    If you have a dog.....

    I've got 2 Blue Heelers/Austrailan Cattle Herding dogs. Zip is 12 and a little slow but with great herding instinct and Jinx is 6, full of energy, and no herding instincts. I had a problem in the beginning because they wanted to chase the chickens and the poor birds would collapse and die...

    How to get eggs to hatch?

    It just freaks me out to think of someone eating a chicken I have hand raised. They are my BABIES for heaven's sake! So I post ads in the "classifieds" for the local university employees and the folks at the hospital where I work. I specify that I am looking for a GOOD home and make them swear...

    Desperately Seeking Silkie Roo

    I'm not the one who lives too far away. I'ts ya'll! Iowa? I'm not even sure I know where Iowa is. Wait a minute....that probably made me sound pretty dumb. Anyhoo, thanks ya'll for thinking of me and my fuzzies. They are still leaving a space for him between them at night when they nest...

    How to get eggs to hatch?

    Thanks Sooner! I might just go ahead and seperate Fuzz, nest and all, so she can have some peace and quiet. I do have one hen, Slash, that all of a sudden hates everyone and pecks at them. She especially picked on Fuzz before she started settin'. Might be a good idea indeed to go ahead and...

    How to get eggs to hatch?

    Oh BLESS YOU! I have not been interferring, per say. But I am dying of curiosity and have to keep checking to see if we have little miracles when the time gets closer. I get SO excited. I think that motherhood, though instinctual, is also learned. So she might have a better time of it this...

    How to get eggs to hatch?

    My hen, Fuzz the Buff Orpington, had decided it's time to set again. So I let her. She and one other hen have set in the past but with a horrible success rate. Clucky had 4 to hatch/semi-hatch, but only 1 lived past the getting out of the egg stage. Fuzz had 3 to totally hatch, one died and...

    silkie won't come out of the coop

    This is an old post but I'm sure, a recurrent problem. Happened to my ladies. Try making or buying a "hen saddle" or "chicken apron". This protects the backs of the ladies when they are receiving the....umm....attention from the roo's. Also, I use a Pedipaw to trim my roosters toenails and...

    chicken law for Greenville, NC?

    I'm assuming she lives in the city limits? I live in Greenville too but outside of town and I have 14. If she wants to know where NOT to get chicks locally, then tell her to email me. I have gotten several birds from one man who sells a whole lot of poultry around Pitt Cty and they were...

    Help! Silkie w/ Unexplained Head Movements

    I have an 8 week old buff Silkie named Geffen. Geffen is a healthy and chirpy little fella except for one thing. When he shakes his head, he has this weird head-bobbing thing he does. It normally starts when he is shaking off after a dust bath or shaking his head to break a treat into pieces...

    possible predator attack neck injury help please!

    The exact same thing happened to my broody mom, Clucky. She got attacked and run off her nest. I brought her inside because I had no other way to seperate her at the time. I kept her quiet and calm and after 2 weeks, she has rejoined the flock with her brand new chick. She was purple and...

    chicken has a sniffly nose!!!!!

    Hi there! I had the same problem with several of my girls when I first got them. I just seperated them from the rest and gave them some antibiotics in their water. This cured what was ailing them. I got my antibiotics from the Tractor Supply Store and I found out the dosage on this website...

    It's so great to know that I am not alone! Thanks to all for your comments and advice. I have seperated my two roosters and rotate them in and out of the "time out" coop. Things have calmed down a bit. Poor Fuzz, she also comes running and jumps into my arms to get away from the randy Roo...
