    Was it a hawk?

    So...after almost four years without a predator death (a little free range when we are home, shut into coop at night, out in fenced pen (no roof but some cover) during the day - something got my biggest Barred Rock hen; I went out about midday to find her dead in the pen, breast down, two places...

    Aaack....diarrhea!

    Well, we've been sailing along ok -everyone completely healthy - and the Wyandotte gals are now almost 5 months old. Within the past four days I have been noticing the occasional loose, brown stool (more like a cow patty than a chicken turd). We finally identified the bird that's having the...

    Just flocking around...

    Where does the time go? Seems like only yesterday I was posting and checking back every day or so looking for guidance in raising our first ever chicks - six Gold Lace Wyandottes, hatched the first week in April. This site has evidently been very good for me - I've been saying that all along -...

    Maybe a dumb question but here goes...

    Our Wyandottes are just about 5 weeks old and so far their progress has been uneventful. Since Wednesday they have been in their run and coop and free to go out during the day. They seem to be thriving. However I've seen two of them "yawn" for about one second, one time at me today. The...

    How about vintage photos?

    I'm not sure where to put the thread but I'd love to see some vintage photos. Here's my Mom with a feathered friend, c. 1928 near Middletown, Ohio.

    Mixing chicks - how to?

    Hmmmm.....That sounded like a weird subject title, didn't it? The question is ....I have 6 Wyandotte chicks that are a month old and doing well. And of course we'd like MORE. I would like to add a couple Buff Orps and a couple Barred Rocks - and if I can get them about the same age, what do I...

    Really chip thrills...

    Our chicks are almost 4 weeks old; this week we moved them out of the brooder and into their new coop and have been having a lot of fun introducing perches, assorted new things to eat like dandelion greens and blossoms, hay chaff, etc. But the most fun of all? Since our run isn't finished yet...

    Black Lace Wyan-what??

    3 weeks ago we started our flock with six one-day-old BL Wyandotte chicks. They marched out of the box, immediately sized up and took charge of the brooder setup and have done really well so far. Nice and clean, no pasty butts, great appetites, growing like weeds, getting very tame, etc...

    Using used feeders - questions

    A friend gave us some old feeders/waterers. Would a good wash in mild, hot soapy water, a rinse with bleach water and a final clean water rinse be sufficient for us to reuse them when our chicks are grown up enough to use this size? Chicks coming April 8th! These were used for ducks, back...

    New to chickens, old to animals

    Hi - just saw this thread and thought I would go ahead and post. I am a small animal veterinarian in southwest Ohio who swore (after one really bad poultry lab in vet school) that I would never have anything to do with chickens! However as my life goes on and I visit friends who have small...
