    Early Stages of Bumblefoot?

    Bubblefoot doesn't effect the eggs. I just didn't want to eat them after she'd had the antibiotics injected. :) I'd wrap the feet to keep them clean for a couple of days and she how she's doing.

    Just insulating the nesting box area?

    Yes, probably not good for Alaska, but I've never had ice form -- even at the top -- here in Michigan. :) And yes, those black rubber ones are great. Used them for the outdoor dog water.

    Silkies/Frizzles from Chickenstock 2013 - What's too cold?

    We're in Michigan and have had a small flock of hardy Orpingtons for a year now. They did fine last winter in a small coop with a heated waterer and good feed at temps down to 14 degrees. On those nights we left a 200 watt bulb on for a little bit of heat. My question is about my other...

    Early Stages of Bumblefoot?

    We are currently treating an Orpington with bumblefoot. We caught it very early when we noticed her limping. Took her to the vet since this was our first experience with it. The vet gave her a shot of antibiotics in each foot near the infection and picked the round scab off. She gave us some...

    Just insulating the nesting box area?

    tepchickens: the 2 gallon waterer fits neatly into the heated bowl and the bowl plugs into the outlet inside the coop. Here's a pic. What kind of chickens do you have?

    Just insulating the nesting box area?

    We live in Michigan and our 4 Orpingtons do just fine over the winter in a small wooden elevated coop. It is not insulated, and not well designed, so there are drafts around the slider door. :( We caulked the rest of it though, so I guess that draft is just a bit of ventilation for them... I...

    Chicken Lovers from Genesee County, Michigan!

    Ooooh, thanks for the tips. I will give them some corn meal and peas as a treat tomorrow. We floated a small handful of minced green grass in a bowl of water this afternoon when we let them out to play. It was fun to watch them slurp it up and chase it around the bowl. I bought DUMOR brand...

    I didn't know about the store on Miller and Elms. I'll definitely check it out before we buy our duckies. :) Have you seen this posting on Craigslist? They have 9 month old pekins in Clio for $5. http://flint.craigslist.org/grd/3674534077.html
