Hi everyone,
I have a 7 month old easter egger that is a cross beak. Bless everyone for all the information on the best way to feed. DH made a "J" pvc feeder for dry feed and then when I get home, I feed wet mash with healthy treats included. She is not laying yet, but was wondering how to...
I'm so paranoid after losing Prissy monday night, I took Red (New Hampshire) to vet yesterday to make sure she wasn't egg bound and to have her tested for worms. No worms were visible in poo sample, but the vet prescribed Panacur because she had a little of a nasty booty to make sure no...
Could all of you master minds get together and write down all your wisdom for us that are new. I would absolutely love to print it and keep in my first aid bag for the chickens. I've had chickens for 2 years, but still panic and run for the computer. Dawg, Specklehen, SeminoleWind, Pop...
Where in the world can I find kiln-dried shavings in Georgia. We are not pleased with Tractor Supply pine shavings, but can't find another place to buy from.
Thank you
I hope I'm not over stepping my ground.....as I don't want to upset Dawg. This is an emergency to me, as Dawg needs his friends behind him and praying for a peaceful heart. He has lost his wife last month and 3 days later lost his Dad. One would have been bad enough, but I can't imagine his...
2-3 month old beautiful new hampshire roosters free to good home. Hatched Nov. 1st. We can only have hens. Names were Ruby and Ginger, but turned out to be different, now they are Jake and Roody! Pictures to follow. Really early to crow, Ginger/Jake surprised me early! Purchased from My Pet...
I have been reading a lot about ventilation especially in the winter. We cut a heart at the top part of the coop like this one and wonder what ya'll think about keeping it open or putting plexiglass over it. Last year it got to about 14 or 15 for a week. Normally our winters are 20-30ish...
I would like to wish everyone a blessed Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for! And thank you to everyone for all of your help and love......
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Can you give me the pros and cons of putting pine shavings in the brooder. The chicks are 1 week old and I'm having to change paper towels at least 4 or 5 times a day. I even wake up at night and have to change them. I can't stand to see them try to sleep with the poo on the towels. Isn't...
Prissy started moulting early in the summer and still is not through. I have been giving extra protein, yogurt, etc. Have ya'll ever had a hen moult and not be feathered out this long? Kind of worried.
Cuddles is a 10 month old dominique. She is a real fighter. About 2 months ago, I noticed her limping and took her to an avian friend of mine. She checked her leg and hip movement, but could find nothing. The limp got worse, so we took her to a vet that would see chickens. X-rays were taken...
Okay...my rhode island red won't stop pecking under the necks of the other girls....added extra protein.....hanging veggie toy......received my pinless peepers from eggcarton.com. My husband and I went out to put them on. Much to our dismay, our red's comb goes way far down her beak and the...
Sorry guys and girls....I have tried everything..I need your help please...separating, blue kote, more protein, hanging parrot toy with greens stuffed in it, chicken block....My New Hampshire pulls the feathers out of every hen under her neck I have but one....I would guess this is #1 and #2 of...
As far as ventilation goes...Are two openings 8x8x8 triangle at the top of the coop large enough for ventilation with the door closed? It's getting down to 13 tonight, but I want to make sure there is enough ventilation. I can't get the picture to load of the coop.....Thank you...this is my...

Hey Chicken Lovers,
I have 2 Brahma hens that are not hens.....One started crowing 2 days ago. They are very spoiled...on organic feed, greens everyday, mealworms, etc. I can't keep them here in Georgia suburb. They are a little over 4 months old and are free to a mother hen like me. They are...
