    Mom gave them a bag of raw brown rice-help!

    Ok, so today my mom mentioned that something got into the rice so she had it taken out to the chickens---- on Tuesday. I was in the coop tonight and noticed my RIR hen and a few others had bulgy and unbalanced looking crops. I felt them and could feel the rice in there. What do I do? I was...

    Selling eggs in Marysville, Washington?

    Hey there! I've been trying to talk my parents into selling some of the eggs from our free ranged mixed flock of BO's, RIRs, welsummers, EEs and two blue cochins. If we could just sell a couple dozen every month for about 4-5$ a dozen (people would pay it here too), it would pay for their...

    New pics! Roos or hens? 4 weeks old

    Here are my chicks. I /think/ I may have lucked out and gotten 3 hens and one rooster, but only time will tell. And two of these are definately orpington x EE, as they have the pea combs and were hatched with poofy faces (I also watched at least one come out of a green egg.. .so..) These...

    What breed crosses? Hens or roos? (pictures!!)

    I have 4 babies that hatched 3.5 weeks ago. They are doing great! They come from a mixed flock of RnRs, BOs, Blue Cochins, Welsummers and EEs with a BO rooster. This guy hatched from a light brown egg- I suspect he is a rooster and full buff Orpington. Let me know what you think! I...

    Feed bill reduction?

    I have 17, 1.5 year old hens: they lay quite nicely but feed is horrendously expensive. How to reduce the bill? I feed what the co op sells (purinas animal protein free blend). Well these stinkers chow through about 2 bags every 3 weeks, eating much more than their eggs are worth. We have...

    (Happy!) Having some chickies hatching today! (sad inside though)

    One of my welsummers (actually, er... I think it's a welsummer that is brooding them, see the pictures and let me know what breed you think the hen is... she is either a welsummer or an EE) has been brooding a clutch of eggs layed by my EE's, welsummers, blue cochins, buffs and RR's, fertilized...

    My flock! BOs, EEs, BCs, RIRs and Welsummers :) Also pretty eggies...

    I just thought I'd go take pictures of my pretty flock. I bought most of these chicks in March. They've been laying for about 2 months, the eggs are steadily getting larger and increasing in number! Welsummer Shoelace (and her plucked butt ) One of my lovely blue cochins--- a little shy...

    List of unmedicated chicken feeds?

    Does anyone know of unmedicated chicken feeds? Preferably organic and/or animal protein free (I'm not really looking for the feed for chickens, but rather looking into it as a viable option as parrot pellets... with supplimentation of course). Anyway, any help you could provide would be great!

    Ruptured air sac??? Budgie, NOT a chicken.

    1) What type of bird , age and weight. Budgerigar -- NOT A CHICKEN. A small Australian Parrot. 2) What is the behavior, exactly. He's fine, other than a ping-pong ball sized bulge on the lower side of his body. Air sac rupture? It's perfectly round and smooth coming out of his body. 3)...

    4 week old blue cochin with slash on her neck...

    How often should I reapply the Blu-Kote? I found this wound on her neck yesterday, and since she didn't appear to be being picked on (other than having thinner down feathers on her neck there) I left her in. It's scabbed over, and doesn't appear infected... she appears happy and healthy, and...

    Chick Charming--- Anyone figured this out yet?

    Chick Charming is what I'm calling it, and I'm going to challenge you to try it. Think of one of your little chickes... particularly, that one that races to the other side of the brooder the moment you draw near and peeps frantically every time you pick it up. Now, envision that same chick...

    At what age do you allow new chicks to run free with the adult flock?

    My EE and RIR pullets are about 4.5 weeks old now, and nearly completely feathered out. I just bought 9 more chicks (Blue Cochins, Welsummers and Buff Orpingtons), so I will need to move the older chicks out of the outdoor pen in approximately 2-3 weeks here soon.... Anyway, the adult...

    Angelwing in 2 day old cochin chick??

    I don't have a picture of her, but she's got more wingfeathers than the other cochin chick, and they stick out (especially more on one side than the other) just like the chick pictured in the thread below... Please... is there anything I can do...
