I am looking to buy several layin hens. A neighbors dog got in my coop and killed mine. I don't care what breed, just as long as they are brown egg layers. Would even take some colored eggers. Must be located in SW Arkansas or be willing to deliver.

i have read several posts on using apple cider vinegar in your chickens water. does anyone do this on a regular basis and what are the benefits of this?
My uncle has a rooster and 2 hens in his flock that have what looks like swollen watery eyes. the roo has both like this and the hens are only affected in one eye. I went over to look at it and have not seen anything like it before. Also, one of the hens is sneezing and sounds weird when she...

Ok here is a baby turken we got today. Me and the kids were in the feed store and one of the baby chicks in a huge bin of about 150 chicks had this little one by the toe and was dragging it around. My son finally got the bad chick to let go, it was determined to hang on, and we got the hurt...
Two weeks ago, I followed a recommendation of a fellow BYC'er and fed my chickens the cornmeal and pepper recipe to try and encourage laying. Well, since then, no eggs, but lots of runny orange poo or poo that is real watery looking. Some of the hens have went back to normal poo, but over half...
