    Crookneck, Marek's or Botulism -- please advise!

    Sending you good vibes that all is well. We have dealt with M before and it was not pretty. We had two that recovered but lost about 11, it was a long process. We had them in a seperate chicken run and had not introduced any into our general flock thank goodness. It was pretty far away...

    Does this topic break your heart too?

    It is hard and very sad. On occasion we have one or two that hatch with problems and we know they can not be put in with their counterparts so we do our best with them and a few have survived and make great pets. I really hate it when one becomes injured and there is nothing I can do but put...

    When you think of a Homestead...

    I think about being independant the best one can be with what they have. We have 18 acres but most is covered with mesquite and catclaw so we can do nothing with it until we get the money up to have it cleared or get a tractor to clear it ourselves. We have dairy goats, chickens, turkeys...

    too many roosters

    Craigslist as suggested and here we have a buysaletrade site that we use and many times you can put a flyer up at the local feed store. Don't feel bad about them being scrawny that just means they will get a good home (people always think they can do better even when they are just young and...

    Heat killing chickens

    Is there a way to salvage the meat? We have been checking about every hour or two...would you go ahead and butcher if you know it was the heat? How long would be too long? It seems like each time we have lost another or two......its almost 7 p.m. and we are still reading 110. We have misters...

    How do you hang this waterer?

    We have a few like that and we find the center point and then use a carabeaner clip and put a bit of taper on either side to keep it from sliding side to side. By using a carabeaner clip it is easy to detach and clean your waterer.
