    Getting chicks and dogs use to each other

    Great info. We just started our flock. Like with all things new, I expected our dog to be curious and excited regarding our chickens. However, we have a Weimaraner, so her instinct is strong to go "after" birds. She is pretty trained in the "watch me and leave it" commands already. We just have...

    I think my 8 week old babies are getting a cold?

    Can I get Terramycin at Tractor Supply? She is where I got all my birds. However, the three hatchery ones were all together in a different area/coop/brooderand the other two were in another coop. sigh, I am learning. We went with her because of my friend's recommendation and I was not sure if I...

    I think my 8 week old babies are getting a cold?

    I did contact her and she is being very helpful. She said none of her flock is sick nor has she ever had to deal with this. I have friends that have used her and love her, that is why we went to her. I really hope it is not CRG or MG. I live close to Tractor Supply. I looked online and they...

    I think my 8 week old babies are getting a cold?

    Greetings! Alright, we got our five chicks from an awesome local lady. Three of our girls are from Meyer, and the other two are from her own flock. We noticed that one of the girls started closing her one eye all the time, and it looks weepy. Now it is clear and running. Tonight, another bird...

    How do you heat your coops

    I live in Toledo, our coop is built into the garage so they are double insulated. However, when it is cold here, it is cold. You use sand for your coop? Does that work better then pine shavings/straw? I have seen it in coops online. I thought that is pretty smart, you could scoop the poop like a...

    I am wondering the same thing? Do I have a New Hampshire and a RIR????

    Oh, I just posted my reply as a new thread, lol. Anyway, the black girl is NOT an Aussie? She is just a mix. My friend who I got her from only has Marans roos. So, her mom is a guess. :) I will have to send pics of the feathers to get your opinion. My hubby said I need to chill, we will know...

    I am wondering the same thing? Do I have a New Hampshire and a RIR????

    I will have to take some pics of the saddle feathers. I was just out there checking them out. I can't tell. My husband says I should just wait, we will find out sooner or later by crowing. Today the "possible New Hampshire had a new behavior when I feed them. She allowed the other ladies to eat...

    Our ladies are 7 1/2 weeks old. Three we got from Meyer Hatchery in a Rainbow pullet pack. Our friend hatched them. The other two, Isabelle and Luna were our friend's own birds.
  14. This is Thyme. She is in the arms of her owner my 6 year old son. She looks like a Cuckoo Maran or a Barred Rock. What do think?
