    My Polish Pullet falls asleep ALOT. Like on the ramp to the coop...

    Evening all. I am not sure if this is a breed thing but had to post to get some input. I have a Polish Pullet, 17 weeks old, who falls asleep standing up all the time. Month ago I was concerned and kept thinking she was sick or some such thing. Apparently this is her thing. I throw a...

    Separating out the Mr and Mrs Silkie good idea?

    Out of the 24 chickens we started with, I have managed to whittle the flock down to 15. Most of those were Roosters that had to go and a pullet that just couldn't get along. The coop and run was only really built for 12 (yes I went overboard) so bought the cheap coop from AHappyChick and am...

    Blue Andalusian thought was a pullet, now confused...

    Blueberry was sold as a pullet from the feed store. Had no doubt until the other roo's starting with those long feathers by their tails and I noticed she seems to have them too. So someone with BA experience taking a look would be greatly appreciated. She is 9 weeks old. Thanks, Tracy

    Looking for confirmation all Mille D'Uccle Roos, Please

    I bought these straight run from MPC and had hoped for at least 1 hen but think they are all 3 roo's. Know for sure the one with the highest comb is FOR SURE cause he was my first crower. The other 2 have slightly smaller combs but I think they are too. I just want to have confirmation before...

    This is very frustrating, cocci ? What to expect next?

    I posted the other day about finding bloody stools monday morning. I had sulmet and started using it in the water and feeding a yogurt/oatmeal mash twice a day. I have 23 6 to 10 week olds. No bloody poos yesterday and still no one acting like the symptoms I've read... no droopy, tired...

    My homemade vinegar is 2 weeks old and it's stinking...is that right?

    Put together my own homemade vinegar using the recollections of a friend and some internet research. Used a quart jar, filled 1/4 Braggs raw vinegar and filled to the top with filtered water. I added raspberries as my sugar and for flavor. SO I have a mother that has formed. But I also have...

    ??? Pro and con medicated start/grow vs med game starter ?mix them?

    Okay I folded to peer pressure. Someone that I trust to know about chickens, suggested that instead of running back to change out the accidentally purchased Purina Game Medicated Starter 50 lb bag, just mix it with the Purina Medicated Start/Grow (Chick) 50 lb bag. I did it. I've been...

    Is diahrea ever just, well, a bad day?

    Do chickens ever just have a bad meal? Does every squirt have to signal SOMETHING?

    eye injury? on 6 week old appenzeller pics

    Thanks to you all I think I knew what to do. So let me run past you what I did and see if there is something I missed. I went down for my noon visit with the girls and noticed that one of my Appenzellers had some blood on her 'shoulder' feathers. Luckily she's the more white one and it was...

    Questions on silkies, how fragile if at all are they?

    I put the rest of the babies that came together, EE's, RIR, Australorps out last week at 4 1/2 weeks b/c they were feathered and it was consistent warm... But I kept the same age silkies in because they just looked so fragile. They were also smaller and I was just worried that it wasn't warm...

    Newbie off the wall questions...

    It's been so warm here that I moved almost everyone ( total 14, 6 6-weekers. 8 4-weekers) into the new coop/run. It's super secure and I know very waterproof. It's about to thunderstorm... do I need to load them all into the coop, they are in the attached static secure topped run. Will they...

    First set of chickens (ever) in brand new coop, we finished it structurally this past weekend. Every time I look at it I feel like I should re enforce something else. Is it normal to be this nervous.... could I have post partum chickie depression? I know it's time to cut the strings so to...

    Thinking the feed store mixed up the chicks... Posted PICS

    Do Golden Laced Wyandottes ever have dark legs? And a beard? I am supposed to have two, but thinking there might have been a mix up with the Easter Eggers. I noticed that as day old chicks there were similar feathers. Will post a pict tomorrow but have been wondering about this all day.

    When is it time to meet and greet?

    I've got 3 separate brooders going here. 1 has 6 20 dayers in it, the other 2 have 6 each 5 dayers in them. Wow that is confusing. Anyway, should I wait and introduce them in the coop/run or should I mix them up each day they are in the house? I've never had chickens before and am not sure...

    Can I put 18 day olds out for a few hours in the sun?

    Was getting ready to disenfect the brooder bin and thought wonder if I can put the chickies out in the sun on the grass for a while. They are 18 days, I've given freely chick grit b/c I've given treats (lettuce and cheerios) and wanted them to have that in their systems. They would be in a...
