    calling any one from missouri

    I was very nervous about adding the bantams to the flock but here's what we did. We bought the silkies and seramas from the same lady. We kept them in the small run (that we usually use for chicks as they grow out of the house) for about two weeks and introduced them at feeding time one morning...

    We got our first chickens last March. My husband wanted them and so I went with it. Fast forward to now and I'm addicted to everything chicken. We have a little bit of everything in our current flock. Leghorns, EEs, Barred Rocks, RIRs, Silkies, Seramas, d'Uccles, BCM, Buff Orps and mixes. They...

    Respiratory or Circulation Problems?

    Oh and no discharge from his nose or anything. Nothing was off physically other than his head and comb and waddles.

    Respiratory or Circulation Problems?

    When I got home from work, my husband told me the kids had been out looking at him just ten minutes before. And that he was standing up and seemed okay. But when I went out, he had already passed. Looked like he had just collapsed. His comb and face were nearly black. :(

    Respiratory or Circulation Problems?

    Respiratory or Circulation Problems?

    Okay! Thank you very much for the information! I will definitely mix from now on. Would too much calcium cause these problems?

    I have a black copper maran rooster named Fred. According to the person we acquired Fred from, he is around a year and a half old. Since Saturday, Fred hasn't been acting normal. He is usually extremely friendly and runs to me whenever I come out with treats. Saturday, he did not. He pecked...

    December hatch-along

    Yay! We have four chicks now with 15 left in the incubator. No external pips on any of them yet but the incubator ran on the low temp side so I'm expecting some late hatchers. Hoping for some more action tonight when we get home from all of the Christmas Eve festivities! Lol. Keep us updated on...
