    New coop- painted floors? Yea or nay?

    YES....paint it!! So much easier for cleanup. Chickens are MESSY!! Gloss/semi gloss. Light colors help make it easy to see mite infestations down the road too.

    Svart Hona breeders- quick questions!

    Calling All Svart Hona Breeders and Advocates!

    I Am Looking For A Surgeon To Decrow My Rooster

    Yes---it is so easy for people to say...just rehome him. Umm..do you chicken folks realize how many roos are trying to be rehomed? I guess not. Many, many, MANY roos are butchered...or just plain killed...not even eaten due to them being a roo....because nobody wants them or can even have...

    I Am Looking For A Surgeon To Decrow My Rooster

    I am with the OP on this one. There is no money in it is why vets don't do it...I would think. Who is going to pay $300 to decrow a roo they paid $5 for as a chick? Not many. I have 2 roosters...rarer types...Svart Hona and Serama---and have fairly close neighbors. I AM allowed to have...

    Vitamin deficiencies can cause 'mystery' illnesses...and death----in chicks AND older birds. I went to tsc to buy feed YESTERDAY 4-23-18.......and the bag on top was dated 09/12/16. I kid you not!!! They said they regularly keep feed for one YEAR past the manufacture date. Although this...

    Marek's Disease...?!

    Beats the heck outta me. I know some that carry it---can become sick during stressful situations. ...but otherwise are happily spreading it everywhere.

    Marek's Disease...?!

    Research all you can is all I can say. I had a 'closed flock', like a dummy--I got 4 new birds...and while on week SIX of quarantine...lost 2, have one sick now. So--now--the virus is ON my property...if it wasn't already. It blows in on the wind, comes in on shoes, clothes, hair... Are my...
