Thank you....it is an impacted crop. I've never seen/had this problem before so it really freaked me out. I ended up taking her to the emergency vet and they wanted $1000 for crop surgery. I can afford it but I would really rather not have to. They gave her fluids at the vets and I brought...

I came home from work today and noticed Olive my Araucana was very lethargic. She's standing with her eyes closed, feet are really cold and didn't mind when I picked her right up. She hasn't laid eggs in a while and I noticed a massive lump on her breast area when I picked her up...it feels...

The first time I ordered chicks, I thought the same thing. It would be really nice to have a roo :-) I asked for one, and ended up with three! Sexing is not entirely accurate, so in spite of not asking for one you just might be surprised. I had eight hens between two standard roos and one...

The first time I had chickens, my dog went nuts. He is a six year old, very intelligent german shepherd. He was so insanely jealous of them. He goes outside to his huge kennel during the day, and is inside with us in the evening and at night. We decided to use his old puppy crate for the...

My chicks arrived today as well, I have two speckled sussex in the bunch and they are so purdy! Lively little buggers too. Congrats :-)

They arrived this morning The post office called me at 9:30 and I zipped on over to pick them up. They said they attempted delivery at 8:30 but I never heard a doorbell. I thought that was a bit strange as I've never heard of chicks being delivered to the doorstep . Anyhooz, they were all...

That looks really nice! I also can't swallow the big price tag on the ready made coops, especially the ones suitable for housing more than 4-5 chickens. I have 12 chicks coming and am looking to build something myself as well (or perhaps have one built given my inexperience in carpentry) :-)

Wow, what a nice breed! Now I'm even more excited, I have two speckled sussex chicks arriving on Thursday with 10 other chicks of different breeds. Can't wait :-)

Thank you everyone! I'm looking forward to getting acquainted. I will put up pictures once the babies arrive. I ordered the following from Healthy Chicks and More: 2 Araucanas 2 Australorps 2 Buff Brahmas 1 Light Brahma 1 Barred Rock 2 Buff Orpingtons 2 Speckled Sussex ...and of course I...

Awwww what a cutie! My order should be coming in this week from Healthy Chicks and More...and even though I almost certainly know they will send me a cockerel, it's so hard to resist checking that "Free Rare Breed Chick" box :-) Last time I ended up with a banty roo, I have no idea what breed...

Hi Everyone! I'm not entirely new to chickens but I'm new here :-) I've been lurking for a while now so I thought I should join and make my introductions. I had chickens a few years ago but had to rehome them due to a move. I missed them so much I ordered myself some more this year. The...
