    Ill chick? Advice appreciated

    I have a one week old Dorking chick which I received from McMurray. A few days (probably 3), she began breathing rapidly. That's the only symptom she is exhibiting. She is eating and drinking normally. She has had some pasty butt which I've been cleaning twice a day. I've separated her with...

    Weak Chick - help appreciated.

    I just received my order of fuzzy butts from McMurray yesterday morning. I dipped everyone's beak in water and got them all settled in. Everyone looked good last night when I checked on them. This morning I noticed one was very lethargic, keeping her eyes closed, not wanting to move, and when...

    Bowed tendon treatment?

    Went out to feed the horses this morning and the three boys showed up, but not my mare. Could hear her crying because they left her behind. High-tailed it over to where she was, and her left front foreleg was swollen from just below the knee down to the ankle. Slowly led her to the barn and...

    THEIVES!!!

    So I went out to give my girls some fresh, cool water,. Given how hot it is, I thought they could use the relief. As I headed out the door, I grabbed a piece of pizza. I'm out there filling up their water pans, when one of my EEs comes running over, jumps up, grabs the pizza practically out...

    N.Cal smoke causing egg reduction?

    I'm in that lovely area of California (okay, most of CA is this way right now) that is buried under a pall of smoke from all the wildfires. Not in any danger, other than the inhaled smoke particles (where's the coughing emocon?) Anyway, I've noticed that my hens are not laying as well as they...

    Look what my mom made me!

    My mom is an avid quilter (I'm trying to learn but don't have the time/patience it seems). She gave me this a few months ago, and I thought I would brag about it!

    What to do w/broody hen?

    One of my BO hens has gone broody (not an uncommon occurrence), and I'm thinking of sliding some chicks under her to see if she'll take them. She is currently in one of the nesting boxes which is about 18" off the floor. There is no ramp for them to get to the boxes, they just jump. So, here...

    Colic prevention for horse?

    Just got back from the barn and one of the horses had gotten in and ate about 1/3 bag of sweet cob, and maybe some senior feed (if so, not much). I'm not really sure how long he had been making a snack of it as I must have left the gate unlatched yesterday when I fed. My Sis-in-Law said she...

    Take a Look at these guys!(pic heavy)

    Hi Everyone, Seems that, like so many others, I have some extra roos that I would like to re-home. Three, as a matter of fact. They are all about one year old and nice enough. What that means is they have not attacked me (okay, Rocky did when he was coming of age, but a couple of shots with...

    Crookneck?

    I have two Welsummer chicks, about 5 weeks old. Had them out last night playing with them and they were fine; this morning fed and watered them-fine. Went out just a little while ago to check on them and one is behaving oddly. He is turning his head to the right, sometimes over his back like...

    Stoooopid Neighbors

    So, I'm over at our mobile home showing it to some prospective tenants and they leave and I'm heading back over to my house when I hear some odd noises over by our barn. I go walking over to check it out and what do I see? Five little girls (around 6-7 years old), a teenager and a guy petting...

    Bobcat info?

    Anyone know anything much about Bobcats? Mainly what I need to know is will they jump over fencing or dig under it? And is it normal for them to hunt in the daytime? I always thought they were more nocturnal hunters, but all disapperances have happened during the day. We've lost four hens...

    Are these eggs edible?

    A couple of my girls have just started laying, while most of the others have not. I have two dishes of food out - layer crumble and starter (medicated). I never really thought about it, but I saw someone mention something about how long do you have to wait for the medicated feed to be out of...

    Strawberries?

    So I was sitting outside yesterday with my girls - they don't get to free-range unless I'm out with them due to so many critters here that think they make tasty treats - and they're pecking/scratching around like they do and I'm reading my book, enjoying the garden, and watching them. I was...

    Any hope?

    I have 14 girls who are about 16 weeks old. I didn't really think they would start laying yet, so had not gotten around to placing the fake "eggs" into the nesting boxes. Last week I went out and sitting in the corner of the coop was a beautiful brown egg. Wanting to encourage whomever had...
