    Separating dogs/Moving

    Hey y'all! I'm moving in a few weeks and taking my almost 2 year old American Bulldog, Boots. Boots has been raised as an outdoor dog with my dad's (now 3 year old) Blue Heeler, Steele. I'm concerned about separating them. I'm afraid Boots or Steele will be sad. Dad is planning to get 2...

    HELP! CAN CHICKS GET TOO HOT?

    I've got seven brand new babies in a box under a heat lamp in the kitchen. They have already found the water and been drinking and eating some. But it looks like 2 of them are panting. Their little mouths are open and they seen to be breathing faster than the others. Could it be too hot in...

    Taking chicks from Momma GOT PICS!!

    Our turkey has been sitting on eggs for 2 months or more. She hatched one guinea which we promptly removed. Later, we removed the "dead eggs" and replaced them with chicken eggs (some from the refrigerator) and she's been sitting on them. Today, we got home to find SEVEN babies with her...

    I've got a Guinkey! hee hee

    WHAT BREED IARE THESE TWO?

    BlueBelle is one of our hens. She has the sweetest temperament and lays very large medium-brown eggs. Dad has decoded that she's a (I think) New Hampshire Red, but he's full of thoughts about things that are usually wrong, especially when it comes to my chickens. Here she is. She is such a...

    WHAT IS MY TURKEY?

    We have had our turkey, Snowbird, since May. We were told it was a month old already. We are pretty sure we have a female, but "she" did puff up and spread tail feathers when attacked by the roosters a couple months ago. I'm attempting to attach a pic but not sure if it will take. Also...

    RETRAIN EGG LAYING?

    HI EVERYONE! I've got a small, issue with my EE Eagle. She's chosen a spot outside of the yard to lay her eggs. Yesterday, being home, I watched her. She and her boyfriend (he he) Goldie, wandered around the front yard. She disappeared and Goldie paced around a while. I quietly went out...

    BLACK SPOTS ON CROWN

    We are now down to 9 chickens (11 roos in the freezer). We kept 3 roos because . . . Well, I guess I'm just crazy. The one I defended attacked ds and my father afterward hee hee. I notice some black spots on his crown. I can't really get too close because he's a little scary. I see a little...

    HOW MUCH???

    My girls have begun laying in earnest. We (ds and I) have now 4 dozen chicken and 2 dozen duck eggs to "get rid of". I've begged my students and everone I see for empty egg cartons, but that is slow going, while the eggs are not. We get 5 a day, which may not sound like a lot to most, but for...

    MY POOR DOG HAS A COUGH.

    My 1 y/o American Bull has suddenly come up with a terrible sounding and looking cough. He's a strictly outdoor pooch with one bud (our 2 y/o Blue Heeler) outside with him. We have to keep them both chained on a trolley because they have been getting to the chickens and the elder one chases...

    MYSTERY DEATH

    A couple days ago, I went out in the AM to check the "kids" and found Brownie my largest male Americana (EE) dead on the ground. We took him into the shed for light as it was before sunup and chacked him out. There was NO sign of anything except deadness. We are quite primitive here with...

    PLEASE HELP! DOGS ATTACKING

    I need a way to break my dogs from chickennapping. Please help! My dogs (supposedly American Bull, but . . .) and Austrailian Cattle Dog (or Blue Heeler) have been "playing" with our chickens. First, we found our lovely, possibly male young turkey gutted. Though it was an outside predator so...

    Goldie got caught in the fence

    Since we have so darned many roos and Dad, who said he'd start culling them when he was in town this week didn't start anything, we've still got too many and they are SOOO aggressive. They are mounting everything! The young ones, the guineas, the poor ducks! They are also attacking one...

    ON OUR OWN

    Dad and I got spring chicks that have grown up to be mostly roos. Aggresive and scary roos. They mount everything, the few hens, the younger chicks, the guineas, even the ducks! When we got them originally, dad had brought home a "shed" of sorts. It had been a clothing drop box for a charity...

    How can I tell hens from roos?

    I got 7 EE from the feed store in late April. They are all so very gorgeous and most of them have grown VERY rapidly. A couple are as big as our BA roos that are 6 weeks older and wuite large. Those with some sort of comb vary in color from light pink to bright pink/almost red. Their combs...

    SOOO many roos

    In March, we got 21 chicks (down to 20 now) from the local feed store. I knew that 2 of "Easter Chicks" were male about 2 1/2 months or more ago. However, one of the others is now proving not only to be male, but almost scarily so. Yesterday, I brought a bag of spinach to give the "kids" and...

    Why won't chickens go in?

    Hey everyone! I'm still relatively new to this and have a question. We have close to 30 chickens, 3 ducks, 5 guineas, and 2 turkeys. 20 of the chickens are about the same age and have lived together the whole time (since Mar) in the same coop. I had 2 "coops" that are realtively small but...

    Not chicken related, but I MISS MY SON!

    On June 29, I dropped my 10 y/o sone off in Ocala to spend the MONTH with his Dad in South Florida. He calls me almost every day and in the first week, he cried every time. Then last week, he only called 3 times and didn't cry at all. I have tried to be positive and tell him not to, but deep...

    need a name and new pics

    Here are my beautiful Araucanas. For some odd reason, I can't think of a name for this one. I don't know if it is a girl chicken or a boy chicken. Any ideas? This is my sticky chick. It got sticky in the sugar water the first day home. Scout was named because it was sstanding next to...

    LOSING A CHICKEN

    Still don't know if we have male or female chickens. They are about 10-12 weeks old now and one of them is is a very bad way. This morning, one of the "kids" had a snake. We tried in vain to discover what kind it was. Dad looked at a text message picture and decided it was likely a coral...
