    The American Erminette Breeder

    I'm not sure if you've seen this thread but though it's from many years ago, a few breeders are mentioned. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/chicken-breed-focus-erminette.1129899/ If you run out of leads here, I would try your local/state poultry groups on Facebook. You can ask in those...

    New Chicken owner , please help....

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow They are pretty birds! Is it four I see? That's neat you got grown birds though! Some here could probably ID them for you, but otherwise, just post pictures in the What Breed or Gender forum and folks will help you. If you want to have your own thread that...

    Brooder Material

    We've used horse bedding pellets in the coops for nearly a decade, but just a couple of years ago thought I'd try them in the brooders. What a game changer! No smell anymore, no pads to change, just stir them around with a stick daily. In the coops, the chickens do that. Do they eat them...

    Chicks wont stay ubder heat pad?????? Help!

    These are like day or two old chicks? By heating pad, do you mean a momma heating pad? They should go under themselves unless they are just hours old and don't have the energy. They can't regulate themselves yet to know if they are too warm but they surely should know they are cold and go...

    Frost bite?

    We use those nipples. Our silkies have beards but not much for wattles, yet they get can get wet too. It helps to put that bucket up on about four pavers so it's level to their heads as they stand in front of it. They shouldn't have to bend over (much) to get water. Then if there are drips...

    Computer issues after last Windows Update

    I tried ChatGPT's advice: Did/checked everything. But alas, none of this worked either. This is a very common issue after recent Windows updates, and it’s usually not caused by browser cookies at all — even if it looks like it. Here are the most common causes that fit your description...

    Winter broodiness

    Good idea! As long as you set it up on bricks or something so she gets air underneath her.

    Corid treatment/ coccidiosis

    is there a chance it’s wet where they’ve been? It’s unusual older ones, especially free rangers get it because they’ve built up immunities. When mine got coccidiosis, it was from putting young, unexposed birds right from brooder to a growout pen we’d just had other chicks in. They got a...

    Sneezing Chickens?

    Oh let's hope that's what it is! They'll sniffle, snort, and sneeze but should be over that in a few minutes!

    Corid treatment/ coccidiosis

    So sorry for your losses. :hugs Yes, you are advised to repeat the Corid in 5-7 days if symptoms persist. Make sure you don't give them any vitamins while they're on it. Hopefully, this works!

    Winter broodiness

    I have a couple that do that too. It's in and out sometimes twice. I have one that I swear is broody more than she's not. It's best to break them though for health reasons so I'd just try again. It does get frustrating!

    Hello from Sunny2022 in central Michigan. We are a retired couple that decided to add chickens to our life fun.

    Computer issues after last Windows Update

    No. I'm not worried about that though. It's a pain but I can download most from iCloud again. I just mention it as that also happened from the Windows Update.

    Computer issues after last Windows Update

    Installed that and rebooted. No change. Had to verify everywhere all over again. This is getting old fast!

    Howdy. One lame hen...

    I saw you posted in the ER and got some help with your hen. Hopefully, you'll have her good as new before the primary Chicken Wrangler gets home. :)
