Willing to drive 2 hours out from Dandridge. My herd slowly dwindled out and I don't think I can live without home eggs anymore. Want fairly docile, as I've a grandbaby that loves to collect eggs. Pullets please. Do NOT want a rooster, I will bring him back, promise. Looking for 3-4. Thanks for...

Anybody know if this is garden beneficial or should I keep washing them off?

So, while I was at the store, someone brought a rooster on my property and shut it in my chicken house. First off, disease. Second, I have two roosters. Third, all my chickens and roosters are full size, this was a bantam. Fourth, I've got 4-H chicks going out there in two weeks. Fifth, animal...

My daughter is doing 4H chicks this year and wondered what you feed them a month or two prior to show to make them healthy and glossy? I noticed diet and conditioning are the top two to pay attention to, so any suggestions, details on diet would be helpful. Thanks!:frow

I've had chickens for awhile, but my 10 yr old signed us up in 4H to show 4 Barred Rocks out of a batch of 15 provided by 4H. Anybody have tips on special care while they're growing and how to get them ready for the show? Do we need to have them in cages or will the show have display cages...

Due to unfortunate circumstance, I was late closing them up. I was missing one. I found him pulled through the outer fence, which is dog proof for daytime activity. I thought he was dead. My husband helped me pull him back through the fence once we noticed him breathing. We brought him inside...

We received two of these in a rare bird surprise package from Mcmurray hatchery. Any ideas what they are? 6 weeks old.

I'm puzzled and I think there's something I need to look for, but I'm not sure what. I've a BO rooster who has been sleeping on the top rung of the roost for 2 years now. Tonight, I went out and found him on top of the nest box with the 1-year old hens who hatched last year. He's the only...

I bought 5 (2-day old) ducklings at the co-op yesterday and one has not grown and is getting more and more lethargic. They have niacin in their water and chick starter, as well as a long plastic tub that has the heat lamp at one end so they can get away if they get hot. But one of them - I've...

I'm still not sure where to post this. It's showing I have unread subscriptions, but when I click on the Subscriptions link at the top right of the screen, it takes me to the place that usually lists my subscriptions so I can just start reading where I left off. Now it tells me I have 9...

I am currently being very vigilant after coming face-to-face with a skunk in my chicken house (no birds injured, lots of feed eaten). I'm not entirely sure this is a valid post, but not sure where to post it. The skunk I came so close to was solid black with a white spot on the back of its...

I never know what to say when I'm asked to stand up and introduce myself so I'm "borrowing" the sample list.... (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I received my first 11 chickens from My Pet Chickens in 2011 - 3 Buff Orpington roosters (two ended up in the freezer)...
