Where can I purchase crushed or ground oyster shell. 'MY local feed stores do not carry them. I'm missing this in offering to my girls.
How do I know if they need to be wormed?
Hi there,
My girls will literally not drink for 3 days off the nipple waterer so I place the old plastic waterer back in and they literally stay there and drink for 30mins!!!! Needless to say my feed store said if I took out the water source and show the girls the nipple waterer they'd take...
When you say deformities what are you talking about? Extra toes? I think my silkies have extra toes and compared to my 2 RIR, 2 BO and 1 Laced Wydonette.
This is how they were coming home. I didn't notice the extra toes :( But they are still cute as ever. I love the silliness that...
Hi everyone,
I'm stooped on what to do with the chickies at night in the coop. Do you have a light on in there for them? Are they in the dark? Do you have a small water and feeder in there for them? This weekend I should be able to put the kids out in the large coop after fixing all the...

I realize the age of this thread but I have 1 silkie and one Laced that has pastey butt. If I give the ACV in the water is it okay that my other 5 chickens whom don't have pastey butt drink the same water or do I need to separate the pastey butt girls?
I layered a nice cover of bag balm under her wing and top of her wings. Because it made the area darker now now all of them pecked at her and then shook their beaks and rubbed them on the towels to wipe off the bag balm
