    Raising Chicks in the summer.

    I got some chicks about two weeks ago and it was hot outside so I kept them inside but not in the AC. They did fine. I have them outside now in a brooder that is in the shade. I brought them in using a pet carrier when we had some above 100 days. I was worried it was too hot. I do have a...

    Will this work for breeding cage?

    Looks nice. It would work for that many poultry. I would put wire down on the bottom though so predators cannot dig under.

    Help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I would take the thai out for a while and try again later. Might end up being too aggressive for the rest of your flock. If possible you could put him in a cage where they can all see each other but not reach each other.

    Hole in neck skin. Need advice on how to treat

    If it was me, but I am no expert...I would clean and coat with antibiotic ointment a couple times a day. My hen had a pretty good head injury from a coon and she healed nicely. Unless it is a major vein it shouldn't bleed out. Might want to keep her from roaming and getting dirt in the wound...

    Weird Chicken Death?!?!

    I think a coon would have killed it. If they are not inside locked up something will eventually eat them at night..it is heartbreaking when it happens. A coon and many other critters can easily scale a fence.

    Salt VS/ Sodium - What's the difference?

    Sodium is one of the elements that make up salt. Salt is sodium chloride. Some people use that no salt which is potassium chloride but I think it is bitter. I really like Cavenders greek seasoning on almost anything. Not sure if it is available everywhere. One way to cut down on salt is to...

    Garage Chickens...Who does this??

    I think most people have a separate outside coop. However, I think people either way is "normal". People do what they gotta do. I think that with the increase in urban chickens the rules and norms are not the same as they were 10 yrs ago. If I had a double garage I would consider it mostly...

    Wont go back into coop!!

    I had to retrain mine after keeping them in the garage a couple of nights after a coon attack. I physically had to carry them out there after they tried to roost on the patio table. After 4 days they were back in the swing of it.

    Weird Chicken Death?!?!

    I have had some coon deaths and they seem to eat the head first but never have taken it up in a tree. I would have to go with some type of cat or owl. What about a possum? They might try to eat a younger hen and go up in trees. Are your hens locked up at night?

    HELP HELP HELP She just won't go to sleep

    Sometimes children have to learn to put themselves to sleep. She could be over irritable because she is exhausted. I went through the bedtime routine when my kids were young. It would take hours! Finally decided to leave them in the room and cry. I would check on them but not pick them up...
