Hello, I haven't been on for quite some time but I have a question because about 8 weeks ago or so I got me some new chicks. There a starting to show there personality and I absolutely love new babies or should I say teenagers. LOL. Well out of 5 of my leghorn chicks I ended up with roosters. I...
I need help! I have 5 RIR that aren't laying anymore. At this time I need to just get rid of them. Does anyone want them or know anyone that would want them? I am in the Ogden area. They are free to anyone that wants them. Thanks
Need your help!!! I have 6 chickens right now and 8 chicks. I was wondering will my chicken coop and area work for 14 chickens???? Please help. I might need to add another roosting bar but do your think this will be okay when the chicks are ready to go in?
These are my baby chicks. 4 Red Rhode Island and 4 Laced Wyandottes! They are way bigger than this now. They are now 4 weeks old. I need some ideas for an in between coop before I can put them in the big coop with my adult chickens. Can I leave them in what I have until then or should I get...
Hello Utahns,
I haven't been on here for quite some time. I was really frustrated with my chickens because I had an egg eater. Although I thought I knew who was doing it, I didn't want to give her away because she was my favorite chicken. Well, after a few days something tragic happened and...
Okay, Northern Utah Friends,
I am going to buy chicks soon to raise for this next year. I am new to this and I will be getting rid of my flock because they eat my eggs. But I want to still have chickens. Any advice, where to buy some etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Melissa
Well, my chickens are going to jail this week! LOL! Those darn egg eaters. I am bound to find out who the culprit is. So to jail one goes at a time. I hate to do this but I am getting no eggs because of this. I did today put some mustard in some eggs to try and get them to stop. Hopefully it...
Unrelated to what has been the talk but I have to say if anyone lives in the Ogden area and need feed for a cheaper price than IFA and CAL ranch go to Cache Commodities. I bought a bag of scratch and layer pellets for the price of one bag of layer pellets that I get from IFA or Cal Ranch. Plus...
Okay, I am getting frustrated with my chickens. They are finally laying eggs again and I am happy with that but I have a chicken that is eating some of the eggs. I am trying to get to them right after they lay but with my work schedule I don't always get out there. I have put a golf ball in each...
I'm in Ogden area. I should look into going to to Cache Commodities. Because last time I got feed from Cal Ranch is was 18.00. So expensive. Is it good???
I'm so proud of my ladies today!! They laid 4 eggs today and 3 yesterday. I only have 7 chickens. I know my EE isn't laying yet unless she is laying under the coop and I can't see them. I wish I could find out. She likes to go under there. But I was happy to get 7 eggs in two days. This hasn't...
Thanks Sphinx, Does anyone know how to change their screen name. My name is actually spelled Melissa! But I accidently put it in wrong and now I don't know how to change it. LOL!!!
RedIII, after looking at several molting pictures, I do think that she molting. This is her second year and she starting molting in the late fall. She is still eating and drinking. Sleeping well with the rest. She just looks naked. LOL! But after looking at those pictures. I do think that is...
Erica, I too live in Weber county. I bought the heater for water and love it. Saves me a ton of money and water. I love mine. I had to put a heat lamp in with mine. I think I will be losing a few though. Two of my RIR look sick. They have lost a lot of their feathers and have white stuff on...
Hello Utahns,
Winters are funny here in our state! Therefore, if anyone has any suggestions on how help chickens during the winter, that would be awesome. Also, pictures of Utah coops and ways to help during the winter would be awesome! Thanks
