    Eek! Not liking this new neighbor.

    Quote: We recently had two hawks in ONE day sitting in the trees in our backyard. This is the first time we had seen any hawks near our yard. Thankfully our young neighbor boys took them both out. I didn't even know about it until they had done the deed.

    Hawk Attack... how to treat this wound?

    Quote: We had a dog attack once and my little bantam was bitten. Her wounds looked similar. If would clean them like a PP said and just watch. Keep his separate so non of the others can hurt him(although we didn't we didn't have a choice and no one bothered her). Our chicken's wounds healed up...

    Need help? in Lehigh Acres, FL (unincorporated Lee County, Florida)

    I would love to help..but as it is we live way out and don't really have any neighbors that I think would tell on us. So I don't want to draw attention to the fact that we have chickens. This whole thing makes me so angry. I looked on Leepa.org and most of Alva and Buckingham are zoned...

    Gape Worms - How to treat

    Thank you. I think I'll go with the safeguard liquid. She is so sick today that she wouldn't even eat a pea sized amount of that stuff, I'll have to squirt it down her throat. I'm afraid it's too late for her though. Anything I can do to help her make it?

    Gape Worms - How to treat

    I thought I saw somewhere on here that you can use safeguard equine paste(a pea size amount per bird). That is a lot cheaper. Also someone somewhere said Ivercare which is a ivermectin equine pasta also. This post said .005m per bird. How the heck much is that? Both of those are less than...

    Gape Worms - How to treat

    We have about 20 hens. One of them is gurgling and doing the mouth thing. Looks like she is trying to crow, only no crowing. I hate to lose her, she is just about laying age. We lost a rooster a couple months ago, he had similar symptoms and then just fell over dead one day. So I am pretty...

    My chicks are dying one by one

    Quote: They only guarantee for 48 hours. I think I only lost one in 48 hours, the others have been since. Quote: They are eating medicated chick starter. They are in plastic boxes with chicken wire over the top They are drinking water It's been different breeds. Of course all the good...

    My chicks are dying one by one

    They are a week old now. We've been losing almost one a day since like day 2. It's all the chicks from Meyers Hatchery. The chicks from Hodges Farms are all fine(same age). But I've lost one of my marans, a white rock and all of my GLW and SLW. I think a couple were due to pasty butt. I had...

    Hoop coop roofing?

    Quote: This is what we are trying to avoid. At $25 a pop tarps have proven a waste of time because in one night the racoons rip it to shreds. The only wind that would be an issue is a major hurricane, in which case we're all screwed anyway. We want to anchor in to the ground, so that should...

    Sorting out my Meyers order and some sexing ?? from my hodges order.

    Quote: I have the exact amount that I ordered. Only I don't seem to have 2 SLW and 2 GLW, just one of each. But 2 extra BA. I don't know what the two little black chicks are with the yellow legs, no feathering. If they aren't any kinda of marans, what would they have sent? If you sell...

    Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

    Quote: I didn't realize that. Good to know. Thanks! I'm glad they'll all be different, it's much more fun to tell them apart.

    Sorting out my Meyers order and some sexing ?? from my hodges order.

    Quote: I didn't understand that about the ameraucanas, that is good to know. I also have 6 wheaten, but they are easy to tell apart. lol I think I might have figured out why there are SO many black chicks. I was only supposed to get 6 BA, but there are definitely 8. When I was cleaning out...

    Hoop coop roofing?

    We might build another smaller(our current one is 9x16) hoop coop if we decide to keep all of our chicks. Last time we did a tarp roof, which we've had to replace 3 times(before we figured we needed to put it on after the cattle panel and before the other wire so the coons can't get to it) Large...

    Sorting out my Meyers order and some sexing ?? from my hodges order.

    Quote: Two of the chicks in the first pic have like no blue. The other actually does look quite blue, he/she is actually also in the second picture. The one out front with clean legs. I only ordered two cochins. The ameraucana chicks are supposed to be all blue. But I'm thinking hodges is a...

    Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

    Quote: I got the yellow and silver from meyers hatchery, the 3 I pictured are supposed to be blue laced red. I got them from Hodges Farms, I found them on here. But I have had a lot of problems with them(like I never even got an email that my chicks were ready to ship after 2 failed hatches)...
