    Infectious Bronchitis two summers ago...need advice

    After having a wonderful flock for 5 years, I made a stupid mistake and bought some chickens off CL. The problem was, my parents picked them up for me and when they got here, two were clearly sick. They had been in a box with the others of a different variety, who did not look sick. So those...

    Pullets with snotty nose

    My folks picked up some pullets for me yesterday and two are sneezing and have clear drops from their nose. I put them under heat lamp, as they were all hunched up like they were uncomfortable, and they seem somewhat better. I have never dealt with anything like this before, so I wondered if...

    Combatting mud

    Although my coop is on wheels, I will not be able to move it for awhile and right now I have soupy cold mud that stinks. The dust bowl under the coop is full of melted snow and the smell is unbelievable! Would you recommend just dumping mulch in the pen until it's dry enough to re-locate...

    Beautiful Pure Black Ameracauna Rooster, Central IN

    He's a beauty and 8 mos. old. Just starting to crow. I'll try to get a picture of him today. Black legs, pea comb. So black he shines green. A little skittish, but not mean. I raised him from one week old, but ended up with two, so one has to go. I got him from a breeder who told me they...

    Is it possible to sway a hen to broodiness??

    We have a little banty hen who tries to go broody periodically, but we've never let her sit. I've finally found the eggs I want to hatch...they'll be sent from OH to IN. Do you think I can get her broody by shutting her up in a nesting box (obviously humanely with food/water, time out, etc.)...

    Raised leg scales

    Our banty rooster has raised scales on his feet and always walks on his tip toes. No one else has any scale problems and this seems to have been going on with him for a long time. No changes. Isn't there some pest that does that? Why wouldn't anyone else have it? What can we try? His...

    Downsizing in Central IN

    Hi all--still trying to downsize a little in Central Indiana. I have 6 RIR hens, healthy, clean, laying 2.5 yr. old hens and a nice barred rock rooster 1.5 yr. old. He's getting beaten up by the banty rooster, so I'd like him to get his own place. Those little banties are such bullies!! This...

    Starter flock available in Central Indiana

    I would like to downsize before winter--I have a lovely Barred Rock roo, 1.5 years old and nice, and some RIR hens that are 2.5 years old, lay well. All are healthy and clean. We sized our flock based on sharing with a family with six kids and they have moved away, so we have too many for our...
