I had some chick's with a seemingly resistant strain of coccidiosis. After 3 rounds of corid they were still ill. I ordered endo-cox powder and gave it at 1 tsp per gallon of water. I was worried I had cross contaminated my entire flock, so I treated my 1 and 2 year old gals as well. I then...
I purchased the GFM and turned off ads in my preferences. Its been fine for a while, but all of a sudden I'm getting pop up ads in the right corner of the page, as well as a search bar along the left of the page. ANNOYING me to bits!!!! How do I make this stop???
*fingers crossed* I built a cooler-incubator with my kids and it has been set up for 48 hours now, maintaining temperature nicely. :) Still have to get a hygrometer (I think thats what the humidity reader thingy is called...?) Eggs-cited to get the eggs from the two 24 hr auctions on here, and...
We have an EE hen and a barnyard mix roo who are the same size as our smallest hen in the main coop. We've had them in an adjacent pen so they have seen/gotten to know each other (in fact, they were in an adjacent pen from the time they were out of the brooder). The younger hen/roo we want to...
I have 3 chicks (two roos, one hen) that are tiny compared to any of my other chicks the same age. I bought them all on the same day, and all are within a day or two of each other according to the seller. However, I have one red hen, and two mixbreed roos that are staying tiny. The two roos are...
We lost a number of our chicks a couple nights ago, and my youngest son is inconsolable because his black cochin bantam is gone. His birthday is Friday and I'm trying to find a place I can order from immediately. I HAVE to get him a chick by his birthday (he is autistic, and doesn't understand...
These two little chicks were solid yellow to begin with, and what I believe is the hen has stayed a fairly yellow color overall. The little one I think is a roo has developed some lovely coloring on him.(Pics aren't the best, but hopefully someone will recognize them!)
This is the one I believe...
These are my chickens and chicks. Two grown hens, one grow rooster, and the jury's still out on the 11 chicks (though I think at least several are roos.)
Gramps and Crazy B****... She's the last of the original set of chicks we got. And she is crazy but a darn good layer! (anyone know what breed...
We currently have two hens. One lays an egg a day like clockwork. The other one lays one every 2-3 days. We feed them a 3 way scratch and a layer crumble. They also get greens and fruits/veggies. When I use the eggs I rinse the shells and crumble them up and strew them in the pen as well (was...
I have 11 chicks, ranging in size from barely smaller than my full grown hens already in the coop, to just about the size of my two fists together. I'm trying to figure out when it is safe to put them in with the rest of the flock. We have two hens and a rooster in the main coop already, and...

1 package stuffing crumbs

Place cubed chicken breasts in bottom of your cassarole pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then top with half the cheese...
We had a problem with racoons getting our hens and then a bobcat got 6 in one night. I started trying to come up with a way to keep the chickens safer without spending a fortune, and made my own repellant that has been working for the last six months. We grow a lot of habanero and jalapeno and...
I'm Cyndi, from a small town in Central Florida. I was raised on a farm in SC, and have always had chickens. My family got started with chickens about a year and a half ago and have been enjoying them since. We built our own coop and made it a big family project (hubby, me, two kiddos) and got a...
