    I also have lavenders - 10 babies that are "related" to yours. Mine are about a week old now, doing great w/their foster mom (an Orpington/WyandotteX).

    Dog run?

    It works if you don't have chicks - only for older birds, unless you line it with a wire that has smaller holes. Don't forget an animal-proof top...hawks, coons, etc.... Have fun!

    Actually both parents were blue Orpingtons - I didnt see this type of feathering on either one. I got her (and 4 others) from a breeder here in WA state.

    Dual Purpose Chickens. I want eggs and meat, when should I butcher?

    Well, Pureupto99per, if you wait a few years those hens will be so tough all you'll have is soup... Meat birds are usually butchered before they are a year old - so that is a good way to handle culls or extra birds - and then the best are bred and/or produce eggs. I love my Orpingtons &...

    Sex-link with Coryza (update) - how long for Tylan to work?

    Baytril is great - but it is Rx only from your vet. We had both tablets (for dogs & cats), and a liquid compounded for cats/small animals. It also comes in an injectible that we used for reptiles. I wish you luck

    Has anyone ever used WormGuard Plus for you chickens?

    I am very reluctant to put anything in my animals (or myself) if I don't know the ingredients. What type of worms are you targeting? Or are you doing just broad-spectrum?

    Okay...help boost my confidence....

    Bantybev; you started my day off right! With a big laugh at myself & my husband (who does have building knowledge, but hates plans & organization!). We had a few "words" with each other, but it was mostly on building the predator-proof yard. Our coop is big - 8x10 - and now has exterior...

    To brood or not to brood....

    Lauralou; When you break a broody do you use the cage method? I have a wire dog crate I am thinking of using - it is a good size for my large hens.
