    Hello All, I'm trying to find someone or someplace that sells chicks in the Austin area, outside of the typical production varieties; not necessarily rare, but since I own chickens for their companionship and beauty, I like having interesting breeds and am not interested in their egg laying...

    Austin east-siders

    Hey all, I am currently Living in Austin Texas, and have been raising my flock of chickens for seven months. It all started with an after school 4H animal science project. Right away, I was hooked and had to have my own wonderful and funny flock. Since having moved to the east side of Austin...

    Little Orley won't stop crying!!

    Just a note: I already know that there is something going through my flock. Actually, we are combating a few ailments at the moment, so they're having a rough go of it. They had scaly leg, which is finally getting under control. They have favus, which I've been treating for over a month, but...

    Black Minorca Rooster

    Beautiful black minorca rooster needs a good home. 5 months old. He is healthy, and has recently been de-wormed with Wazine. He is a school rooster, having been hand-raised by myself and my 4-H students. He has, however, not had much human interaction since May due to school being out...

    Panting (definitely not associated with heat) won't go away!

    Does anyone know why chickens would pant regularly and intermittently, but not when it is heat related? The panting usually sounds of heavy breathing, but sometimes there is wheezing, slight rattling, and rasping. Their clucks sound to me like they have congestion and/or irritation in their...

    Hen overheating question

    My 2 month old Ameraucana, "L'il Orley", loves, loves, loves to be cuddled and held. The problem is that insists on being snuggled, even she panting like crazy from being too hot. She'll be sitting on my lap and with wriggle herself under my armpit and nip me until I hold her against me, but she...

    normal cockerel behavior?

    My 2 month old Ameraucana cockerel keep stepping on the backs of the pullets (they're all the same age, so the girls are not even close to being ready for laying), in a manner that seems as though he's trying to mate with them. This is the second flock that I've raised from chicks and I've never...

    Is she sick???

    Please, please advise!!! I noticed a few days ago that some of my month old chicks have started sneezing. Today, one of my Ameraucanas has been begging me whenever I'm around to be held... she peeps and flies up to perch on my shoulder and arms, and tries to get under my hair or my hand...

    Too old to be tamed?

    I have two chicks that were already 17 days old when my boyfriend and I them. They have been with us for only four days, but their behavior (anxiety from human presence and crying loudly/completely freaking out with being touched or picked up) worries me. The younger chicks in the group have...

    Mixed age chicks?

    I just bought some chicks (ameraucana, brahma, barred rock, australorp) and will be buying a couple more. My current chicks are a week old and the ones I'm buying tomorrow (faverolle, langshan, maran) are three weeks old. Can I mix them in with the youngsters or should I keep them separate for a...
