Where on earth can I buy wheatgrass seeds for growing fodder in bulk, or at least more than 5lbs for $16.00 at Walmart? None of the million feed stores here sell any seeds for growing fodder.

2 year old hen pulls out massive feathers mostly at night. Her chest is bald and her fancy pants are almost gone. No mites, but treated anyway just in case. She's a non setter, so not preparing her nest, and not molting. She's separated from the flock because she'll pull out all their feathers...

I have a 5 month old Silkie roo who has been penned up in an area in sight of 4 mature Silkies hens and one Silkie pullet, for 3 months. This is my first time having a roo and although I've had chickens for years... having a roo for the first time has put me on strange territory. It's probably...

My small flock of Silkies won't touch kitchen scraps of ANY kind. All they want is layer pellets, why, why, why? They'll eat rolled oats and a bit of hemp seed, and I do give vitamins, but that's it. Would really like to see them eat some greens. Tried watermelon, bread, meat, fruit... they act...

Here's the link to PHX, AZ chicken keeping ordinances as of May 19, 2014 http://www.codepublishing.com/az/phoenix/frameless/index.pl?path=../html/Phoenix08/Phoenix0807.html

I bought my Silkie chicks a bit too early, it is still 100-105 in my brooder outbuilding. I thought when I ordered them Phoenix temps would be around 90... NOT! The chicks are 2 wks old and in the house, but I'd sure like to put them outdoors where I'm better set-up. Is it too hot for them at...

I have a 7 mo orphington, she won't come out of the coop. Eating only enough to survive and poops one time a day. Is drinking but not much. It's over 100 degrees here so that is a huge concern. If I approach her she poofs out and sticks her butt in the air. She's been this way for over two weeks...

I'm concerned that 4 of my birds may be roosters - can somebody help me clear this up? Thanks! Gosh, I hope I'm wrong about this, I already know for sure I have a Dominique rooster. All 17 of my birds are supposed to be girls! Orphington on right, 3 months old Orphington 3 months old...

Somebody in my flock is a rooster! I have 20 birds, all 3.5 months old. I've pretty much narrowed it down to two birds, can anybody tell me if this Dominique is a Roo?

My 3 y/o hen has one eye closed (no injury noted)and is lethargic. She is in her nest most of the afternoon and not much interested in feed. I'm not sure what to do for her and thought maybe an antibiotic was in order. Is this something I can buy at a feed store, what kind? I'm bringing her into...

I have a nice predator proof coop that offers shelter but is not completely draft proof, plywood on the sides and a roof. If I hang a heat lamp in there are my 3.5 week babies going to be warm enough in 55 degree night time temps? There are 17 chicks total. Right now they are in the garage, just...

I have two very large birds appear at my farm today and are roosting on my fence right now. They are much larger than a chicken, they are gray with a white head, a splash of orange on the side of their head and have a black ring around the base of their head. There was a bad storm here...

I'm preparing my brooder for 15 chicks coming next week. I'll have them in the garage for the first 5 weeks then they'll go to the outdoor coop and yard. My outdoor coop is nice but I can't guarantee it's going to be waterproof if we get a heavy rain. Is there such a thing as a waterproof heat...

Phoenix location. I'm am looking for 20 Orphingtons chicks Buff or White - or both. May consider white leghorns. amy

I have retired some of my older birds to free range over an area of approx. 3/4 of an acre of barren land about three months ago. My question is feeding them as they have little interest in chicken feed, and here in the low desert food I would think is scarce. I quit leaving feed out in the...

I have a hen that has been in the coop sitting in the corner for two weeks now. She hasn't laid an egg during that time either. The chicken yard has shade and a small pond area for them to cool off during this heat - but this is Phoenix and it's 110+ in that coop during the day. I would close...

Yikes, Orphington Hen picked on so bad the top of her head was dripping with blood. Her comb looks ok, but what a mess her head is. She is now resting comfortably in our shedrow barn but now she's not protected from predators unless she stays there - which actually she is. Anything I should be...

Inexpensive quality bird netting. I bought this netting and it has held up perfect! Check out this web-site! http://www.amigoni.com/bird%20netting.htm

I bought from this web-site a year ago and I'm thrilled with their bird netting. Check it out - it's the most reasonably priced I have found anywhere and is holding up perfect even here in Arizona where temps exceed 110.

I have 6 hens 1 to 2 1/2 yrs old, live in arizona where the temps are about 45 at night and 60 during the day for an average. All but 1 hen has quit laying for about a month now. Last year they produced all through the winter, so I guess this is why I'm a bit concerned. Oh, and no, I don't...
