    Excessive Head Shaking

    How did it go? Did you find a resolve for your rooster? Did you do the oil treatment? I have the same problem going on. Definitely frostbite on his comb, but he has been doing this since before that happened.

    Rooster shaking his head. whats wrong?

    I know that this is a very old post, but did you ever find an answer? I have this problem. I have a dozen birds and one, roo, shaking his head frequently. I think I am going to try oil in his ears tonight and again in three days. If that doesn't work I guess I will medicate the flock. Ugh.

    27 Week Old Pullets Not Laying

    27 Week Old Pullets Not Laying

    I have 10 pullets that are all 27 weeks old. They came from a hatchery and haven't laid one egg! They are all different breeds, including cochins, wyandottes, brahmas, and orpingtons. I understand that we have shorter days now, but does that mean we won't get ANY eggs this winter? I don't...

    help me choose my bedding!!!!

    Hey Central NY- I have a question for you. I had an idea to eliminate the muddy bedding around my waterer. I started the chicks out on chicken nipples which completely eliminates anything getting in their water but still makes bedding muddy under it. So, for the coop I am going to hang a five...

    White Jersey Giant Chickens

    We had to get some of the breeds we wanted straight run, and we literally got a 50/50 split on those! Starting NEXT year we want to free range a lot, so we are going to keep whichever roosters "get along". For the rest I am going to try and find new homes for our children's sakes, they are very...

    White Jersey Giant Chickens

    Yes we ordered eighteen from McMurray! We lost two in the first few days, and now have 10 pullets and SIX cockerels! UGH! I am pretty sure our Jersey is a pullet though. They are eight weeks old. I took that of her several weeks ago. Several peeps on here helped me decide what she was!
