HH- I hear you my first two I did, were a chore, then I did ten and that was trying on my soul. I mentioned what I was doing to a chef friend and he immediately offered to help, then he brought a friend to help as well. Now the three of us can process 15 in an hour in my back yard( we could do...

Hello! I'm in Denver and I sell my birds to my neighbors at 5$/lb. They are fed organic local grains and lots of fresh grass. I have no problem getting this price, and have a wait list of people that want them. I process my birds myself, picked up a picker/plucker and I get to work. On Mr...

Well I'm glad I could help. I'm pretty new to chickens so I'm learning all the time. I don't notice much difference with the birds, still panting, but it seems less labored. Who knows hopefully taking the corn out helped. Also I've got to apologize for the poor grammar in my earlier post...

Hey All,, I was speaking with my father yesterday. He has owns a feed mill/ hardware store back in rural NY, so we talk feed a lot etc.. Any way I got to talking to him about Fermented feed and whole grain feeds etc... I mentioned my mix of Corn oats, scratch and the rest of my mix and he...

Ihouse- I'm doing the same thing. Today was the first day it took forever to drain, Normally I get the grain draining and then go water the garden and come back and it's good to go. It's never soupy either, wet yes, soupy no. So maybe after you use the next bucket, go hose it out to get any...

Hi wsmith and coloradochick! Thanks for the welcome. coloradochick: I'm so sorry, I've lost five in that last two weeks, had my last one (of 5) go on sunday, I'd been feeding it by hand, holding it up so it could drink, so I hear ya. It's a heart breaker. Hang in there. This may help, but...

Hi all! I'm new here. I had 103 temps in the backyard yesterday. I'm in Denver. I used the mist setting on my garden hose and a large floor fan and managed to get it to cool down a little. The garage got down to 93. Some of my hens have figured out to hang out next to the dog door as cool air...

I just started fermenting my feed a few days ago. I used red wine vinegar with Mother, and added water. The feed I'm using is corn and soy free, organic, lots of different grains and what not in it. Before I fermented I was just feeding this dry obviously. In the past three days, I have seen a...

Just found the splayed leg one dead... I understand that there is loss, and that this happens, but that's not fun.

ok, so the chick with the eye issue, is still really wobbly, doesn't want to move around much, but does seem to move a little but I never see it doing it. I gave it the Electrolytes yesterday in it's water. I had to hold it up so it could drink. Once it figured out I was helping it it went crazy...

Thanks "UP" I'll look into the leg hobbles for the splayed leg one. I've looked for Boric acid to use for an ear wash for my dog, but can't find it any place. It's almost like every pharmacy in Denver decided not to carry it any more. The one thing I do want to share though is the bully bird...

Ok, so the other day I went out to check on the birds and found one small chick about 2 wks old bloody and hiding in the corner. I separated the chick and put it with one that has a splayed leg. I sat and watched the birds for a bit and noticed that the largest of the CX's was pecking and being...
