Scratch the original post about just the mille fleur pairs. I have about 18 chickens I need to part with as I just don't have the time to take care of them all This has been such a hard decision... some of you know my husband has ALS. I've been home with him for seven weeks now and it's...

Yeah, that sounds funny... but she does. She's about 8-10 weeks old, a buff laced polish. She was with other chickens until three weeks ago when she wouldn't stand or walk on one leg. I brought her in, checked her out, couldn't find any injury, swollen, broken, anything. I have kept her in the...

I have a knack for hatching males. I always get 6-7 males and one female, maybe two if I'm lucky. $5 each

I have one of each, from Sandhill Preservation - 6-7 weeks old. Both crowing. $5 each.

Something I wrote... just wanted to share. Stop wishing and start living As I was redoing my profile on MySpace I thought, Lord, here we are approaching our 11th wedding anniversary and we have a rising fourth grader who will be nine soon. I really want to know where all the time went. I...

My beagle managed to get a baby dove in the backyard. I haven't a clue where it came from. I've looked in every tree I could find. I just don't know about doves. Where do they nest? Can anyone tell me what to do with it? I don't see any injuries, though I don't know how long he was playing with...

I was gone for a week, no computer access, really enjoying vacation (missing my chickens) and come back to 188 pages as I first sign on of new posts... I can't do that!!! 188 pages!?! Sheesh! Someone hit me up with the highlights!!!

Scenario - I had three buff silkies and one partridge (all hens) and two roosters - a buff and little Kazoo (lemon blue cochin/silkie). Kazoo hit puberty REALLY early and started mating before I could get him moved to another pen. My girls went broody and hatched out the eggs laid during that...

I have NINE (ack, I was thinking only eight) of these babies that need to go. I'm very lucky at hatching males apparently I have eight more 2 wk old babies as well and I'm almost sure I have six males in that batch. Anywho, they have gorgeous color and feet. I prefer pick up but am willing to...

It's only taken me a YEAR! Sheesh, some of you people talk a lot...

I know this has been beaten to death and by no means do I want to start it up again, but I have been curious to know what everyone did with their "surviving" chicks from McMurray that showed symptoms of AE. Did you put them down? Did they recover? And if they did, do you still keep them...

mypetchicken banner has a typo... *Minimum order may "VERY" based on location. Should be "vary"... Ok, I'm going back to eating my lunch now....

This is Doris Day - buff laced polish. And this is Aretha Franklin - golden laced polish. Can anyone help me with the sex on these?? I would SOOO appreciate it! They're a little over six weeks old.

I just found him this afternoon, hunkered in the run. He won't stand up and he will let me do anything to him which is unusual. I bathed his bottom and legs cause he was so nasty and saw a white bug crawling on his head around his eye, which I'm assuming is a mite. AGH!!!!! I have Hartz flea...

Man, that stuff smells like straight up Vicks! I wasn't expecting that when I opened it up! Has anyone found any other uses for it, or use it for something else, other than what's on the box? I planned on using it one girl with "congestion" and another with scaly leg. Thanks

This is my little in-transit baby, mom laid an egg while being shipped to me and I threw it in the incubator for kicks. I'm biased, but I think she's the cutest baby ever! (At least I hope it's a she... ) Here she is at a week old

SHEESH! I got 10 chicks from McMurray (went in on an order) and within two days six of them had died. The four I have left will be two weeks old tomorrow and one of the mille fleurs, all of a sudden, out of the blue can't walk, kind of lays on her side, is breathing heavy with her wings spread...

Remember the trio of mille fleurs that were shipped to me a few weeks ago? And one of the hens laid an egg while they were in transit? It was in the box when we picked them up at the PO? I set that egg in the incubator a few days after I set these other eggs (that are failing so miserably) and...

Hatched yesterday (buff orp) and one eye is larger then the other. It is covered by the eyelid but she/he doesn't open it much, if at all. What could have caused it and what do you think will happen? Thanks!

DH is home chirping and peeping to the eggs and two are talking back and just a rockin'. NO FAIR! I want to be home for my first incubator hatch. Just not fair... I do however think it's adorable that DH keeps peeping at them and trying to hold the phone close so I can hear it. Awe
