Thanks, theres a nice wooded area out by my girlfriends a couple of hours away.

Well, Believe it or not I caught the hawk that has killed 10 of my chickens in the last month. How far do I have to take him to release him away from my girls? J

I am proud to say that I got a border collie/ i think spaniel mix (they said she was a lab mix) from petfinder.com and she is great with the chickens. I am presently teaching her to round them up for me and she can come right up on them and not hurt them. Bunnies might be another story, she...

I would raise him up. At least you know what your getting and at the first sign of aggression you can get rid of him. I had a little roo that tried to jump on my back when I bent down to feed the girls. He was only a few weeks old. Got rid of that little helion quick. Now I have a new flock...

THanks, I'll take that advice and I understand why. I am sad. J

Thanks for the quick response, they are still in my dining room and I can't wait to get them out. J

I am putting 6 week old chicks in the coop with a heat lamp, if the cold outside the coop is 38 degrees will the heat lamp be enough for them? Thanks, J

Thanks so much. I have been cleaning the coop every day since Feb to keep up. I appreciate the advice and will heed it. Thanks again. J

Yeah, I understand. Being a newbee I closed the vents for part of the winter. God, I feel so stupid. It was so cold and I was so worried about them getting cold I didn't realize what I was doing. Do you think I should still treat the flock? I have duramycin on hand and I have to put babies...

Hi everyone, Well, I had a run of a cold through my coop and I while I was debating (stupid me) whether to use antibiotics or not I lost a couple of chickens. The old ones. Now spring is here and everyone else seems to be okay. Do you think I should still treat the flock or do you think the...

If I have 1 or 2 of the chickens out of 40 with symptoms, should I treat the whole flock or just get rid of the ones that have it? thanks, J

I was just on the website for Durmaycin figuring out the dosage and it says not to give to layers. Is that right. I got the suggestion from here. what do you guys recomend. My girls are having respiratory problems, help please. Thanks, J

If I give Duramycin, can we still eat the eggs? I just assumed I would not be able to. J

Do you think if I treat the flock with Sulmet it will work? J

Thanks, I'll work on it. I hate to separate the chickens because it's 9 degrees here right now and only the one coop it heated. Thanks so much. J

I have had two chickens come up with a bubbly eye and one closed. I have cleaned them and treated them with triple antibiotic ointment. What is this and do I need to treat the flock. The antibiotic seems to help and clear it up, but I don't want to contaminate the whole flock. Thanks, J

Thanks everyone. J

Okay, It is very cold here in New Jersey and I have 30 babies coming in two weeks. If I put them in the dining room, are they going to permanently stink up my house? J

The hens are the roo have all grown up together, but he is coming into his own. He just started crowing. They are all from about June. I'm not even sure if the rooster did this, I just find it strange that two chicken have come up with similar wounds in 4 days. Do you think it's the roo. I...
