    Sick or malnourished Pekin? (Pictures)

    They get fresh water daily and I will see about the vitamins, ect. I feed them a mix of flock feed- 16% protein I believe, 6-way, Brewer yeast, diatomaceous earth, and oats. They forage, too. I've fried to get them to eat leafy greens- romane, kale, shredded broccoli with no luck. They are...

    Faverolles Thread

    I have a replacement order coming from ideal. I think, to be honest, their stock/quality is quite pathetic. I received my order of 11 chicks. All supposed to be Pullets. I had to put one of my GlWs down immediately upon arrival for a severe case of crossbeak. I noticed it the second I opened the...

    THEY HAVE SHIPPED!

    That's what I do with mine. I have to keep an eye on my older hens. They pick in the smaller ones- and they are buffs! Their gentleness and calmness goes away when the know the younger ones get my attention. Silly birds.

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    I posted in the illness forum, but wanted to see if you all have any ideas. Yesterday was a hot day here in Georgia. I am chicken-sitting for my best friend today. We started out flocks together this spring and I have given her two of my 10 24 week old Buff Orpingtons. I believe all of mine...

    I am chicken-sitting for my best friend today. We started out flocks together this spring and I have given her two of my 10 24 week old Buff Orpingtons. I believe all of mine are laying. One of hers started laying about 6 weeks ago and the bigger one, T-Rex, hasn't started yet. She got home...
