Right now we can not have chickens. What I need is anyone around the Stonington area that your town or village allows chickens please let me know. I am trying to compile a list of the area that allows backyard chickens to take before the village board. Thanks for any help

I havent been on for a while but in the past they have done lots of swaps. Try looking under hatch a longs

I have found that DE works as a preventitive but when you have an infestation it takes to long to work well. Then I use seven dust.

Not sure if anyone is interested, but there is going to be a GMO labeling event in Normal June 20th at 10am the more people we get there the better Thursday, June 20, 2013 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM Bone Student Center, Illinois State University, Normal, IL 61761 Bone Student Center, Illinois...

Does anyone need a rooster? I have 3 that I am trying to rehome. 2 are americauna/silver laced wyandotte mixes and one is a Polish/silkie mix. I need these boys gone as they are driving my girls crazy and I am not really suppose to have roosters and 3 crowing is not good. They were hatched in...

I have 3 very beautiful and amorous roosters that need new homes. They are driving my girls crazy. 2 are Americauna/Silver Laced Wyandotte mixes and the other is a Polish/Silkie mix. They were hatched in October. If you are looking for boys with long blonde hair these are the boys for you.

I dont know if anyone has heard but there is a Million March against Monsanto to promote labeling of GMO foods if anyone is interested. It is May 25 in Springfield at the state capital at 2 pm. This is a world wide march and many states and countries are marching that day. You can find out more...

Hope you can get the ordinance changed. I am from Decatur and we are allowed chickens, water fowl and turkeys but not goats. I would love to change that. Good luck.

Polish are really hard to tell at a young age. Right now I agree with the others that the white is pullet and the black is cockrel but they can fool you. By 4 months you will know. The pullets crest will be very round and full and the cockrels will look like Einstein.

She needs Corid or Sulmet but the corid is easier on them. It is a cow drug. Give 5ml per gallon of water. She is puffed because she is sick. I would treat all because usually if one has it the others will. I have never heard of an antibotic for treating cocci. I have had chicks with cocci and...

I was in Rural King yesterday when I spotted a bin marked 50 cents. There was 6 about 2 week old little white chicks that caught my eyes. As I was looking at them the guy working there said they were Amberlinks and if I bought all 6 he would sell them to me for 25 cents because they were...

From those pictures I am only seeing one rooster the one on the left.

Looks to me like you have a couple of boys. The first picture the red in the front and the white in the front. They were already getting bigger combs then the others. But if the white is Leghorn the females get really hugh combs too. If you post another pic at this age I would be able to tell...

I tell everyone starting out to build much bigger then you think you need cause chickens are like potato chips you cant have just one LOL and they have a way of multiplying on you (ie) chicken math I started with 2 and now have over 40. When I first started I had no idea how a rooster could...

Like I said I may have got lucky. I do know that this year the EEs they have at the feed store are marked pullets and the ones with the chipmunk markings the Vs are all over the place no definate V so now I am really thinking I got lucky, or like you said based on parent mix.

I think she was so sticky because you kept her in the paper towel and she was really moist. I know one time I had to go out of town just as my chicks were hatching and hubby had to take care of them. He had the humidity way too high and the last chick to hatch was waterlogged and the temp in the...

I go by 4 sq ft of coop space per chicken. Mine free range so I dont have a run but I have heard 10 sq ft of run per chicken. I know some do different but thats how I do. Also 2 hens with 1 rooster when he comes of age those girls backs will be a mess from mating. Most times its 7-10 hens for...

It just might be luck but last year at the feed store they had EE straight runs. They looked like the Welsummer that I have so I picked 2 with a perfact V on the head like the welsummers and both ended up being girls. Maybe it was luck or maybe it had to do with the V.

just saw the 2nd pic. She looks good to me. at least so far.
