    Crusty Ear Help!

    Got the same issue with my roo. And it smells infected. So I'm going to drop some peroxide in there and see what happens. I think it's an ear infection.

    Chick dust bath?

    I've been putting chunks of grass from the yard in with them. And I let them run around the yard too. I just want them to be happy lol.

    Chick dust bath?

    So permethrin dust in the pan with sand from my stall would be ok? I've got a rooster currently (he was dumped on the next block a few years ago and he grew on us). I could use it for him too.

    Chick dust bath?

    Seems like it's all ok then. When you say permethrin dust, are you referring to sevin dust (from the garden section)? These are chicks, so I don't want to put anything in that could hurt them.

    Chick dust bath?

    I don't have a chinchilla, but being in south Florida, nobody has a furnace lol. I can get de from the feed store pretty cheap. The dust bath is either finely ground up pumice or aluminum silicate? I'm wondering if I couldn't just get the sand out of my horse stall now that I think of it......

    Chick dust bath?

    I've got 3, two week old barred rock pullets who seem to be trying to dust bathe in the pine shavings. Could I use the chinchilla dust bath for them, or is there a magic formula y'all use? First time with chicks here, and I'm just trying to do it right.

    Duck Breed Focus - Muscovy

    Down here in South Florida they're EVERYWHERE. I mean all over. I try to explain their benefits to people usually to no avail. Most of the population sees them as a nuisance and a pest. I love them. Wish I could get some, but have to wait a while. Love the pictures though.

    How do you keep a rooster at home?

    Also, please keep in mind that I did not go and get a rooster to keep as a pet. This guy was dumped in my neighborhood and was being shot at with bb guns. I brought him here to stop that from happening, and realized he wasn't a nasty, kick me rooster. Hence how I came to love his feathered butt.

    How do you keep a rooster at home?

    I'm in the process of closing in a stall, but with the way my barn is its not as easy as just adding mesh. I'm in south fla, and it's a pole barn that isn't fully enclosed. Clipping his wings deterred him from fence hopping, but he is just finishing a molt. I have to wait for the feathers to...

    How do you keep a rooster at home?

    Finding another home will be almost impossible. And here's the picture of the "leghorn". Why you quoted it I don't know.

    Keeping Chickens Free Range

    I have a barn cat that had brought me all manner of dead presents, but she's left the roo alone. I'd be a bit worried if I had chicks, but with the full grown chickens, she knows their pretty much bigger than her.

    How do you keep a rooster at home?

    I AM keeping him in a cage right now. Maybe I wasn't clear about that. And he didn't start out as my rooster. He was dumped in the neighborhood, and was being shot at with bb guns on the next block. I went and moved him to our street, and he chose mine and my neighbor's barns. My neighbor won't...

    How do you keep a rooster at home?

    I have a single chicken. A leghorn roo. How do I keep him in my barn/pasture, and keep him from jumping the fence to my neighbor's yard/barn? He has no chickens, but my roo insists on going to his barn. And he hates him. I don't have a coop, and predators aren't really a problem. There's...

    How To Get Rid Of A Rooster?

    I'm trying to re-home a rooster as well. I have no coop, and he's decided my neighbors barn is where he's going to hang out when he's not home eating. He's a beautiful leghorn, and he's not nasty. He roosts in the rafters of the neighbors barn and they aren't appreciating his droppings. I didn't...
