Hello all! I recently noticed my hen had a very bad lice infestation (just her not the other one???) so I've been dusting with permethrin, wood ash, DE and bathing her with dawn, tea tree oil and sevin liquid to get the ones the dust failed to and also the eggs seemed stuck on her feathers. I've...

I just got this hen yesterday and she is the cutest thing but I can't figure out what she is. She has almost all the features of a bantam Japanese but she has heavily feathered feet and different coloring around her neck/head. I have no idea how old she is either but she is about 1/3 the size of...

Does anyone know where I can get good turken chicks possibly without shipping from another state? I saw an ad on Craigslist that hatchbawks may have them but looked online and found they may be selling very sick birds. I'm not looking for any right now but I would like them to come from a good...

I have talked with employees at my local feed store and the more I learn here, the more I think they are useless! I asked about worming meds and they only recommended wazine before I found it only works on roundworms so I went back today and again they said get wazine. I told them I needed...

Hello everyone! I'm so glad I found one of the forums specifically for deformed beaks and read every single post from there which was incredibly helpful now that I just rescued a silkie with a crossed beak! She and my other rescue (Beverly) who has a cauterized beak are getting along quite well...

Hello everyone! I'm extremely new to chickens (I have one small Rhode Island Red mix I'm told) and want to get a few more but I would like for them to have a few specific qualities and I didn't know how else to sort through all the amazing breeds of chickens other than to come here and ask :) I...

I recently got a formerly abused (by her flock) hen that also has a cauterized top beak so she can't defend herself if she wanted to. I do feel that she is getting bored/lonely out there by herself even though I let her free range at least an hour a day and spend as much time as I can with her...

Good morning all! I've been lurking around for a while trying to learn as much as I can about chickens and this site has been so helpful! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's a little crazy about chickens and want to make "chicken toys"! I took some of the ideas and made them because I...
