    Deformed claw - unable to fix. Now what?

    Hello. We received our first batch (4) of chicks in the mail three weeks ago. One of the chicks had two deformed claws and was having a very difficult time standing and walking. I had read about this deformity before the arrival of the chicks and was prepared to take corrective action. Soon...

    snakes

    I've heard of snakes getting stuck half-way out of the coup thanks to an undigested bulge in their body. Yuck. Perhaps I should get to know 'Mr. Smith and Wesson .38' and invite him to my house too.

    RIP Skittles..... :-(

    Sorry to hear about Skittles. Hope Tootsie is doing okay. I wish I could offer some help on what to do, but I'm a newbie (my chicks are 7 days old) at raising chickens.

    Hindsight is 20-20: Organic versus medicated chick feed.

    I'm really looking forward to the arrival of the chicks next week! Thank you all who responded to my original post. Everything I've read and your experiences have kept me from stressing out . I ended up buying chick starter mash with Amprolium last night. Next on my to do list is to get the...

    Comment by 'Fridasmum' in article 'Tambo26's Chicken Coop'

    CHA CHING! is right. My husband calculated (based on the total cost for coop material used) that if each chicken (4) produces three eggs a week, each egg will cost us about $234. Geez! Our chickens haven't been delivered yet and he's already doing the numbers! LoL. Anyway, you have a very nice...

    Starting chicks off w/organic feed then adding an Amprolium feed for adult chickens is a good idea! Glad your method has worked and you have healthy chickens.

    Hindsight is 20-20: Organic versus medicated chick feed.

    Thanks for sharing your experience and the reason for using medicated feed. It seems that for the sake of the chicks I will use medicated chick starter too. Knowing myself, my heart would break to see a critter suffer from coccidiosis or any other disease - I found a feed store out here in...

    Hindsight is 20-20: Organic versus medicated chick feed.

    Hi everyone. I'm very excited about getting my peeps (chicks) in 2-wks, but I have been debating with myself about whether to buy organic feed or medicated feed to help build up each chick's immune system. Since people say that "hindsight is 20/20" I would really appreciate hearing from...
