    Hen has scabby comb, advice appreciated!!!

    Hello friends!!!! I noticed that one of my chooks had some mild scabbing on her comb a few weeks ago, and treated it with peroxide, then colloidal silver, then put Vaseline on it to try to protect it. It hasn't gotten any better and is now spreading! One of her eyes is almost completely swollen...

    A good fit for my flock?

    I happened to come across an opportunity to rescue 2 chickens who are to be moved to a kill "shelter" because they haven't been able to find anyone to take them. These are the pictures I received of them, one looks male, one looks female, but no idea from my shelter on ages or breeds. The darker...

    Is she going to start laying???

    I think it's still a bit early, she's about 18 weeks old at this point..... This morning I couldn't find her, usually my 6 ladies hang out together, and I happened to look in the "nesting box" I have next to the main coop, and there she was. She got startled and ran, and then her and the "head...

    Found my perfect solution!

    Okay so I have "too many chickens". I'm a first time chicken keeper, and I have made a lot of mistakes!!! So right now I have 4 male leghorns, 3 female leghorns, and 3 female red stars. I got a straight run of leggies (it was less than a buck a bird, I can't pass up a deal like that!!!! Ha) and...

    Mean stinkin roosters....

    I noticed tonight that 2 of my roos (leghorns) are chasing my 3 red star pullets away from being able to get into the coop.... Usually I try to leave the pecking order alone, but they were trying to get to shelter, big storm just hit. I stood out there and shooed the roos away and eventually my...

    Rooster Colony?

    I have 4 beautiful white Leghorn roos, made the rookie mistake of getting a straight run and it was more roos than pullets (started with 5r and 3p) I know I can't keep all these roos with as few pullets as I have, I have a total of 7 pullets now. I feel like someone told me that some people keep...

    Dog thinks chickens are chew toys....

    I've had a bad chicken day. My neighbors dog caught and killed my Cinnamon Queen, and then my dog, who has never attacked any of the chickens, has started bathing, chewing on, and just tormenting my month old Red Stars. I'm currently holding the one he got, she's wrapped in a blanket, she's...

    All about the herbs

    Hey all! I am late getting seeds in the ground, but I have a variety of herb seeds that I bought (because buying 10 varieties was actually cheaper than buying just basil and oregano.....) and I want to make sure that if (WHEN) my silly leghorns get into my garden, anything I'm attempting to grow...

    What gender are my leghorns?

    Hey all! I'm new to the chicken world, and I think I made a mistake by getting a straight run of white leghorns..... I don't know how to reliably say which are male or female, except for the fact that a mister isn't going to lay an egg! Still about 10 weeks to go until we might get some eggs, in...
