I'm having a tough time getting my phone to load to Dropbox at the moment, so I hope to post more pics later. Mille Fleur or Belgians (or are they the same?) D'uucles. Do I have 2 boys? They are 3 months. **********************************************************************

My Mum lives outside city limit proper of Dahlonega on 1.25 acres. She's wanting a few chickens, but neither of us can find anything. The laws & ord page here is quite old (and also misspelled). Anyone in this city/county have chickens or access to a page that discusses the stipulations? The gov...

I went yesterday to pick up my chick order..... I posted here about an unexpected addition..... So here's my count as of right now..... Adult layers: 4 BO (1 is in with 5 4-week old chicks she hatched) 3 Easter Eggers 2 RIR 1 BR New chicks (about 3 days old): 20 White rocks (meat) 2 RIR 2...

I am SO in for a divorce!!!!! Went to pick up 30 meats, 6 layers, 3 poults & walked out with those 39 birds, that ^^^ AND 2 free silkies. I'm in big trouble, yup..... Yeah, yeah I know- Off to learn how to care for the duckie now.

I got a bunch of seeds from wintersown. I want to start growing for the chickens this year & am wondering if any of the following are toxic to chickens. I would also imagine if it says "attracts birds" it would be ok? -Chinese Houses (Collinsia heterophylla) -Forget me not -Purple Prairie...

I was talking to a friend of mine who said sometimes first time momma hens will kill their chicks. She said she's had them get pecked in the head by momma & she doesn't even see it for a couple days, until they die I don't want to yank the chicks form her as soon as they're born, because we...

I have a broody hen. Got some hopefully fertile eggs for her last night & I know I need to give her more protein, since she won't be eating a lot. It was recommended by a friend that I use chick starter, but I was wondering if turkey feed would work as well? My friend wasn't sure if it would...

We got our first egg on Tuesday. Today we got TWO!!! Our whole family is so eggscited!!!!!

So I got my first egg & it was fertilised ..... I asked you guys which of my ee's was a boy ..... Apparently my ee's are girls, and I have a fertilised egg, so maybe one of my standards has been a quiet one & been fooling me all this time? Would one of these be a boy? My pics were coming out...

I'm sorry for coming to you again with the same ee's. I just can't tell with these little buggars. I can tell the standard breeds, but these ones just have me confused. I have an idea of which one is a rooster. And now that I KNOW I have a rooster (fertile egg), I'm desperate to figure out which...

What do you use? Please comment if you choose other.

One of the guys in on our meat order says his grandma used to dunk the chickens in the hot water, then wrap them in newspaper & slide the newspaper off, along with most of the feathers. Anyone ever heard of this? I've tried googling to no avail.

OK, I know some of you have video &/or audio of the the "egg song." PLEASE post them for me. I had two BO girls that were REALLY loud & "singing" when I went to open the coop for them this morning, and they didn't want to get off their roost immediately, but rather sit there & bokbokbok-SQUAWK...

9w2d old. Please tell me I have at least ONE pullet in the mix? I got rid of a roo. KNEW he was a boy- super red comb, HUGE bird, HUGE legs, and LOUD with something of a crow beginning to sound off. I posted pics of him several weeks ago. I cable tied 2 of the legs, because they all look...

OK, these are meat chickens. We (a friend & I) ordered 222 from Welp, they shipped 241 Wed & she picked them up from the PO last night around 11pm. 6 DOA, 1 died overnight & then there's these special needs little guys. The fluffy one is OK, just not active. The 2 that look wet are not standing...

Just trying to see if I have any pullets or suspected pullets in the RIR & BO mix. First pic is the BO I believe to be a roo, so he's on there for comparison. I also have a RIR that has a larger comb that is red at the base. The second you can really see the comb of the suspected RIR roo...

I noticed last night that my EE "roo" has a crooked toe. It doesn't seem to affect his walking & when I touch it, it doesn't bother him. The other foot, the same one is slightly bent, but nowhere near as bad. Any ideas what might be the problem? None of the other chicks have this.... These are...

I was out in the coop tonight, getting the chicks fed, watered, etc for the evening. All of a sudden I feel one of the critters flailing to climb up my back.....

I was just reading on Murray about Cornish X Rocks: "Please Note: These birds are not recommended for raising at altitudes above 5000 feet." What quick growing meat birds are good at almost 7000 feet?
