I have 15 9 month olds. They are fed early in the morning (around 5:30am) giving them 16% protein layer feed to which I add a little bit of cracked corn in their wet mash we make up for them. When cleaning their poop board and gathering eggs (usually around noon) I have to get them out away...

I have 15 eight month old pullets. Great egg layers, all healthy etc. Cold weather is here where I live so during our winter preps we purchased a metal double wall waterer and the warmer to go underneath it. We were using the red bottom plastic 3 gallon waterer before that. I put the metal...

With winter approaching remember to have stored water on hand. Frozen, busted pipes. Frozen busted water mains. Downed trees. Blizzards, snow storms. You name it, it can happen and catch you unprepared for those emergencies for yourselves and for your livestock. Also, don't forget to...

OK, so if you would please clear up my confusion. I have 15 7 month old pullets. I'm preparing to winterize and my concern is about the floor of the run. It's a 12 x 14 covered roof run with a dirt floor. Every night we go out and scrape up the poo from the floor of the run. I'm thinking...

I have a humidity monitor in my coop. It's my first winter with them and was wondering what the best range of humidity inside the coop would be. I have 15 7 mo. old pullets. I have good ventilation, 2x4 roosts and have a poop board. The coop is wooden with a wooden floor, 8x8 square with...

Hi everyone. I'm so sorry I haven't gotten back to y'all regarding my leghorn that had EYP. I decided to give her one more day to see if she was going to pull herself out of it. I really didn't hold much hope after reading all the great info Kikigirls gave me. (Thank you so much). Everyone...

I have a six-month-old leghorn pullet that is acting sick. She is lethargic but will walk a little bit but mostly just kind of stands in one place. When I put them out for their evening free range she wasn’t interested in eating grass which is very unusual for her. When she walks it looks like...

I have a 6 month old leghorn that has so far been laying daily with no issues until today. When I let them out for their free ranging just before going to roost I noticed her suddenly walking all fluffed up and kind of straining like she was constipated. When I started to pick her up an egg...

…. is so stinking hard to do and it's not for everyone. When it's necessary, it's our responsibility. RIP Opal :hit:hit:hit

I have a 5 mo. old Leghorn that was a victim of an over zealous rooster that got rehomed yesterday. :hit I've been putting antibiotic ointment on it for a couple weeks. When I first noticed it there was just a couple little nicks in it but I'm of the pro-active type and wanted to head infection...

I have finished a 14 day of 1/2 t. Corid per gallon of water which was after a 14 day of 2T. per gallon for coccidiosis. It was a bad out-break. I know you're supposed to give vitamins and electrolytes following such treatment. All I can find right now is Save-A-Chick Vitamins and...

I have 17 chicks (16 hens, 1 rooster) that are 4 months, 2 weeks old. While taking care of them last week I fell and broke ribs and really injured myself. Hubby has been helping but last Saturday, he injured his back. We've talked together and made a difficult decision. Given our health and...

I've been treating (successfully) for coccidiosis. I'm on day 7 treating with 2 teaspoons Corid per gallon of water. Tomorrow I will begin a 7 - 14 day treatment of 1/2 teaspoon per gallon. It's been really hot and humid here in central Indiana and it's going to be hot and humid for the...

I have 17 chickens that are 3 months, 3 weeks and 2 days old. I'm on day 6 of treating for coccidiosis with Corid of which they are recovering, not completely but definitely doing better. I've been reading other posts and have seen some pictures from posters who are being told they need to...

My chickens are 3 months, 3 weeks and 2 days old. So far to my knowledge there are 16 hens and 1 rooster. He's a big one too, much bigger than the others, but I think he's a mix. He looks just like a brahma but without the leg feathers. No one can tell me what he is but I have been told he's...

My chickens are three months and two weeks as of today. Today we are on day four of treatment for coccidiosis. I am using 2 teaspoons of corridor per gallon of water every day and mixing up a mash of their feed with the cord water. Nobody has ever acted sick or listless or anything. I happen...

I have recently switched to a gas range from a glass top electric. I do a lot of canning. The canner I was using says to not exceed 12,000 BTUs. The burners on my gas range are all 15,000 to 18,000 BTUs. My husband says that turning down the burners will change the BTUs. I say it won't work...

Meet Indy.

I'm not sure this is in the right place. Please forgive me if it isn't. I don't have the right cord to download pictures from my phone to my computer and I need to post pictures. I'm not very tech savvy but I'm trying, sorry. :confused:
