Quote: Looks like Fowl Pox although with the cloudy eye that makes me think of Mareks. That doesn't look comfortable for her. I'd google both and they have some meds for it. Good luck! T I have a flock of three chickens. If the other chickens are infected, but are showing no signs, are the...

My frizzle cochin is messed up. I thought she was broody because she was by herself and has become VERY aggressive. I went out today to check on them and I noticed her face like this: Can anybody help me identify the problem...... Thank you in advance!!!!!!!!!!

What is going on with my RIR? She is SOOOO LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is louder than the roos I used to have. I don't want my neighbors to start complaining. I mean she is "obnoxiously" loud. At first I thought it was only when she was laying, but now it seems to be constant. Any...

Can adding ACV to the water influence the taste of the eggs a chickens lays? I know it sounds stupid, but if eating certain things can influence the taste, what about the water.

My BR has a problem.......I think........ Her comb is folded over. I have noticed that there is some "loose" droppings in the coop. I am wondering if she might be sick or something? If so.....what do you recommend I do? Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Hey all, Our egg production seemed to be going well. Our RIR was laying , but seems to have stopped. Then all of the sudden we started getting more eggs, but the size of the egg is tiny. It is half the size of a medium size chicken egg. We get one of these almost daily. we have 1 BR, 1...

I am so excited. Our RIR has started laying. I can't wait for Barred rock to lay. My question is how do you store/clean your eggs? Any and all info is greatly appreciated........

My girls just started laying this weekend. Can I finish the bag of start n grow chick feed or do I switch them to Layer feed right away?

I got my second egg today!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH baby! My question is this.....Are there signs/ behaviors right before they start laying the eggs? I found an egg yesterday, but it looked like it had been there for a day or two. I went out this morning..looked in the nesting boxes....and...

Quote: Why stop there......pull out the .50 cal sniper rifle:D I would highly recommend the Taurus "Judge". It is a .45 long colt and .410 shot shell revolver. If you live in the Socialist republic of California....it is banned:( Anywhere else should be good!

I also use an open air coop. I have a coop with three sides and the fourth side opens to their run. I haven't had any problems with the chickens not liking it. It gets real hot here in Central Cal, usually about 106+ in summer. We have had a few days 100+ so far, and no problems with this design.

Hi all, am a questioning the gender of the cochin. I believe that this is a roo. I am a newbie at this at want to get it confirmed. The comb is bigger and the waddle as well. Appreciate the info.

CHickychicky.....I feel your pain. I had to get rid of my rooster too. I found the best way is to "snap" their necks. With out sounding cruel........I just twirled the bird and broke his neck. He will flop around for a few seconds. If that bothers you to watch, then break his neck and walk...

I agree with all the comments. Marking the package fragile is worthless only because machinery can't read ( neither can some of the people they hire). I looked it up the Domestic Mail Manual at www.usps.com and the only thing it says for shipping poultry eggs is to have "special handling" on...

I used this on my coop. The stuff is great. Get the galvanized screws with rubber grommets. They are usually right next to the panels. All you do is screw the panels down just until the rubber expands a bit. I already had my first rainstorm with them and no leaks. Good luck.

Great job! Is that from the "Garden Coop" design. If so...I built the same one and it is a great design. Awesome job on the coop!

Quote: Do they crow even at night?

I hope I posted in the right forum..........What does it sound like when a roo is trying to crow. My roo is making a sound like a high pitch "screeching" sound. He sounds like a teradactyl or something. Is he trying to crow already? He is about 7 weeks old. Please help..... Thanks

Quote: That's what I was thinking.......also what about putting litter boxes under their roosts? This would make cleaning alot easier?

Hi y'all, What are some other alternatives to wood nesting boxes? I know you can make some out of wood, but what about using giant round rubber bowls or something like that? Any thoughts?
