    Post broody diet (khaki campbell)

    My search foo is weak and I am looking to get some good weight on my k.campbell that just hasn't gained weight back from her broody episode two months back. She is lively and acting 100% normal otherwise. I am currently feeding a 16% mash (1/2 cup a day) from my local feed store and random...

    Problems with Cochin bantam chicks....

    I had six Cochin bantam chicks that were half frizzle and half normal, I have lost two already and number three looks to be on his way out. It seems that I am only having problems with what I think are mottled/blue Cochin (from privet hatchery, random Cochin bantam only separated by frizzle or...

    Cuckoo maran chicks

    The cheeps at TSC got me two days ago and I ended up bringing home six new fluff balls. Among them are these two cuckoo maran chicks and from what my internet sleuthing can deduce I have a 1.1 with the bigger white spot on the head being the cockrel?

    Odd egg, new layer....

    So, I have a newly laying hen that refuses to use any kind of nest box and substrate combo I can think of. She has laid three eggs in the run that were normal albeit small. Today I got this beauty that had a good thickness to it and the yolk/albumen were good. Thoughts on what it was? I'm...

    Which cockrel stays

    These four guys are all 22 weeks old and none have crowed, fought, or laid an egg ;). At what point will these guys have their hormones kick in so I can pick a flock protector?

    Roundworm right?

    My vet treated my ladies for Roundworm five days ago and I'm still seeing this but no big worms. Is this normal or do I need,to go back? He treated with fenbendazol 1.5ml/bird.

    Free chickens, what the heck are they.

    Part of my fathers day festivities were picking up these hens, one of which doesn't lay due to age. I can identify 4 of the six but the two I have pictured I'm only guessing on. BTW, thank heavens I quarantined because they had lice and worms :/. Ps The white hen and the big brown girl in front.

    Growth and development check....

    I submit for consideration, Ms Green, my 14 week ish old barred rock. I am giving copious amounts of fresh clean water, some scratch (oat, corn, wheat, milo), IFA 24% game bird feed mixed with 18% layer mash (its personal pref to mix, I think a variety of textures prevents boredom), and a...

    Ever had a chicken you just know...

    ...is evil but have no proof? All of my flock is deathly afraid of this girl but I never see her act aggressively toward anybirdie. She gives me the evil eye when I look at her though so I named her Lillith.

    Summer time water quality...

    Lately I have been questioning my life choices and the chick waterers that I have been using. Its getting hot enough here that I've been changing my water out 4 to 6 times a day to keep it cool and fresh. I've kicked around pressurized water delivery but I'm not sold on the idea that enough...

    Odd question.....

    I live next to two prominate natural salt mines that market salt and clay products to the organic market. They make everything from tooth paste to seasoned salt with very minimal refining. IMHO they mechanically separate the clay from the salt and that's about it. So I was able to a quite a...

    Rescued cockrel.....

    Got this dude today from a friend of a friend who's other roos beat the tar out of him. I know he's young because he only has spur buds and hackle pin feathers. However, I have only a faint idea of what he actually is and all I was told is "whatever IFA had". IMHO I'm guessing brown leghorn...
