Week 1 update.
Gave away the 5 packing peanuts.
Had one chick that was fine the the morning and could barely move at night. Separated. Gave it and the rest vitamins, cooked egg yolk and sugar water. The one did not make it, but the others are not acting weird at all. No diarrhea or any other...
My whole issue was the post office I believe. None of them made it. The post office did not do what they said they were going to do when I called them. I ask to be called and the package held for pickup.They did not do what was requested by the shipping label either. It also ask that I be called...
Just sold them today. Had someone that rescheduled 3 times. Sorry about that. You can get easter egger chicks from Wabash Feed Store near downtown in Houston. Just call to see if they have them in stock. They tend to stock them more in the spring, but they have production reds right now.
I have 7 hens I want to get rid of. All are just over 1 and a half years old. 4 are production reds and 3 are easter eggers. Will sell for $10.00 each.
Please send me a PM if you are interested in picking them up. I live near 288 and bw 8.
I currently have a mixed flock of 4 production reds and 3 easter eggers.
It is my first flock. I want to get rid of the easter eggers. I don't want to build a new run or house for a younger group of chickens. From what I have read, it would seem I would be better off getting rid of the whole...
Anyone know where a feed mill is near Houston? Actually anywhere to get cheap chicken feed around the Houston area. Preferably on the south side. I bought my first 50# bag at Wabash for around $20 then found Steinhauser's for $17.50. The last couple bags I have gotten from Ray's feed store near...
I will be out of grower by this weekend. I think I will just go ahead and move to layer after that. I switched from granite to shells for grit about two weeks ago. I was just worried because I have seen so many post that the excess calcium can be bad for non laying chickens.
How long does it...
Paprika (US English) is made from peppers with very low capsaicin %. That is why paprika is not hot. Almost everywhere else in the world paprika is any ground red pepper. So it can range from mild to extremely hot. It the US we break it out to things like chili powder, paprika and cayenne/red...
Even if all your neighbors, except that one that walks around the neighborhood looking for stuff, want you to have more chickens, I would not. It only takes one neighbor to cause a problem.
Who am I kidding. My neighborhood only allows 2 hens. No roosters. I have 7 hens. Started with 8 and had...
I am not sure where something like this goes, but it is very interesting. I figured lots of people here would find it interesting too. Sorry if someone has already posted this.

I was almost 100% sure he was a rooster. Then last night he started crowing every 3 minutes or so and did not stop before I left for work. If anyone wants a free Rooster send me a message or call...
This is just my two cents on the issue. I have had dogs all my life. I have had great ones and I have had ok ones. Some of the ones with the best personality were mutts. Unless you are getting the dog to do a certain thing like hunting or need a dog to able to run with you everyday, you don't...
