    What is this eye disease spreading through my flock? PICS

    My chickens looked exactly like this on Wednesday. I took one to the vet. He didn't know what it was but gave me a broad spectrum antibiotic. It seems to be working very well. He now thinks it might be mycoplasma. I haven't really noticed any respiratory problems though. Mine are pets so I'm...

    Newbie with possible sick birds...please help

    Hey, I have been doing a lot of research in the last couple of days because my birds are also sick. They have swollen faces and look jaundiced. They were also losing a lot of feathers, not eating, or drinking, and lethargic. Anyway, as I was researching I came across the specific symptoms you...

    Hey Southerners! Sweet Tea Recipe Please!

    Sorry KristenH, but Lipton, yuck! I love Tetley! My friend actually told me there is a punk song about how much yummier Tetley is than Lipton. I have been in California since 1999 but I order Tetley online 'cause I'm addicted, or my mom sends me some from my home state GA.

    NW California

    Hey, I'm in Delnorte, in Hiouchi! I am so glad to find someone so nearby. Usually when people say Northern California they don't really mean it. You can't get much more northern than this.

    Which breed do you think is most affectionate?

    My chicks are only 12 days old, but this is how they act so far. Our Buff Opington is so sweet .She always jumps into your hand when you reach into the brooder. She then nestles down in your hand and won't get up until you make her. I think my Frizzle bantam gets jealous because she will fly up...

    I'm sorry.....one more obituary....SHE'S OK!!!

    I am so very sorry. I also lost a beautiful baby, Friday at about 11 p.m. She was a 4 day old porcelatin d'Uccle bantam. I named her Heaven because she was heavenly beautiful. Now she is in Heaven, after such a short little life. It's so sad! I also feel responsible because she had to travel...

    COMMUNITY PROJECT: Let's Design The Perfect Coop!!!

    I have 9 chics arriving tomorrow. I originally only wanted 3 or so, but got greedy. My problem was $ and sense. I needed something inexpensive, but easy enough that an amateur could build it. I also wanted my girls to be pastured so they would be happy and safe. After days of constant searching...

    Where to buy chicken coop.

    I found a free plan and used it to build a pretty cool chicken tractor. Well, I'm in the process of building it, I should say. Actually, the plan was for a green house but the guy that built it also has one for chickens. Here is what I have so far: It still needs wire, a door, some perches...

    dominique bantams

    Have you ever been to mypetchicken.com? They have all sorts of really cool bantams and they are sexed at a day old. Apparently it is the only site on the web that does that with bantams, they usually come straight run. I just ordered 9 girls, 6 bantams and three standards. I was only wanting 3...
