For all of you who gave advice or had kind words, I want to thank you. My girl that had been slowly dying I guess you could say is finally at rest. I tried antibiotics and it did not work. She just kept getting more and more bloated and got to the point where should barely walk. I went out...
I have a sexlink and she has been acting weird for two weeks now. At first I thought the heat was getteing to her. Now her wattles are turning greyish purplish and she gasps for air. She comes out of the pen but stays away from the other chickens. She walks very slowly and stops to rest. Her...
I have 5 Isa Brown pullets that were a day old April 1st 2009. I found one in the nesting box a week ago acting like she was going to lay. All of there cones and wattles are bright red and shinny and my rooster is doing his business with them. Well I went in there after seeing the one in there...

I was just wondering how many people out there name their chickens? How many of you spoil them rotten. My husband said that I go to overboard on my chickens. I love them though and want them to have a good life. I do not plan on culling any of them. They are strictly for selfish pleasure and...
