    My bearded dragon's Health

    Stacykins, Your comment: Yea, you should have done your research before bringing home a new pet of a species you've never taken care of. It is part of responsible animal care 101. is a little counter productive since I do not believe it is helpful to chastise someone for a question when...

    HELP PLS ...

    Did you set the eggs all at one time or did other hens lay in the nest while she was brooding? Mama will eventually start taking care of her new babies as she should and leave the nest. I'm no expert, my first broody is hatching as I type. From what I have read on BYC the eggs can hatch over...

    Hmmm was wondering about dog hair added to coop floor would like some input please.

    Interesting question.......perhaps you could google organic gardening/ compost sites and find out how dog hair breaks down. The other part of the puzzle is what is dog hair composed of because you know those chickie devils will at least snack on it.

    Using a first time broody to hatch some eggs!

    Certainly our eyes are inexperienced but we checked out BYC postings for candling, reread our reference books and waited till after dark to go into the broody enclosure. What a thrill to see movement. Our broody is so sweet she doesn't like us near her but won't peck. Is your BR being naughty or...

    Finally the first egg- now what?

    Congratulations and may your girls lay you many more! I refrigerate mine, others leave them on the counter top. You should cook that egg by your favorite method and ENJOY. Also, give your chicks a treat.

    Organic Feeding

    Our first flock was fed Countryside Organics and they did great. We supplemented with their eggs, green leafy veggies, oatmeal etc. The present flock was fed Purina and the same supplements until we saw a definite difference in growth and health. The girls are on a local grain mill food now and...

    Chicken mauled by dog--please help

    Sorry about your silky. I had a LF BO who was attacked by a dog awhile ago. It sounds like your silkie was not hurt as badly as my chick. I kept her separated, cleaned her wounds daily with antibiotic wash, feed her extras besides her regular feed and also used Neosporin. Surprisingly my girl...

    Broody hen question

    Thanks, Judy. The eggs in the basement are from yesterday, the rest of the girls only laid 3 today so I will put 9 under the BO tonight. Actually the broody box is 24" x 24" but the door is open and the hen has a 4' x 4' enclosure in the big chicken run. I read a lot of the info on the broody...

    Broody hen question

    Woohoo! I finally got a broody - my 1 1/2 yr old BO has been sitting for 3 days. I was able to transfer her from the coop to the broody box last night, she was still stuck fast this morning. She is sitting on wooden eggs but I want to switch to real eggs tonight. The eggs I collected yesterday...

    Anyone know how to cook blue fish so it doesnt taste disgusting?

    Years ago we had a neighbor who went deep sea fishing and gave us all the bluefish we wanted. Can't remember my homemade recipe but I baked it in the oven with a tomato sauce. I used lots of canned tomatoes, onion and garlic and served rice on the side to soak up the sauce. My sons were young at...

    Hello from Northwest Ga

    Welcome to BYC. We are also in NW Ga. Orpingtons are my favorite, really sweet chickens, great egg layers and good during our winters. Just keep an eye on them during the summer as the weather can be hot for them. If you decide on Orps, during the summer provide lots of cool, fresh water; plenty...
