    Respiratory outbreak cured with vitamin C

    One of my chickens had gotten sour crop and we fed her yogurt with a very limited amount of food, and it seemed to do the trick! There is also a medication called Vet RX that can help with many different types of illnesses, and solved our chickens' respiratory problems. I highly recommend it...

    Breed Suggestions?

    Thank you all for the help! So i guess mixed breeds would be better for me? And has anyone had a golden comet before? Or a plymouth rock? And also I can't seem to figure this out: easter eggers are not ameraucanas? They are just mixed? Thanks for the help!!

    When does "pecking order" begin?

    My head of the pecking order is my smallest BO. she matured very quickly though, with a bright red comb and small eggs starting when she was 20 weeks old! And I think seperating them as said may be a good idea. I don't mean to scare you, but sometimes if they are really bullied, the stress...

    Cockerel amongst my pullets

    I say girl too. By now, the crown would have been a bit more red if it were a boy. One of my BOs had a very red crown starting from about 5 weeks. I Did not find out what the gender was until it layed an egg at 5 months! And yours has a very light pink crown so its most likely a girl.

    Need Help Choosing A Breed?!?!?

    No problem! We have roughly a meter long 2x4 for the 2. Our Jersey Giants rarely sleep on the 2x4 (they usually go to the upper laying area of the coop), but when they do, all of them can squeeze in. They are all fairly small still, so we will probably add another 2x4 for them :). My buffs...
