It has been exactly 13 months since we had to sell off our chickens and goats and pigs and rabbits and guineas. Our mini farm. Gone. Moved into the suburbs. Gah! Gasp! Moannnnn! The divorce had taken it's toll. The children and I had lost everything. Even our way of life. We used to get up and...

My favorite (of course) rooster, blue wheaten maran, 16 weeks old, has a gunky yellow discharge from his left nostril, as well as swollen eye area and wattle on left side. He was lethargic earlier today and though I began antibiotics today and he seems a little better he still is not himself. I...

Any one know what kind of banty babies I picked up from TSC? They are now approx three weeks old, four toes, very light colored legs. I'm not sure about the combs. Not sure how to tell which kind of comb when they are so small. [/IMG][/IMG]

How warm is warm enough for an injured hen? I'm using small heat lamp borrowed from my snake on top of the cage where I am housing the hen in my kitchen and have a blanket covering most of the cage I'm putting a reptile thermometer in now to see how w warm it is. She is drinking sugar water but...
