    Bumblefoot

    Second year battling this. 2 separate flocks. Chicken keeping 5 years. Last year we found some areas of loose wire the birds were stepping on and eating (yes eating the had it in their crop when we culled). I lowered roosting bars. And we stopped letting them free range as they were always in...

    Bumblefoot and Lice

    I hope I’m not coming across as uncaring. It’s more I’m frustrated and really am just curious how far others would take it. I’ve been spending my evenings soaking chicken feet while my family does things like swimming or bonfires with neighbours. I didn’t go on vacation to the cottage this...

    Bumblefoot and Lice

    But my question is at what point do you say I’ve spent enough money. Vet has me feeling guilty. These are really pets. I sell eggs and chicks as a hobby and I like to break even on the cost of the bird by the end of 2 years when I rehome … usually for only $5 per hen. As for the above videos I...

    Bumblefoot and Lice

    Just looking for opinions to have different ideas to chose from. I’ve been battling bumblefoot in 5 birds this summer. I’ve been able to cure 2 with Epson salts baths. One bird Stella was treated with antibiotics and pain. She originally had bumblefoot on both feet and I’ve managed to get it...

    Sexed chicks bought from Hoovers

    Just 2 … marked with black dot are the 1st chick… other photos are the 2nd chick. 8 weeks old bought as sexed Armericanas. Visually I think Roo but don’t know enough about the breed … meaning maybe this style of comb presents more red?

    They do and I’m actually driving thru that area soon. Price is high but the more researching I’m doing on English Orpingtons the price is that high every where

    BBS Orpington

    So Lavenders are really only good as Lavenders? I really do like my Roo he’s like a dog lol. Just so friendly and protective of his girls. Breed black lavender spilts? To try and improve feather quality? Could I show the blacks in the county fair? Not looking to breed for any other reason...

    BBS Orpington

    And I’ve spent months trying to find black Orpingtons to no avail. Everyone around me seems to do mixed flocks. And both hatcheries near me only sell Buff or Lavender Orpingtons

    BBS Orpington

    A genetic question I’d like to breed BBS Orpingtons can I accomplish this with a Lavender Roo and he’d act as the black? Or what other combination can I do with him? I like my roo. Currently with him I have 3 black Orpingtons but 2 of them look to have some white specks on them. 4 Lavenders...

    Breeds for County Fair (Ontario)

    Ok thank you. I have told my kids they’ll have to handle the chicks often. Broody is ok but not the amount of 3 plus times a year.

    Breeds for County Fair (Ontario)

    Should have clarified. I have 2 coops when is a coop my kids are allowed in whenever they want as there is no rooster. My Orpington coop only my oldest is allowed in. My rooster is beyond friendly and that scares the other 2. He will run for you for a pet lol. The other coop right now is...

    Breeds for County Fair (Ontario)

    My kids (12,11 and 9) are so excited for this years fair. Last year our fair finally had birds again and they were so upset we didn’t enter any for our flock. They’ve been waiting for Chick days to come out to see what breeds are available to raise up some chicks to show themselves. Our fair...
