    Baby chick feather pecking

    May be some that disagree, but... I have used Bag Balm to coat the affected area, with a heavy dose of black pepper added to stop feather picking. It has worked very well and the peckers seem to absolutely abhore the taste as they rarely go back for seconds after they get a little flavor. Its...

    Big enough coop?

    It'll hold 4-5 easily. Looks dandy! Needs walls to keep the weather out though. But if your just using it as coop space it will do just fine.

    Sneezing and rattlely chest

    She has a little age on her if she is 24 months but has alot of life left in her I think. I'm not a vet just a guy who has had some very good success with no illness losses in the 10 years I've been raising chickens. I dont over treat with medications but I do recommend giving antibiotics in the...

    How do I encourage the girls to spend more time outside?

    They will come out. Just leave an access door open and they will venture out when they are ready. They just need time to get used to their new surroundings and then they will be all over the place. Sometimes it can take several days for them to get accustomed. Dont Worry.

    is Dumor (dumour) a good feed brand?

    Fred's Hens : Dumor has such mythology surrounding it, that I do not understand. It is merely Purina in a "house brand" packaging, exclusive to Tractor Supply. Think Whirlpool/Kenmore. Sears doesn't have a washer/dryer/refrigerator factory either. Dumor is milled and packaged at a singular...

    The Tetra Tint thread.. (Photos, info) ❤

    Looks Like They Could Be A Mix Of Whatever They Havent Sold With A Catchy Name So People Will Think They Are Getting Something Eggstra Special. Looks To Be A Mix Of Comets, Amberlinks, Cornish, And Leghorns. Mt Healthy Is Probably Just Getting Someone To Breed A Bunch Of Mutts/hybrids To Start...

    Pedialite ? for new chicks from hatchery.

    Just use the standard dur-vet vitamin / electrolyte powder from TSC or feed store should be about 5 bucks for an 4oz bag. I use this for all my birds and it only takes 1/10 tsp per gallon of water for baby chicks, alittle more when they get older. I also use this during extreme heat / cold /...

    BR runt_sick or just small?_pictures!

    Not at all sure about the bubble in the eye but as for her size, I dont think I would worry at all. As long as she acts fine and eats well I'd say shes a keeper. I have a buckeye that was very small from the start, she acts good and eats fine. My gamecock buddies were telling me she needs culled...

    Medicated Feed - Yes or No???

    I dont use the medicated feed. Never have and i have been ok. I have bought chicks vaccinated and not vaccinated. I personally dont think it is necessary and probably doesnt matter one way or the other. They should build up a natural immunity as they are exposed but you just have to weigh the...

    Hard Boiling Eggs

    Poking a hole in the large end works. My wife uses a push pin just like you would use on a cork board. lots of salt in the water works too but we dont like to use it up that much.

    Am I the only on who gets picked on for likeing chickens to much?

    My friends and family call me chicken george. What can I say though I am a forty year old man who might just punch another dude in the face for the fun of it but baby chicks turn me in to a puddle of goo. hahahaha... Raising chickens successfully is honestly the first thing I have ever loved...
