Beautiful chickens. I am just hoping some of mine survive. The arrived with problems and I am not sure we have overcome them as yet. I will be ordering more of the SLW's from a different hatchery I will have these in my coop if at all possible. I love what someone was saying about them being...

I have a week old chick that had pasty butt after arrival. When I cleaned the pasty butt a white runny substance started coming from the vent area which also looks protruded. I keep cleaning her up but it doesn't stop. I just noticed that it appears the other chicks with her have it on them. Can...

I have a Light Brahma rooster that has been given the name of Jerk due to his attitude. He behaves for a few days and just when you are least expecting it he will be trying to flog you. I am always on guard with him when I go into feed, water and especially while gathering eggs. He seems to take...

I had seen a post on the water nipples and was intrigued. I had gotten on the site to find the gentleman who sells the nipples and the put together nipple waterer when I found your post.... Thank you so much for your post!....... I went to the link you posted, ordered the nipples and my husband...

I can see that most of you are not concerned with the foods you eat or grow, or for that matter feed your animals or poultry. It is still a free country with freedom of choices. Someone said that if I backed my concerns up with solid information it would be more believable. I have my doubts and...

I have a hen that went broody and we continued to take her eggs out from under her. I was getting ready to fire the incubator up to do a hatch of my light Brahmas but decided to let her sit them instead. She just wasn't giving up her broodiness and I was concerned she would continue to sit so...

I found this discussion quite interesting. You raise your chickens, you eat their eggs and possibly the chicken at some point if you are raising for meat but most of you have no problem with GMO products. GMO, Genetically modified by scientists which are human beings and therefore not without...

Thank you, He is a Brahma and I have noticed he seems a bit aggressive with the Brahma hens as well.

We have chickens of different breeds and sizes in the same coup. Recently our rooster mated with one of the smaller hens and when he got off her she fell over dead within seconds. We have moved the smaller chickens into a different area where there is no rooster. Can the rooster be too large for...

I sold 5 dz. for $2.00 each. Looking forward to Summer and the Farmer's Market. I have been told they were selling for $3.00 a dz. last year.

I was ready to give mine Cayenne pepper but they must have sensed something because they started laying again. A friend told me about it. He said that his mother would make cornbread and add it in, then feed a slice or so a day. I read on here that feeding them hot oatmeal would make them lay. I...

My dog is doing well with being around our chickens, which was a real concern for us in the beginning. She actually helped find one that had gotten out of the coup a few days ago. My concern with feeding her the eggs would be starting her on the road to eating my eggs as I gather them. So far...

I have found a really thin shelled (paper thin) and miss shaped egg two days in a row now. The egg is also fairly large in size. The first day the shell was so thin the egg broke when layed (which is a concern for starting egg eating). I have 9 hens, 7 laying and none of the other eggs looks...

I have a comet that lays a huge egg. That would be the one I would keep my eye on try to catch her in the nest to collect her egg after she lays.
