I am also having a herb garden chicken dirt bathing issue. I have tried to get them to stop...I think next year they will have their own herb garden and I will leave clear spots for them to get in there! Maybe they will like that better than mine. they have mashed my fennel and mint until I...
well, my beautiful Roo has started crowing! Yep "Big Boy" from my profile pic finally made his imperfect attempt at his morning crow. If anyone would like a beautiful Roo, please let me know. I cant keep one where I live. I would be willing to trade for a hen that is laying or a dressed and...
no. She had thick yellow mucus. She never would let people get close to her so she is one that we probably did not check on as thoroughly as the others. That's where the name Skitzy came from. She was always a thin bird and never a noticeable weight loss when she would be running around. We...
not real sure. Came from TSC. They said she was a leghorn but to us she was just a pretty yellow chick the same size as the others we bought that day. lol we did a lot of research before and made sure we had everything we thought we needed before getting them home but then we realized just...
Lost my first fluffy butt last night. I did all I could but she just did not make it. Wow...she was one that would not let you touch her much less hold her unless you got her off the roost so for her to let me hold her to syringe feed her and clean that gunk out as much as I could was the...
well, my fluffy friend did not make it through the night. I had to lay her in her little box I sat up for her to cook dinner for the family and when I came back to check on her, she had gone to the free range, mealworm heaven of chickens. this was a shock but we will still have our other...
not smelly that I noticed. I have some sinus issues so it would have had to have been really bad for me to smell it. she does sound congested when she breathes. She has never laid eggs so I don't know if that would be the problem...we have had her for 16 weeks so I think there would be more...
I just posted about my chicken that is sick in the emergency area. If any of yall read it and can help, please let me know. This is my first "sick' chick and I am a little flustered about what to do!
My son came in this morning from filling waterers and feeding the chickens. He came back in and said something was wrong with Skitzy. We are not sure of her age, she was given to us 16 weeks ago as part of a pair of 'full grown chickens'. She has never laid an egg for us but her partner has...
we were actually told our fat white chicken "Dumplin" was a leghorn. She does waddle but has very thick fat legs. She seems to do ok but is slower than the other chickens. She even sounds somewhat like a goose instead of a chicken. Our boss chicken seems to peck at the fatty a lot. She is a...
that's why I am more sure he is a roo now than before. We cant have roos here in the neighborhood but I will keep him until he crows...just to be sure! lol He is a beautiful bird. I just uploaded pics of all my chickens if anyone would like to see them. You can see more pics of him and my...
