Hey, I thought my banty cochin had mareks. Even though she was limping, she would drink and eat and love to limp to see us, even though she was going to get picked on and possibly mounted, recently, by another lower hen. Today, I spent time with her and thought, what if I feel her legs, are they...

Hey there,
So we read somewhere that for three days, when introducing a new coop, you have to keep them in there for three days so they don't try to escape and recognize that it is a safe, homey environment for their protection. I'm not sure how big your coop is or how many chickens you have...
It was either a headlamp secured with a hook on the cord or the heated waterer.I really think it was the waterer. It was hanging as well, but when it was burning that was where the hole the chicken escaped from was.
We just had a coop fire and lost most of our pet chickens... It truly is heart breaking an has been a horrific Christmas day. Could you possibly tell us what you thought was the most helpful way to treat the wounds? Right now we have no coop for the survivors (4 out of 25).... We had to put...

Hi there,
I'm so happy to hear more of us in Kansas City are getting chickens.
I love my girls. We thought about going to Heartland but instead checked out Craigslist and drove to Atlanta, MO. We got 2 bantam gold laced cochins, an olive egger, four lavender orpingtons, and a porcelain...
cdonze43,
I look at a website called chickenchick.com
She says just use apple cider vinegar. Way better than bleach. She said she does it commonly. She also says she uses sand and sifts daily. I really need to switch to sand. It would be cleaner and cheaper.
Gilmore,
I thought everyone else was getting mostly pullets. I talked with a neighbor's niece and she bought her chickens from stores as well and she got 6 pullets and one roo out of it. Only having to part with one that you hand raised from a chick is great. We got rid of roosters named...
Last year, I got stung my two bees. One on the shoulder and one on the arm. The next week, I was caring for my tomatoes and looked up just to see a wasp dive bomb me. He must have gotten me five times on the other arm. WOW! Wasps are way worse than bees. This year I haven't been bait...
I believe that is either a splash or porcelain. We just got a porcelain bantam d'ucla and it looks like that but without the tan. It has spots of lavender. So cute but they get dirty very quickly, with the feathered feet and low held wings.
