    Red little worms in water and Chicken ill!* UPDATE *

    As far as dusting the birds is concerned, we actually do a "premature shake & bake" as my brother calls it. One person holds the bird (with your hand underneath and fingers holding the legs) and the other puts one of the plastic-y type feed bags with the dust in it over the entire bird except...

    cracked beak

    I had the exact same thing happen to me at the beginning of the year! It was on one of my white wyandotte bantam roos. I kept him in a dog crate till he acted like it wasn't sore anymore and I actually just showed him at the fair yesterday. Just keep her comfortable and keep her away from the...

    Barred Rock Won't Open Her Eyes!

    She is about a year old. We got them from a lady and she said that she started them on medicated feed and wormed them not too long before we got them. The thing that gets me is that she is normally pretty spunky and runs away when you try to catch he and now I can walk right up and grab her...

    Barred Rock Won't Open Her Eyes!

    I have a barred rock hen that has been squinting lately and I really didn't think much of it until yesterday when she wouldn't open them at all. She will open them a little bit when she has to (when she walks around, drinks, eats etc.) but other than that she just sits around with her eyes...

    So I need some ideas.....

    All of these are brilliant ideas!!! I love the idea of jars of coins. I might just have to go bury some... The town we live in used to be famous for glass making, so whenever we go out and dig in the garden or yard we are always finding glass fragments. A couple years back we found one that is a...

    So I need some ideas.....

    I am getting ready to write an essay and the question is (reader's digest version) what are you going to bury in your backyard that your future relatives will dig up in 200 years that is going to bring them so much money that "it will put all their financial worries to rest". I am lacking...

We have a barred rock named Bob-Diddle-Dumb-Fart, she is the meanest chicken ever (my brother named her:idunno) We have a Hawk Attack, Moma, and OCD Moma, Kevin which is a girl, and a Pickles also a girl. We have a pair of black east indie ducks and the...

    what's your faavorite sandwich ????

    I really like a toast and tomato sandwich. Toast with mayo and tomatoes on top. I sprinkle mine with creole seasoning. MMMMMMM...... One of the other things is toasting bread and buttering it sprinkling garlic salt on it and then putting leftover stuffed manicotti on it. Everybody looks at me...

    Broken Beak-- please help!

    He is gonna stay in the garage in a pet carrier. I am like a mother hen and I keep going out and checking on him. He is probably getting tired of running out there. He has also been crowing so that is another improvement

    Broken Beak-- please help!

    So he is doing alright. We have yet to go glue it back on. He is doing a whole lot better today. He is eating and drinking on his own. He is quite spunky which is a good sign. While checking for replies this morning he decided that he wanted to try and eat the mouse on the screen and the icons...

    I it harmful or beneficial to remove the picked-on hen?

    I would remove her. I had a chicken that was getting picked on and I thought the same thing but later regreted it. She had a bad head wound and now is in her own pen with another of my misfits and they are best buddies

    Bad head injury. Any suggestions???

    I have a hen that had the same problem. I put blukote on it and seprated her from my flock. I gave her plenty of treats and she is fine now. The only thing is where they pecked her, there are no feathers one the spot where the wound was. She healed really fast and now has a roomie that was an...

    Broken Beak-- please help!

    I was out doing chores this morning and found one of my White Wyandotte bantams with a broken/ messed up beak. It looks like he might have caught it on the wire of the cage. It is pulled back by his nostrel and looks similar to when you bend your fingernail back behind the quick. He trying to...

    Video Games Good/Bad?

    I think that certain games are okay and others are not. I enjoy playing a game for the Wii called "Just Dance". You are moving around and "dancing" and just having a good time. On the other hand, you have games that are all about killing people and just being genenrally violent. My brother, who...

    Do you play a musical instrument?

    I play piano. I have been playing for several years and I don't practice near enough. If I actually put some time into it, I could be better. I played the flute for about 6 months quite a few years ago. But I wasn't good at it. The dog howling whenever I practiced was an indicator... I wish I...
