I sent hubby to the feed store for more chick feed today. With everything I feed them they should have protein coming out their ears. hahaha .. I sent extra veggie out tonight since it was raining cats and dogs tonight. And the wood.. they LOVE!!! That has got to be one of the best ideas I have...
Akane ... When I found him one of the hens had her head inside his rear. He didn't seem to have any wounds any where else. He was fine the day before. So I don't know what really happened. There were no predators or vermin that can get to the chickens. There may have been something happen...
I fill their food containers every morning and when they need it. They have food all the time. They are spoiled. Trust me the farm I grow up on when I was a kid taught me well how to feed them. But not how to deal with this problem. I have never seen chickens do this. We had over 100 and...
I sure hope it ends soon. And I hope none of us lose anymore chicks that way.
Solarical... Now I did have that happen a few times. One day they are fine and the next day they are missing half they feathers.
Kautz.... I guess that is what happened to this one. He must have been in shock to...
Hey MIssPrissy.... I have now 24 chickens. They have a very big pen. Two levels. plenty of room to roost. All the roost are at the same level. They get scratch, chick feed, and now I have been putting in some laying feed. Plus they get fresh veggies from the garden. They love peaches but they...
They caused a hole the size of a large egg. Poor thing. It broke my heart to put him down. Well hubby did it for me. I wish it was just was just them preening. I have one rooster now I think is what happened to him. But it was on his wing. He is almost back to his old self and getting ready to...
I went out this morning to feed the chickens to find one of my roosters laying on the ground and a few of the other eating it's rear. I am going to have to put the rooster down or should I say hubby will. It just brokes my heart to see that he was just laying there and letting them do that to...

I look in to getting my birds for a month or two before starting.. I know here in Spartanburg county there are no rules about chickens. But I know in town there is. Not sure what Charleston would say about chickens on meetings st. lol. I think I would do just hens no roosters. I...
Nadine... I know what you mean. and I only have 25 chickens. lol.
Countygirl... I just read that. OMg. lmao... That is so me. I dare my hubby to tell me to do something. I will go around hell and half of Georgia not too. And if I have to do something.. It will take me forever to do it...
I will try that. I do come at them at their own level. And once I get a hold of them and they sit on my hand they are fine. But I will try give them more treats. Thank you MissPrissy I need all the luck I can get. Not sure how much more my hands can take. lol. Hubby says I have chicken scratch...
I went to Murray a few times when I was a kid. But it has been forever since I went there. I don't remember much about Murray. But I do remember this one boy. Broke my heart. lol He was much older than I. lol
I would love to see that with the fish. I love watching animals and just the world...
It is normal for roosters at almost 2 months old to try and become supper before their due time? Lately about 2 of my roosters think that my fingers and hands are supper. Everything I go to move them so I can clean they try their best to take a piece of skin off. If it is normal... When will it...
I love that place Nadine. Now if I can find a babysitter for the boys and the chickens I will have to go.
Nccountrygirl..... You have me laughing myself silly. Not because it is funny. But because it is the truth. lol. I have burnt my hands opening the car door before. lol. Thank you sweetie...
That is too funny . lmao.... I was just yesterday helping a lady set up a weekend down there. Our favorite place is called The Elliott Inn. It is right there at King St. and is just the best place to stay. I have sent many of people there. It really is not for kids. It is more of a couples...
If I have a chicken that is that smart and can get through college. I don't think I will have to worry about them calling for more money. I will be a rich woman.
I have to agree Nadine. Myrtle is a money trip. I don't understand why anyone who live here in SC even goes there. Now north Myrtle is better but still nothing like Charleston. Like you it holds my heart. I just hope those that go to Myrtle stay there. I would hate to see Charleston get that...
Hey there EllyMae. I love that area you are in. My great grandparents were Cherokee. I love going up there and visiting. When I was little I remember my dear beloved mother hated going. She would ride in the backseat floor board. hehehe She was deathly afraid of the moutains and heights. Me...
You know you could ask for a day trip if it is your birthday. hehehe. I need to get back down there myself. Course right now .... anywhere would be nice. Happy early birthday sweetie. I hope you have a blast for that birthday.
If you haven't been to Charleston in a while sweetie. I would take a trip down there. It is so worth the gas and the long trip. If it was not for the cars and the way people were dressed; you could have walked back in time. Me and hubby walk for hours around there. Down aille ways you can find...
