    City Harassment Of Chicken Owners - If This Is Happening To You - Get Help!

    My wife and I have had a small amount of abuse from city officials who have changed the rules in my area regarding the ownership of chickens. They claim they have made no changes to the regulations but it's clear they have, and as a result they're not grandfathering us in. We made the mistake of...

    We are the new proud parents of 18 Buff Orpinton's. Our Buff Orp's are still living in the home until our hutch is complete (we have the foundation and frame done!) I will post pictures soon. They are growing SO fast. They're now 4 weeks old and are very friendly. This is the first week we...

    Can chickens taste/smell?

    Quote: That's really neat that you experimented with her food and water dish that way. Very clever, I didn't know they could smell! We had a blind chicken (result of a dog attack and infection) that lived for about a year after the attack and did just fine out in the yard with the other...

    Hen with eye completely clouded over.....help!

    Last night we discovered that our buff Orp "Scarlet" had some grey spots in her left eye. Less than 4 hours later it was COMPLETELY clouded over. What would cause this and how can I try to 'fix' it? Background on Scarlet: She is recovering from a nasty dog bit. Took a chuck right out of...

    Neighbor Poisoning Our Chickens?

    Thanks again everyone. I'm getting a cheap webcam to put out on the fence. Haven't decided which one yet. Also I've e-mailed our Extension office (trouble finding their phone number) so we'll see how that turns out. The Attorneys at my wifes office concur with your advice about filing a report...

    Neighbor Poisoning Our Chickens?

    Good advice. Thank you every one. Can I still file a police report if the last attack was over a week ago? We still have one chicken that's in our bathroom trying to recover and we spent $100 on vet bills for her and would like to return it (the bill) to them.

    Neighbor Poisoning Our Chickens?

    Thanks for your responses. I am looking into getting a camera that faces back there. It's expensive but so is an autopsy we just don't have a lot of money. I think they're poisoning them because the dog can no longer get through without some direct help from the neighbors. We have wire burried...

    Neighbor Poisoning Our Chickens?

    We have an emergency with chickens getting sick lately and dying I'm wondering if anyone knows if these symptoms are a disease or the neighbor poisoning our chickens. To understand why I think it's our neighbor I'll give you a brief background. They have a little terrier that got into our yard a...

    Utah!

    That's a rough hatch, I'm sorry. Where do you live? I don't think I could choose one of mine to part with. If you are really worried about your little guy, I would buy him from you if you are relatively close in location. He's a Banty Mille Fleur, right? If you can't part with him, I would...

    Want to sell one? We just incubated 24 eggs and only one hatched, we're worried the little thing will be lonely.

    Utah - Need A Hatchling Chick Or Two - Emergency!!

    Thanks again. I sent a PM to Josh <fingers crossed> If Muddypuddles is right, I guess the worst thing is the chick will imprint on us. That's ok, we already have a chicken that thinks she's human for some reason, what's one more?

    Utah - Need A Hatchling Chick Or Two - Emergency!!

    Thanks again. Can't find anything around SLC, Ogden, or even Provo on Craigslist. I also tried Josh's as you suggested but he just has eggs on eggbid.com and I can't find an email address for him to check on chicks themselves. I'm still hopeful This is a great community!

    Thanks ChanceRider, that's very thoughtful of you. We've placed a local ad, but not on Craigslist. I think we'll try that next.

    Quote: We have some eggs if you don't mind having Blue, Black, Splash, and Buff Orpingtons... We have a beautiful Blue Orpington Roo and a mixed flock of black, blue, splash, and buff orp hens. So far we've hatched three chicks from them: 2 buff, 1 black and they're all beautiful birds. PM me...

    Utah - Need A Hatchling Chick Or Two - Emergency!!

    Good suggestion. We called them but they all stop stocking around June. Thanks Muddypuddles, I just posted there as well. The last time I was there it wasn't that active so I thought I'd post here first.

    Utah - Need A Hatchling Chick Or Two - Emergency!!

    Sorry to use emergency in the title, but we're just had 24 eggs under the incubator and only one egg hatched. We're afraid this lone chick will not do well without a mother or other chicks to keep it company. If there's anybody who can spare a chick or two and live in Utah, we'll drive over and...
