    Out of chicken feed in SW Houston!

    I thought we had enough and just found out we're OUT! We don't get our Azure order for another 10 days. Does anyone near Rosenberg, TX have extra. I'd rather not use what's at the feed store but I might have to. If anyone has organic and soy-free for layers I would love to buy some from you...

    Hens laying eggs in wrong place

    We have 2 chicken tractors (3 bantam hens and a bantam rooster + 9 standard hens and a bantam rooster) and both groups of chickens have been laying in the coops but not in the boxes. I think they started this after we gave them new shavings (same brand) and took the old (3 mos ago). Also, one...

    cochins mean?

    I got 2 bantam frizzled cochins, both when they were around 6 mo old. One is pure cochin and the other isn't. She doesn't have as much feathering on her feet. The pure cochin bit us once after we'd had her about 2-3 weeks. The other one is mean all the time. If we're not quick she'll bite...

    Switch from whole grains to Cascade by Magill Ranch??

    I'm having a terrible time deciding if I should switch from Greener Pastures Farm's whole grain recipe to Cascade Layer by Magill Ranch. I can get it for $28 from Azure Standard and would be a lot cheaper than what we're paying for whole org. grains. It would also be nice not to have so many 5...

    Necropsy in Texas?

    We just lost our 6th chicken (about 1 per month, some sudden, one sick for 4 wks). I'd like to know where to get a necropsy before all of our favorite chickens are gone. We live near Houston. It needs to be really cheap! Thanks, Laura

    day 23~Give up on the rest? Help!

    Hello! Our D'Uccle has been sitting on 10 of her eggs and 2 of them hatched on Friday (day 21)! We've never done this before and we've only had chickens for a little over a year. Just now I took the other 8 out because I assumed they weren't going to hatch this late. One of them has...

    questions about broodies hatching eggs

    Hi! I have 2-3 broody hens (BLRW, Australorp, and maybe a RIR) right now and I've been collecting eggs from the D'Uccle that I would like one of them to hatch. ~Is it okay that these eggs have been in a basket in the dining room starting 8 days ago (adding one almost every day)? ~We are...

    Roosters, Barred Rock and Cochin

    Too many Roosters!! We have one Barred Rock and one Blue Cochin. They are both almost a year old. They are FREE! They have to go now! The Cochin is beautiful and calm and needs his own flock. He's never been agressive. I think even our bantam rooster bullies him, he's so sweet. He was bought...

    This is a calm and beautiful rooster but we want hens! He's been raised on organic whole grains in a tractor by 6 kids who love him. If we had space we'd keep him! He is 9 months old. I cannot ship. He needs to go soon! I can't eat him! I would also trade for a hen less than 1 year old...

    Ameraucana Rooster , Rosenberg, TX

    Too many roosters! This guy has been raised with 6 children, never aggressive toward us, just not as "snuggly" as the others. He is 7 months old. We bought him from a breeder as a chick and he is not an Easter Egger or Araucana. We were told he's a Blue Wheaten but his chest isn't blue...

    Organic treatment for tiny black mites or bed bugs?

    I'm going crazy! We discovered tiny (.5 mm or less) black bugs in the chicken tractor about 1 wk ago. They crawl mostly on me (and the chickens). My 6 kids aren't bothered or don't notice them. They (or something else) are biting me at night and I am itchy all night and wake up with new...

    good feeder for soaked Greener Pastures Recipe?

    We soak our homemade whole grain chick starter and can't fill up the jar that screws onto the normal chick feeder. The food doesn't just fall into where it needs to be because it's wet. We have to fill it 3 times a day and they're eating more and more. So we're wanting to figure out their big...
