Has any one ever used the 6 foot x 6 foot white fence panels at lowes (or home depot) for the walls of your coop? I'm wondering if those would work and how to do it.

I had one that I thought was a female for a long time.Then my daughters ag teacher came by so I asked her how to tell and she picked up the bird and flipped it over and felt in the middle of its breast bone and said "ITS A BOY!" she said you can tell by the beard coming out under the feathers...

So sorry about your babies!

I'm so sorry for you. I can feel your pain. Our dog, I thought was always aggressive. My husband always said I was over protective with my chickens. "The dogs won't hurt them" he would always say. Well the dog got them killing 6. So my husband felt really bad and reinforced all of our fences...

The poultry dust I use is called "Prozap" I get it at the feed store. It works really good.

Yep! We feel your pain!

Last week I posted about my daughters 3 week old chicks that were very sick and could hardly stand. I took everyones advice and found that they had mites. I dusted them with poultry dust (prozap) and in a few days they were doing great! Now I'm wondering how often do I dust them? What is DE for...

Glad to hear someone else has the same thing going on! I thought mine were weird they do that too.

Looks just like my GLW hens.

Jersey Giant! She'll be huge! wait and see!

OMG! I love them!

1 pullet 3 roos.

The combs are big for 6 weeks old. All but 1 of my cochin hens have small combs. But 1 has a huge comb and if I hadn't seen her lay I would swear she was a he! I would wait a little longer.

I have 4 GLW hens and they look just like yours!!

Welcome! They both look like hens to me!

Thank you so much! I'm on my way to the feed store!

OMG! they have mites! would that cause them to be lathargic? I'm going to the feed store right now to get dust for them. Should I also try to get Corid?

Can you dust baby chicks for mites? What can we use? Would mites cause our babay chicks to be lathargic?

I will try the wash rag right now! Thanks!

I don't think they are to hot. They are feathered on the body and we only turn on the light at night and it is not close to them. Will it hurt them to treat them with Corid if I'm not sure?
