Thanks for the responses........ Is there anyway for me to know for sure if her neck is indeed broken or if she is just holding it that way for some reason that I am unaware of without causing her undue stress or additional injury?

Hi, I have had my 4 girls for about a year and a half now (2 golden comets, 2 Isa Browns). We have never had predetor problem or issue prior to this, so I had gotten a little lax on their security (the guilt is killing me). Anyway, this morning I went out to find all the girls against the back...

I want to give you shippers a heads up on marking the outside of the package fragile/Handle w/Care, etc....... I work in the transportation industry and worked for several years with drivers who handle packages for a large city outer distribution center. Whenever a package is marked...

I have read on this site that the fumes from the cedar can be toxic to chickens, so no, I wouldn't use cedar chips. A lot of people on this site just use paper towels for the first few days changing then daily and then pine chips or something similar. Hope that helps! Good Luck w/your...

I think that the first couple of eggs are a surprise even to the pullet who lays them. After the first couple in the run, my pullet who just started laying, then started laying in the nest like the other 3. If you have others who are already laying it is easier as they see them go into the...

I thought breathing in cedar fumes was bad for chickies??

Loving this thread! I'm so excited that I am not the only one thinking this way.......well, I figured I wasn't, but it's nice to see other people's thoughts on it validating mine. I have been trying to gently nudge my DH in this direction for about a year now. I am now trying to convince...

Yeah, those both look like pullets to me.

Mine are Mabel Gertie Peanut & Toad LOL! Yes, I know the first 2 have regular names and the 2nd 2 don't......Got Mabel and Gertie first (2 golden comets a year old) then added 2 ISA Brown pullets (who are now 18 wks old) about 2 months later. The 2 younger ones went without names for...

Wellllll..............I actually posted on here a few weeks ago that my chickies must not like to free range because all they did was hang out at the coop. A lot can change in a few weeks! Give 'em an inch and they'll take a mile. I have a backyard that is about an acre of rolling land with...

Do you use the DE (food grade) in the feed? I found that to be essential. Just FYI

I'm both...... Legal to have 2 - I have 4. Tell me what kind of town makes it legal to have 2 (!) chickens? They were so lonely, I had to get 2 more - now I want to start hatching....HELP! I'm addicted and I can't quit. If it helps, the neighbors haven't said word one about it? GEL

I've had 2 for 2 possible everyday for the last 2 weeks! I can't wait till my 2 juvies add to it! They will be 18 weeks tomorrow so it could be any day now.......or a month..........lol. One looks like she is ready comb and wattles are red, the other is coming along slower. Her comb is not...

I live in Brownsburg (NW of Indy) and in town. They allow 2 chickens........2.......argh!

AHappychick Yesterday 10:37 pm yes I got organics brand garden lime from the nusery. it came in a small bag about $3.50 make sure you get that kind though it is pelletted for easy application. I put it down the other day and it made a huge difference. Great! Thanks Happychick, I will try...

First full day today without rain here in Central Indiana in I don't remember when!! Our back yard still has yet to be mowed as it has not dried out enough yet YET as in hasn't been mowed AT ALL! - it's like a huge marshland and every time my hubby tries to mow it, he comes running into the...

So funny! I thought that my ISA Brown pullet was the only one.......I have 2 and they are starting to get their 'big girl' voices and one sounds completely normal and started talking to me one night when I was locking them up for the night then I started talking to 'Toad' and she looks up and...

Do you have a pop door? If not, sounds like you need to put something to act as a door to shut them in for a day or so - once they get that it is their home and they have a roost in there to sleep, and food to eat and water to drink, they will get the hang of it - right now it sounds like they...

Need to see this as well!!

Just giving you a bump, as I have no idea how to help, but if we keep the post up there, maybe someone who does know will see it and be able to share their good advice! Good Luck!
