Can anyone help me locate the rules and regulations for having chickens in Murray, UT? I can find almost every Salt Lake County city, but Murray. This is checking this website and the city page directly. Any help would be appreciated. We are moving to Salt Lake County and I need to be sure I...
This will be my first winter with my chickens and I am concerned about keeping them warm. I did install a flat 2x4 for their roost, sealed any gaps for drafts and have a large overhead opening for ventilation. My concern is I only have four chickens and their coop is very large so I can't expect...
I have a Sultan cockerel for sale. He is a nice boy and has been hand raised since a chick. He needs a home because I ended up with to many roosters and will not be able to have them in Salt Lake County. All I ask is he goes go to a good home and will be well taken care of. Willing to meet...
I know this may sound weird and a little out there, but I always find BYC is the place to ask when it comes to chickens. Four days ago my 20 week old pullet was attacked by a dog in my backyard. Agnus was completely in shock and her comb and wattles turned a purple gray. I rushed her into town...
I just got four new chicks a while back and I am stumped on sexing any breed of chicken. He/She is 11 weeks old. I do not have another Sultan to compare it to. I hope the pictures I was able to get will suffice. Thanks again BYC.
Today I picked up my order of Nutrena Nature Wise Layer Pellets from my local feed store and when I opened it it was more dust then Pellets and full of bugs. I am assuming they give me a very old bag of feed, but I am unsure how to read the tag.
This spring I got three Naked Neck chicks. As they have been growing I have had the toughest time telling their sex. It seems to me that hens of this breed have fairly decent size combs and waddles. Burt the first photo is the only one I am sure of, he has been crowing for well over two months...
I am a new chicken keeper and any advice would be so helpful. My girls are getting close to laying age and I was wondering how I encourage them to lay in the nest boxes. They run around my yard all day long and have nothing to do with their coop until it is time to return and roost. I have got...
I have three Naked Neck Turken chicks that are 31 days old. Two of them have a significant amount more feathers in then the other one. Is it normal for some to feather faster then the others or should I be concerned?
Fortunaltely for me the home I am in came with a garden shed converted to a chicken coop. It made it that much easier for my husband to allow me to get my first 4 chicks. Before they are ready to go outside I have been cleaning and fixing up the place, but I am concerned about disinfecting it...
