My flock has been sick for two weeks now after bringing home six new pullets three weeks ago! I took the sickest ones to the vet a week and half ago and we have ruled out Infectious laryngotracheitis with a test that was sent to Washington State University. What else could they possibly have...

I have a bad, bad case of worms. I'll admit I'm a pretty lax chicken owner. I've had laying chickens for 2.5 years now. I've never wormed them and they have worms BAD now. I can see them in all of their poos. Tiny little squiggly worms. I have Ivermectin to give them. Doing Wazine today. My main...

Looks like your're right. She just moved one box over. I think I'll let her be for a few days. I don't want her trying to go lay a nest somewhere random outside. Luckily, she lets me get the eggs from underneath her. Currently, all my cages are occupied, I'll have to see if I can grab one off of CL.

Thanks guys! Shoot. My only wire cage has a nasty roo in it who's waiting to be my dinner. Chicken soup it is.

Went to collect the eggs yesterday and I found that one of my beloved ladies has gone broody. GRR! I removed her eggs and replaced them with ice cubes. Anyone else have any recommendations? She's one of my best layers! I figure I'll be swapping eggs for about a week. Thank goodness I used fruit...

Thank you! I looked you up when I saw your town and you are right by me! Patriot farm are the people who have the bison, correct? We're just down the road on Ferrier from them! I'll definitely check and see if they have any ladies they're willing to part with. Thank you!

So glad I hopped on here. I came to the Wa thread to ask if anyone in the Olympia area had a few Plymoth Rock hens they'd be willing to sell. I'm looking to add a few to my flock. We're in Winlock which is just a quick 25 minute drive to the south of Chehalis. So I'll certainly head up there and...

Would love to know how old your EEs are. Mine are just over 19 weeks. My RIR laid around 24 weeks so I know I need to be patient, but I'm super curious how old your girls were when you got your first egg.

As a impatiently await eggs, I take photos. I've got two RIR who have started laying eggs this past week. They're about 24 weeks or so. The other ten are mixed breed and should be right a 19 weeks right now. I'm getting anxious and I find myself witting with them on the ground with my camera...

So exciting! I'm sitting here with my 3.5 year old daughter and she said, "Did that boy get a chicken egg like me?" we have two RIR that are about 24 weeks. one started laying a week ago and she has given us five eggs! The other one has been sitting on the boxes singing the egg song for the last...

Love it! I can't wait for my easter eggers to start laying!

I don't know anything about urban farming since I'm out in the country, but if I were in that position, I would probably walk up to their door step and ask what it is about your low impact, sustainable lifestyle that bothers them. Maybe offer them some fresh veggies and fresh eggs. Show them...

I have not read through all of the responses, but in my opinion, selling your excess roosters to feed other animals sounds like a good idea. I'm sure buying local roosters for feed is much better for their animals than eating a commercially produced feed. Whether you kill them at a day old, give...

So very rewarding! My favorite part was pulling the feathers.

It's so little and cute!
