    Need some reasurrance I did the right thing...

    Hi backyard friends... I am so heartbroken and really in shock. We've had a rough couple of weeks with our pet-family members, I guess I can say. I've had my four Buff Orps since day 1 and they are now about 7 months. Our amazingly gentle sweet collie loved them and would never think of messing...

    How easily can Coryza spread?

    I recently posted about a bird I stupidly bought at a local "farm" this past Sunday. As soon as I got a chance to really look at it after getting home, I realized it was sick. Crusty nose and foul smelling odor. Coryza. Needless to say I have learned a lot since Sunday. At this point I had not...

    Infectious Coryza?? Needing some help

    Thanks so much... I did read the medication option also, but it's my understanding it will always be a carrier :-/ I called the lady that sold her to me, and she is being very helpful. She's coming through town and will take it with her (segregate) and see if she can get it better. I just don't...

    Infectious Coryza?? Needing some help

    So I did a not so smart thing by bringing home a 6 week old Silkie from a "farm" I went to with a friend, that now appears to have Infectious Coryza. Smelly, snotty discharge from the nostril. Not seeing any other possible conditions it could be. My 4 6mo old Buff Orps have not come in contact...

    Woohoo! Have to share

    I've had my girls for about 14 weeks now... I thought I'd really messed up by not keeping them in the coop 24/7 for a few weeks as recommended when they make the move from their brooder. I have been kicking myself because it has been such a struggle chasing them down at dusk to get them in. As...

    Shoot! I think I messed up here :-/

    Yeah, I thought I'd be ok just for the time being, but man, you look it up online and you'd think it was immediate damage! Ok, thank you so much for the quick reply. For future, is there any kitchen items like oats, yogurt, even read cat food?? that could be used in a pinch? Thanks again!

    Shoot! I think I messed up here :-/

    So my daughter (5 years old) and her little friend just dumped all of our chicken's starter feed all over the yard. When I say all over, I mean totally scattered (and I was outside with them pulling weeds and just figured they were just playing with the chickens. arg). It just rained, and of...

    Southern Charm

    I would like to say I had a well thought out plan in the creation of my coop. A design that began with careful reading, thoughtful discussions with others who had done it before, and consideration. But I'd be lying. Because I am the definition of all over the place. Really, with most of my life...

    Is this normal?? New chick mamma!

    Sorry for the late response! Thanks so much for the advice... She ended up being fine. Honestly, I think she was simply exhausted and trying to dig a little and rest! So even when I picked her up and she went to her side, it was her trying to sleep! lol. I've taking the advice and have left them...

    Is this normal?? New chick mamma!

    I have 4 Buff Orpingtons that are just 2 weeks old (first ever chickens). The past few days, I've let them come outside with me and dig and peck in the grass. Maybe 15 min tops at a time. They otherwise stay in their brooder box. One I noticed today, keeps digging/scratching in the pine shavings...
