    Experience w/Black Langshan Roo?

    When they say chickens are addicting, man, they aren't kidding. I started out saying I wanted 4.. which turned into 8.. which turned into 12... which then turned into 14. I then said that I for sure.. 150% knew that I didn't want to keep a rooster. We only live on 1.25 acres and have neighbors...

    Show me your pretty eggs!

    Mine aren’t laying yet, but we’re almost there. I’m so excited!! I’ve got a couple of EEs that I’m anxious to see the color they lay. I’m still learning about all of the different breeds and pretty colors and shades they produce. I love seeing photos, so show me your eggs! Please include what...

    4 weekers and 9 weekers

    I wasn't sure if I should put this in this topic or the raising baby chicks topic, so I apologize if this isn't in the correct one. There are a million things to read about integrating new chicks, but I was hoping to find some advice pertaining to my specific situation. I'm still learning (I've...

    Another DLM thread..

    Ok, I've searched and I haven't really found the answer I'm looking for. We are putting the finishing touches on our run tomorrow and will be letting the girls out for the first time. I'm still on the fence about which way would be best to cut down on odor, wetness, etc. I live in Oklahoma...

    Should you pull broken pin feather?

    It doesn't seem to be bleeding and I treated with Vetricyn and Wound Kote. Everything I read pertains to wounds that are still bleeding so I'm wondering if I should pull it or just let it be? It's on my 3 week old leghorn.

    Bleeding tail feather and pecking... help!

    It has all been smooth sailing until today. I went out and looked in our brooder and saw blood stained tail feathers. Our 3 week old leghorn broke a tail feather. I immediately separated and went to the store for meds. I sprayed with vetricyn and then Wound Kote, since the store didn't carry Blu...

    Is 100% prevention possible?

    I've read all about providing dust bathing areas to help prevent mites, fleas, etc. My question is, is it possible to prevent them completely? I mean, is it something that I will more than likely be dealing with as a chicken keeper at some point no matter what precautions are taken? I just want...

    Need advice on run bedding...

    There are far too many critters for me to feel comfortable free ranging so we have a large 8x8 coop we are in the process of building and are planning to have a T shaped run. Our soil is pretty sandy.. well, mostly sandy as we live close to the river. We are planning to use 16 gauge, vinyl...

    They hate me...

    I've read all the advice about talking to them to help them get used to your voice and trying to approach them from the side because of natural predator instinct, etc. The approaching them from the side is kind of difficult since they are in the brooder, but I do still try the "scoop from the...

    Is ‘just one more’ a common problem?

    I started off only wanting 4.. then we got 6.. and today we got 2 more. 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Easter Eggers, a Black Australorp, and a Welsummer. I want all the chickens!! :wee:wee:wee Really though, this will be it for us. I just love them so much!

    Feeding question

    I made mash from starter feed and water for the chicks and they love it. They also always have access to dry food as well. They eat from both and I remake a fresh batch every morning. I am just wondering if that is ok, or if they can eat too much mash?

    Pecking order or problem?

    We got chicks on Monday that were 5-6 days old. 2 EE, 1 Barred Rock, and 1 Black Australorp. They were all doing great. The Barred Rock is quite a bit smaller but she is doing great and doesn't let the others push her around. One of my EE is yellow, and the rest are dark. My other EE is brown...

    New chicks and I'm kind of freaking out...

    Ok, so we have chicks for the first time and we just got them today. We've got our brooder all set up. It's a large cardboard box with a puppy pad on the bottom and sand on top. We have their feed and water and are using an Ecoglow heat plate. As soon as we got them in the brooder, they were...
