Two young roos - D'uccle Poreclain D'uccle Mille Fleur need new homes. I am in the Denver metro area and I recently rescued these two gentlemen. They are my first of this breed and they get along perfectly - brothers since back in the egg. I am amateur enough to have thought that there...

Thanks for the tip. I have some blue cote. I think I'll wash the boys, dust them, blue up their pretty toes and see how it goes. They'll have lots of room and no longer have to hide from big alpha roos. It's just them and lots of girls. What darlings they are. Thank you again. Quote: I...

I'm not sure what you mean. As of yesterday they were running free on a farm with many different surfaces. For a few days they are in a HW waterer with pine pellets in quarantine. I will move them out into our giant, fenced garden with two coops and dirt and pellets as the surface. In the...

Yesterday I adopted two young, sweet, beautiful D'uccle cockerels - one porcelain and one milles fleur. My milles has tender feet. I've inspected them and it seems that he has lots of broken feathers that look sore and red at the skin where they connect. Some also seems to have that sheath...

Breezy, Here is the contact information. I have not processed any chickens. But, like I said, I have friends who have used them and really liked them. It only takes about an hour and you can wait - if you're not processing too many birds. They'll even let you watch, if you want/need to...

Sweet, beautiful kitty. How lucky is he! Quote: The only thing worse that a chicken enabler is a cat or dog enabler!! So does that mean you brought home one cat? I don't think anyone will mind if you post a pic! He looks really cute, but I'm already maxed out with 2 cats and 2 dogs...

Everyone I know heads down to Simla. That sounds too far south for you though. They are very quick - while you wait and inexpensive and humane. Quote:

That is the cutest duck ever! I don't have ducks or know where to get them. Good luck though. What a darling! Quote: Fulenwider farms in Hudson has started birds, contact info is on their website http://www.fulenwiderfarms.com/ ETA: Anyone have any runner ducks they'd like to sell? I...

Sterling/Denver... Those really aren't close. But, Murdoch's sells a 50 pound bag. It was a while ago that I bought it but I remember pricing around and it was a GREAT deal. There are a few Murdoch's stores in town. You might find one closer to you than the one in Highlands Ranch on Santa...

Thank you all for the help! I picked up some soluable Tylan 100 g today and will start it right now. Should we avoid the eggs while the girls are taking the antibiotics?

Two days ago one of my one year old hens had a gray, crusty, goopy eye. I flushed it out, separated her and watched. Yesterday her other eye became foamy. This morning, I go to let the rest of my birds out and two of them have the same symptoms. Crusty, closed, inflamed, goopy eyes. For...

Hi there. Just saw your post. I'm in NE Parker. Have you gotten your chicken adventures yet? I'm not an expert, but if I can help, let me know. -Jennifer Quote:

I live in Parker and went a bit overboard when I bought chicks this spring... I might have picked up 30 too many. They are 16 weeks now. If you would take good care of them and have space for them to roam, please contact me and we'll talk about getting some to you. Thank you!

Is this a problem? My gals have been stealing the medicated chick feed I have for the little girls. Do I need to worry about the eggs? I'm not sure what to do about it. Are the eggs safe?

Oh my gosh!!! I just poured in the new bag when the old stuff ran out. We've always done it slowly for the cats and dogs. I didn't even think of that for my chickens. Have I done damage to her??? Quote:

I feel like she is being critical of me...

My 8 week old Brahma gal has been fine up until yesterday. She is having problems standing. She tries to get up on her legs, but then lurches her chest, neck, and head forwards and lies there. She will curl her toes around my finger. But, she doesn't seem to have the strength to push her...

I'm not a breeder or a genetic expert. But, I do know that she is beautiful! Whatever she is, I'm sure you'll enjoy her and her pretty eggs.

Those green legs are lovely! Easter Egger! My favorite!

Can you clean the dried blood off completely? You could move the others out and keep the one gal in the brooder for a few more days to heal. They are cute and cuddly but will pick each other to death. The more they pick the more blood they'll get. The more blood that flows, the more they...
