    I noticed today my 3 year old silkie has terrible diarrhea. Her backside had poop caked on a hanging from her feathers. The poop is green and watery. She is eating fine but is walking a little slower than normal. What could it be?

    Sick Baby Chick

    I just looked in on my 3 week old babies and my Mille de Fleur is doing this strange neck twisting thing. She seems very disoriented. I seperated her and am giving her water with a dropper. What could cause this and what else can I do for her? I checked on her earlier this evening and she...

    Help! I need to rehome my roosters - Nevada

    I have two roosters that I purchased from Green's as an Americauna and Cochin that I need to find a home for. I'd like them to not be eaten or used for fighting as these were raised as pets (they were supposed to be pullets). Anyone interested in adopting these two? The Americauna is really...

    Anyone need a rooster in Reno, NV?

    I have a gorgeous rooster that I need to find a home for. He would be a great flock leader. I bought him from a feed store back in April as an Americauna. He is also really sweet and likes to be snuggled. He is great with kids too.

For temporary housing we have wrapped the bottom of our kids trampoline with hardware cloth and also included an apron to deter digging. We raised a dogloo on blocks and built a...

    Agressive pecking between two chicks

    I have a 5 week Cucko Marans and a 5 week Buff Cochin that have been really going at it lately. The Marans seems to be the dominate bird in the flock as she routinely runs everyone over, even my 6 week old birds. But she generally will not peck anyone unprovoked. The Cochin, however...

    Keeping coyotes out of my yard

    I'm new to keeping chickens and will be receiving mine soon. In the meantime I'm beginning the preperations. I live on a 1/2 acre, fully fenced lot. My yard has a six foot redwood fence. My concern is that there is a coyote den not far from my house and the other side of my yard is desert...

    Hi, I'm new here and should be receiving my first batch of chicks (5 cuties) sometime next week. I am so excited! I was raised on a chicken farm (fryers) as a child but haven't been around chickens since I was about 11. I am really looking forward to this experience as are my children. Sadly...
