    Easter egg chickens

    I just sold 4 Easter egg roosters. All were different colors. Some of these roosters are not nice. I have a hen that is really bad. You do not put your hand in the nest box for eggs. She will peck to to death. I have to use a glove and she just keeps pecking the glove. She is the only bad one...

    Rhode Island Reds

    They are mean. I tried every trick in the book on my male and he only liked me. So it was real hard when we went away. The first girl was good, she knew how to handle him. Then she went away to college. The second girl was scared to death of him, and he knew it. Marilynn

    The returning Sparrow

    I could not discourage the Sparrow and I got red mites. I use diamateous (i forgot how to spell the word).for the mites and I'm hoping the bird will get a douse of it on her feathers and it will protect her. This is the second time this season she has returned. So lets hope this works. Do you...

    I'm not happy. I wanted to start a conversation and it wanted me to put in friends. Well I'm new and I have not asked anything for a long time. Plus I didn't have a computer from Jan of this year till about three weeks ago. So I don't like that. I'll just look on the internet for my answers...

    Can You Keep Young (8 wk) Chickens in Freezing Climates?

    I have a huge roll of the black stuff you use in pond pots or the flower beds. Thank you, GOOD IDEA. It is getting chilly now so I'll work on it next week. I also asked my husband to please put some cinder blocks under the dog house to make it a little higher. I took out the roosts I had in the...

    Can You Keep Young (8 wk) Chickens in Freezing Climates?

    I never thought about them eating the Styrofoam. I'm just worried about them. I could put the Styrofoam on the outside of the fencing? Maybe? Well, I'll think of something. Thank you so much for answering me. M

    Can You Keep Young (8 wk) Chickens in Freezing Climates?

    Thank you everyone. I only have one coop and I have three hens that my Reds will not except. I have tried twice and both times they pinned them down and just pecked on them. So I put them back in the extra dog run I have. They have been there almost all summer and I tried the other day and I got...

    Adult Chicken missing a middle toe

    Where do they sleep at. I put a dog house in the pen and filled it full of pine shavings and they all go in there and play around, but never sleep there. I need to take my rabbit cage out of that pen and then that board will be gone. Marilynn

    Adult Chicken missing a middle toe

    Opps. The sore is not her toe, that was healed when I got her. The Reds pecked a spot at the base of her tail. It is healed, but the new feathers have not come in yet. Sorry Marilynn

    Adult Chicken missing a middle toe

    My Adult Black Star is missing a middle toe. She came to me from my daughter like this. My Reds picked on her and I moved her till she was a little bigger and the sore healed. Well I noticed the other night she does not roost? Is this going to be a big problem? She shares a 10 X 10 pen with a...
