    Egg Bound or Something Else

    BTW, Thank you SO much for all your advice you have given me. She would probably not have made it this far, if not for your responses. So, thank you...thank you...thank you Eggcesive!

    Egg Bound or Something Else

    Was the only "organic" decision to let her die? Somehow that doesn't seem fair. What other options did I have? I asked the vet when I was there with her, I told him that up to that point, she had been raised organically. He said "if I treat her like an organic chicken, she will die. So I am...

    Egg Bound or Something Else

    UPDATE I took Lola to the vet this afternoon. He said she is not egg bound. He gave her Baytril Injection and sent 4 more home with me. He said there was no way of knowing the source of the infection without doing a post mortum. (I pray that isn't necessary) He said it is very possible that...

When I picked her up...

But 1 has gotten a very large comb.And looking at pictures of this breed, he looks more rooster than hen. But he isn't dominant either, which I assumed roosters would be. No crowing yet and he...

    1st Timer's Introducing (15) 8 wk old girls to (9) 12 wk old girls

    Yes, the 2 6'x6' runs are connected with a "people" door between them. The picture doesn't show it but we have connected the smaller coop to one of the 6'x6' runs and the big coop is connected to the other. They have been beside each other for a little over a week now. We feed "treats" in the...

    1st Timer's Introducing (15) 8 wk old girls to (9) 12 wk old girls

    Here is our main question: Will introducing a larger number of younger birds into an older flock make the integration easier or harder?Here is our situation: We have 9 girls that are 12 weeks old in a large coop and run. We have 15 girls that are 8 weeks old in a small coop and run that shares a...
