    Need help with my syrofoam cooler/heat pad incubator!

    Hi all, I just got 12 bantam hatching eggs. 6 are under my broody salmon Faverolle. My main goal is to use things that I have on hand and not procure any more things. I have read a lot on the internet, but not enough to make me feel comfortable, so I am seeking advice from any of you have...

    Who says cedar is bad for chickens???

    I live on Harstene Island near Shelton, 2 hours from Seattle. The best thing ever is a mix of fine bark mulch and peat moss. I've been doing this for 4 years now. The peat absorbs water and the mix doesn't turn into mud. The chickens love rolling around and dust bathing in peat. Even when...

    Cooked Rhubarb?

    I have been making rhubarb juice out of my bounty of rhubarb from the garden, but now I have a ton of pulp left that I either need to compost or give to the chickens. I have so much pulp, I've already put so much to good use otherwise. Now I'm sick of it and wonder if I can give the cooked...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    I've cleared up several cases of bumblefoot, but the most important thing and what stopped further episodes is: Lower your roosting perches and nest boxes so that they aren't jumping down hard (any little splinter or the action of jamming the foot down onto the ground all the time can trigger...

    Sick Chicken, Please Help With Mystery!

    Well, she died today. After taking her to a vet and doing a home necropsy on her, the crop was not sour nor full of anything, no blockage, no canker. Her crop just failed to work. I'm not a vet, but many factors could be the problem: Bad genes, neurological disorder, etc. I haven't had good...

    Sick Chicken, Please Help With Mystery!

    Her crop did not empty last night, still puffy and full, can't smell anything sour. She ate a bit of banana, but isn't interested in eating anyway. She is still drinking. Massaging the crop. Thanks.

    Sick Chicken, Please Help With Mystery!

    My 3 year old golden Campine, Dora, was found standing in the outside run just standing with her eyes closed. Thought it might be the warm sun was making her drowsy, bu upon further examination, she was listless and not feeling well. I watched her drink a lot of water several times. I took...

    Wanting to purchase Derbyshire Red Caps

    Hi, I've had several redcaps I got from Murry McMurry and all but one had a nice fat comb and she is a runt. I had two runts and 4 good sized girls out of the 6 I got. I love their temperament, I find them to be a challenge in a good way. I don't think they're for everyone, but I hope to see...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    Success with bumblefoot treatment on two chooks in a row . . . The first hen was limping and her bumble seemed to be infected. We were worried about staph. Try to use implements on the chook that you can throw away as it is nearly impossible to kill staph and you don't want to transfer it to...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    3 out of 13 ~ Lazy butts! Is this typical for western WA and girls that are 2 1/2? They're on organic layer mash from In Season Farms. They get some greens, worms and bugs from the garden, forage in the grassy run for about 1/2 to 1 hr a day. I don't really care about the low egg production...

    Passing Blood Clots

    Well, after having her in the house overnight, she passed more livery looking clots and then in the morning had pooped out an empty egg 'skin.' Weird. Then she was acting normal, no more passing blood or clots. I let her back out with the other girls and she is fine up to now. I'm wondering...
