    Splayed or Twisted Tendons. Little Red Broken Baby

    I just wanted to post a few pics with our experience with Little Red Broken Baby. We call her Libby and she is a Rhode Island Red. When I picked her out of the brooder, there were so many chicks, I didn't realize she was stumbling around until I got her home. It was too late. I couldn't take...

    Ten chicks from MPC. Only one survived.

    We call her Miracle, one of my two Plymouth Barred Rocks. She's starting to perk up a bit. Had some yogurt and drank some water. Pecked at some feed. Loves the Boxer (although not without me sitting very close by.) They said they will replace the ones that died, but since she didn't die...

    Prolapsed vent.

    Hi Chicken Peoples! I haven't been to the forum in awhile. My girls are now a year old and for the months before they came and until they were gangly tweens, I pretty much devoured these pages and thank everyone for all their stories, insights, and knowledge. I couldn't have done it without...

    The inhabitation of the Coopalita!

    Finally got those girls out of the horse trough. It was high time! I know we'll need to build something larger for the eight girls if I end up keeping all of them through winter. We had plans for the bigger, better and insulated coop before we got the girls but thought then, that we would be...

    Young rooster behavior?

    I have an 8 week old SLW that I'm still questioning whether I have a roo or a hen. Is there any way to tell by the behavior with the ones I'm pretty positive are girls? For instance, would a rooster back down from one of the girls that seems like she is the top hen? My BO chases the Wyandotte...

    Silver Laced Wyandotte at 5weeks. Too soon to tell?

    This is Roobie, so named because from the day we met (she was two days old) she has been standing taller, eating faster, flapping the hardest and giving us the stinkeye every chance she gets. Would love to change her spelling to just plain ol' Ruby and know that I'm dealing with a rowdy girl...

    Movin' up!

    I've had the girls in what I thought was a pretty good sized brooder box for the last 2 weeks, but have been pretty nervous for the last couple of days that they were outgrowing it way too fast. I had NO idea, despite the many pictures I've perused on here, that those little fluff balls would...

    My Girls at 5 days old.

    Sweet daughter put this together for me. My problem is I take WAY too many pictures and never know which ones to post, so she decided for me. Thinking maybe I should put some on the "My Page"?? Roobie: Silver Laced Wyandotte (Bright, alert, aggressive...almost scary. But she's warming up...

    They're Here!

    My 9 chicks arrived today from back East. MPC shipped them on Monday, I got the call from the post office by 1pm. I was so excited. Thought I had another day but am so relieved that they came so soon. I was surprised that there wasn't a heat pack in the box, even though it's warm back there...

    A Late Intro from Oregon's Willamette Valley

    Whoops, I've been reading on here for over a year getting ready for my girls and never stumbled on this thread? (I go straight for the coops and baby chick threads I think.) (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? My girls are being shipped in THREE...

    Standards and Bantams arriving next week!

    Hi! I've been reading your forums for awhile now, and my long-awaited chicks will be here next week! We thought we would be in our new home on our property in the country by this time but this economy set us back a bit. Hopefully by the fall, we will be able to build that dream coop I made...
