    Chickens + The Fair

    I haven't been on in a while and just wanted to share how my chickens did at the fair. I just showed my chickens for fun, and really didn't mind what they got. We had two black Orpingtons that we got as chicks and were hoping they were going to be hens, but they turned out to both be roosters...

    Marek's + Adult Chickens

    This year I was planning on taking my chickens to the fair, but I have heard there has been a Marek's scare around my area. I know when taking your animals to fair you are taking your chances when it comes to getting diseases, but I wanted to know, can I vaccinate my adult birds against this...

    Extremely small black bugs?

    I went to go and pick up my injured chicken who is currently in the house, while holding him I felt really itchy. So I put him back in his cage and looked at my hands, that's where I saw these little black bugs crawling on me. Does anyone know what these are? I just feel itchy all over now...

    Rooster Fight

    So today our Cochin rooster and Silkie rooster decided they want to fight! It's weird because they have never fought before, usually the Silkie just goes on his way and doesn't bother anyone. I guess the Cochin really wanted to fight because I broke them up, putting the Silkie in the coop and...

    Fly Maggots

    I'm not sure if I posted this in the right place but today while cleaning out the coop I noticed some fly maggots underneath the moister poo. Will the maggots harm the chickens? Is it okay if they eat them?

    Snuffles (Pasteurellosis)

    I'm looking to see if anyone has dealt with this disease before? None of my rabbits have (thank goodness) but I was wondering is it contagious when no rabbit show signs?
