    Yard treatments

    I'm not sure if this is the best place to put this so tell me where to repost if necessary...but in October, there is going to be a wedding in my backyard. We were planning on fertilizing and planting grass seed to get the grass to look a little bit better and to get rid of weeds before the...

    New meaties have respiratory issue

    I just got my meaties today, 40 of them. They are about 4 days old but I got them today. I just went down and checked on them and a few are wheezy and sneezed a few times. They are only wheezing every once in a while, not with every breath yet but does anyone have any idea what to do?

    Constipation? Am I crazy? (yes, I am but for other reasons...)

    So I've had a RIR (about 7 months; laying for a while quite regularly) who has been in the nest box for 3 days...I've been checking on her to see if she's broody, sick, egg bound, etc. When I went up to her (a few times each day for the past 3), she puffed up and "growled" at me. She let me...

    Supposed to be a barred rock...

    Feeding almost layers and older babies

    I have 9 "almost" layers (expecting some eggs within the next week or two) and 7 "babies" (layers too) that are 4 weeks behind the older layers. I need to buy more feed (which lasts about 3 weeks with this flock). Currently I buy Purina Flock Raiser (20% protein) but I wanted to switch to a...

    Leghorn, Cornish X or something else?

    I have 2 "leghorns" that I got from TSC. They are about 6 weeks old and considerably larger than the RIRs and Black Australorps I got at the same time. Someone told me they look like Cornish Xs and that I should be getting ready to get them processed. I would be so sad to do that as I was...

    2 Week Old Baby is Sick!

    I am very new to this whole chicken thing so I'm hoping you guys can help me. I have a 2 week old baby that is lethargic, tucking her head under her neck and won't walk. When she does try to walk, she stumbles and almost acts drunk. I've separated her in a crate inside the larger brooder so...
