I put in front of her. She won't stand up either. Anyone have any thoughts? I don't...

    Calling All Rabbit Nutters

    By putting a mesh about an inch or so above the soil in a pot, you can have grass (or whatever) grow and the rabbit won't be able to nibble it down to the roots. It will just keep growing. Attached are two examples. The one in the pot is self-explanatory. For the other example, you would place...

    Thanks! We only caught the edge of the storm and we're 50 miles from Phoenix! Dust storms are worst for those caught driving (like Bluebaby) or just outside. With one duststorm we had, I accidentally left a small window over the tub/shower open just a crack. (The opening was 1/2" by 6.")...

    Favorite All Flock feed?

    Yes, but they won't be able to avoid getting some of the new stuff while foraging through the mix. Then, hopefully, they'll gradually get used to it as they get less of the old.:fl

    Favorite All Flock feed?

    I don't know if this applies to chickens, but I know it does for many other animals... Try mixing the starter with the new stuff. This way they can get used to the new stuff more gradually. You can adjust the ratio as you go, starting with higher ratio of what they're used to and then...

    How to decide which Roo to keep (and which to dispatch).

    UPDATE: I've decided to keep both roosters, at least for now. The older one keeps the cockerel in his place but nothing too aggressive or concerning. So far, so good. :pop

    Somehow I'll have to find a way to store inside until the weather cools. I really don't have the space. Glad to hear your husband is doing better.
