    They ate a dead flock member!

    Thank you so much for your reply, ChickenCanoe, and for the resources. I will heed your advice!

    They ate a dead flock member!

    Oh, why are chickens so gross sometimes? One of my hens was sick (lethargic, with green diarrhea) so I separated her from the flock, putting her into a dog kennel in the corner of the barn with a heat lamp. I gave her some electrolytes in her water and oatmeal with some DE and cayenne pepper...

    Messed up order: what kind of chicks DID I get?! Lemme hear your guesses.

    Now that's the way to look at it! Thanks, silverfox. :-)

    Thanks, everyone. I guess I'll just wait and see what they turn out to be. I may never know, as here's the full list of sex link / production birds to choose from: Production Red RIR New Hampshire Cherry Egger Red Sex Link Cinnamon Queen Golden Comet Red Star

    Messed up order: what kind of chicks DID I get?! Lemme hear your guesses.

    So, the farm store and hatchery that I ordered my chicks from messed up the group order: 800 baby chicks were shipped and not labeled. The store spent the whole morning separating the orders the best they could—with no books and without looking up pictures the internet. (When I asked why...

    "debris" inside the egg??

    I found one of these today, too -- just a small pea-sized, gray "stone" looking thing. YUCK. Has anyone found out what it is?!?

    I am a country girl, born and raised. I've been raising chickens for 20 years. What started as a 4-H project became a life-long addiction. Now, the more the merrier! Right now I have a dozen (give or take) chickens gracing my backyard, providing fresh eggs and hours of entertainment. I have...

    Post here if you DON'T wash clean-looking eggs

    I don’t wash any clean-looking eggs. They already come out of the nest clean and perfect as is. The occasional dirty eggs (due to rainy days and dirty feet) get a mini-sponge bath, and then get donated to a wildlife rehabilitation organization a few miles up the road from my house. They...

    How much longer should I keep this up? Impacted Crop

    Just want to give everyone an update on my hen that had the ginormous impacted crop. Last November, after two months of treatment and reaching a dead-end with surgery as the only option left, I decided to let the hen rejoin the flock and let nature take its course. She was so miserable eating...

    I would NOT want to faint in a chicken coop!

    I'm so happy to have found this thread!!! I wear crocs to the barn in the summer, and two of my hens rush my feet the moment I walk in the door. They are out for blood!!!

    How much longer should I keep this up? Impacted Crop

    Quote: I have, but there is no way I could do it myself. I'm squeamish just watching people get shots, let alone performing surgery.

    How much longer should I keep this up? Impacted Crop

    Not so good. There's been absolutely no change to the plum-sized mass of a crop. I'm starting to wonder if she ate something plastic? She's still active and not sick, and does pass some waste every day. Although she walk funny, raising her legs really high, as if she knows something is...

    How much longer should I keep this up? Impacted Crop

    Thank you thank you BWchicken!!!!! I will cut out the grit. And I will give her some mashed-up skinless tomatoes with some olive oil and mashed up egg. I'll let you know how it goes!

    How much longer should I keep this up? Impacted Crop

    Quote: In the morning her crop is a hard mass that I can move around. It's definetely not like the other chickens' which is completley flat and empty. I'm going to do as you suggest and give her some scrambled eggs...she definitely needs some weight on her before the cold weather comes...
