    One chick walking around with its head hanging down

    I realize it isn't. But, it looks as though the little guy has a broken neck. That is the only thing I can compare what it looks like. My wife seems to think it hasn't been eating? This is my first flock, and I really don't want the little thing to die, if I can help it. Please advise,

    Newcastle Vaccine Frequency Question

    I have 61 chicks. They are 17 days old now. We vaccinated them on the 4th of this month. The farm supply company insisted that they had vaccinated them as well, upon the birds arriving on the 25th of March. The vaccine we used was kept cold, and once mixed was to be used within two...

    Newbie: First chicken accommodations - solar cooling included.

    The auto (gravity fed) water system still has to be built. I also have another 12vdc fan I can add. But, that single fan moves quite a bit of air across the front of the house. All input, suggestions, criticism welcomed.

    The start of our new flock.

    Some time back, I posted that we had lost an entire flock of birds, 30, or maybe a few more. They had contracted a disease from one of the birds that had free ranged all the way to a neighbor's chickens, that were apparently infected with the same disease. Fast forward to trying to find new...

    Lights: Only for cold climates?

    Charcoal in place of "wood ash"?

    I was looking through the "brooders" members have built and posted on the site. We will have to build one very soon here. I have permission from my landlord. I have found a carpenter to do the work. (Trust me, you don't want me building your brooder - or anything else that requires hand / power...

    All this is driving me crazy! Where can I find...

    Where can I find definitions of things like pullet, vent, comb, etc.? I have no idea what a lot of these terms mean. There are plenty of others. That is just a start. Thanks for any assistance

    Hello All, My name is Paul. My wife is Chan. We have a small farm in rural Cambodia, where we raise chickens, ducks, cows, and crops. Our staff include family, some dogs, and a cat. I have already posted one thread here, which has been very fruitful in helping educate me regarding keeping...

    New to chickens, most died. Input, please?

    Hi all, First, I am an American who lives in Cambodia. My wife has a small farm about 30 km outside town. Until fairly recently, within the past 30 days I would say, we had ducks, chickens, cows, dogs, cats, and grew rice. Since then, the chickens died - well, most of them anyway. I have been...
