    Where to buy in Austin area?

    I'll look into getting some chicks directly from the hatchery then... but I am looking for 5 or less so I don't know if they will work with me.

    Where to buy in Austin area?

    Hey everyone, we just moved to Round Rock Texas, just north of Austin and I had to find a new home for my small flock in Portland before we left. Back there I had a pretty great local feed store that I preordered chicks from, and they got a huge selection of day olds breeds and took good care of...

    **UPDATE- Young hen DYING!??? HELP!!** Worried sick-Injured foot..

    Thank you again for your help. Unfortunately I went out to check on her and move her in and she was dead already. I'm very upset by this and just can't grasp what happened to her. I hope the rest of the flock will be alright. It is a sad day.

    **UPDATE- Young hen DYING!??? HELP!!** Worried sick-Injured foot..

    I have not wormed her or the rest of the flock so I have no idea if it is parasites. I am sure that she has been eating healthily and I have noticed her with a large looking crop. This was very sudden except for the weight which I have been noticing for a bit was low- I just kind of thought...

    Appetite concern - GSD - pics added!

    If you haven't already figured out the situation, here's my opinion/suggestions. His weight in the photos you posted looks just right. I wouldn't want to see him any thicker or thinner honestly. I won't turn it into a food conversation but.. I would strongly recommend that you switch foods...

    **UPDATE- Young hen DYING!??? HELP!!** Worried sick-Injured foot..

    Does this sort of behavior sound somehow familiar to anyone? Have you ever seen a hen act this way? I don't know what it is!

    **UPDATE- Young hen DYING!??? HELP!!** Worried sick-Injured foot..

    Update: I need some help and insight, I believe this young hen may be dying today. Let me bring you guys up to speed: It took about 3 weeks before Fritatta (the welsummer pullet who had the injured foot) began fully using her leg again. It was a gradual process. During that time I would take her...

    Help!! Introducing two new hens

    Went outside to check on them this morning but I couldn't get a good look as they are just keeping hidden underneath the coop. (It is raised about 6 inches off of the ground). Are they just letting things blow over before moving about or do you think the rest of the flock isn't letting them out?

    Misindentification? Help please!

    I'm not expecting perfection or anything of the sort, it's just good to know what I've got. She is great either way As for the GSL/ RIR/NHR what do you guys think? And how does one tell the difference between a NHR and a RIR, or do you at all?
