Hey Rebel Yell, I'm just around the corner from you. Out near Western Alamance High. Do you ever have any Silkie chicks for sale? I need a few girls for my roo.
We'll add more wire around the bottom later, I may trim back some limbs and try to kill some poison oak and move the whole coop back in the edge of the woods a few feet so they can have a little shade. BF is already planning another coop but I told him he needs to wait till its not so dang...
The egg was small like a bantam egg and white, the man who gave them to us has a game bird farm, he hatches everything under the sun, phesants included. This little one is alot smaller than the day olds I got from Ideal.
Dear BF got the bright idea to make a home made incubator out of a coleman cooler and a friend gave us some eggs and one actually hatched!!! Its the smallest chick I've ever seen. We have no idea what it might be, maybe your guys can tell.
Does anyone know where I can find these drugs or something similar for Cocci? 3 dead babies already and I don't want to lose more. I went to TSC, they didn't have it. They did have Sulmet tablets but they were big and hard and very expensive, Farm services didn't have it neither did Southern...
Ok TSC didn't have sulmet or corden. Neither did Fam Services or Southern States.
I called a local man that raises birds here and he said to give them the durimyicyn at least 1 teaspoon per gallon. He says he starts all his chicks on it. TSC had sulmet tablets, the were big and hard and like...
Thanks everyone, going to TSC now, I hope they have the meds. Will clean out their coop as soon as I get back. Already gave them some boiled eggs and they loved it but there are still a couple in there that aren't as active as the others. They were all fine last night around 11pm when I went...
3 week old chicks, 2 dead one dying, were pooping blood. What should I do? Update, the 3rd one just died and it was one of my Blue Cochins. What could this be and could I lose all my babies to this? Please help.
Hey Angie,
I've had chickens for about 5 years now. It all started with a neighbor moving and couldn't take his chickens with him. I had always wanted some. My Grandma had chickens when I was little and I loved going with her to the hen house to collect the eggs so when this guy said he had...
Hey Angiegirl,
I'm right up the road from you in Burlington. Farm Services in Graham usually has chickens. I've bought alot of Red Sex-links from them, they are good layers. They usually have chicks and some that are getting close to laying age. Also there is a place out off Boone Rd. in the...
Thanks everyone, The chicks were from Ideal and they CLEARLY mark the boxes "LIVE CHICKS". My phone number was on the first box in several locations so not much chance they missed it. Not to mention I was calling twice a day to see if they had come in yet. I let them know on Thur. when I...
