    Dogs good with chickens

    I have a Corgi and she grew up with the chickens. They pick on her if she gets in their way. She is a great girl with them and even scares off hawks. She is pretty fierce with those 4" legs! I also have a 14 yr old mix that never had chickens until this last year. He could care less about...

    If vaccinated for Cocci, can they still get it?

    I've lost 3 broiler chicks that are 2.5 weeks old. They were vaccinated for Cocci and Marek's disease and came from MurryMcMurry. All three have been fluffed up, standing still, eyes closed. I've not seen any bloody stool. I've given them appropriate food/water/space/light. They've also had...

    Egg dissolved

    I was just coming here to look for the same thing! One of my girls have been laying a weird thin, egg on the ground but I've yet to see who it was. Tonight in the coop, I was doing my regular chicken butt count and saw my girl "poop". It was runny and sloppy and when I investigated, it was an...

    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    We hope to restore it. We moved here in the fall and have been consumed with our garden and chicken house (oh and our flock of children too). The barn is 100 years old or more but the foundation is broken in places. I hope it is still up when we can afford to fix it :) Until then it will hold...

    Half Monitor Style Coop and mini greenhouse

    Our Coop was built this spring with help from a contractor and my husband. We built a 12x16x8 Coop using the base plans from the book How To Build Chicken Coops on Amazon From there we poured a concrete base to attach the coop to. We live in the middle of the prairie and corn fields so wind...

    Gardens & Coop design questions

    I have two pens that both have access to the big garden and I rotate my flock from pen to pen to let the ground heal and give them something new each day. On hot days, they have them both. My girls were too little in the spring to go out into the garden but now they can. I sure appreciate...

    GRIT. Do I need this now? Chicks about one week old.

    I was told to by my hatchery (McMurry). They get a dusting of chick grit a few times a day. I have 27 so maybe less with fewer chicks.

    2 week chick with scaly legs?

    Oh! I use good quality feed. That is so strange that the rest are fine. Thank you. Any suggestions to what I should do? Does natural selection need to happen or this too late? I'm going to assume it is from the egg stage as our food is high quality. My husband is a (beef) nutritionist...

    2 week chick with scaly legs?

    Hi! One of my 27 chicks has something wrong with her. She is half the size of the other flock members. Her legs are either deformed or has scaly legs. She also has a weird hard spot in her neck. My four year old spotted blood on her comb and she has been removed from the flock since. Yet she...
