    Bielefelder X Cream Legbar autosexing?

    I keep reading how autosexing is not guaranteed when you cross breed; but both these breeds are sexed by light/ dark chipmunk down color on hatch, so can one identify chicks by gender the same way on hatch? I'm sure I'm not the only one who's though of this. I'm certain someone out there has...

    Compounding meloxicam and celecoxib

    I have some hens I treated for bumblefoot and it’s obvious they’re in pain. I’m going to compound some meloxicam for them. I’m planning on following guidelines of 0.5 mg/kg once daily dosing. Is Orablend (compounding syrup) safe for chickens? Or do I need to track down propylene glycol and 1%...

    Why automatic doors?

    I was reluctant to get get an automatic door because of the cost. I finally broke down and purchased one because of my work schedule. On days I work, I’m gone 14 hours. Days I’m home, I like to sleep in. There’s no way I can open and close the coop door during daylight hours on work days most...

    What kind of sulfur do I use?

    I didn’t even think about handling the chickens. I pick them up and kiss them all the time. That would get expensive with the cost of EpiPens!:eek:

    What kind of sulfur do I use?

    I’m allergic to sulfur. I can’t take sulfur antibiotics, I get rashes from stuff with sulfur in it, I work in a pharmacy and can’t even count the pills without having a problem. I’m leery about using sulfur powder as I don’t want any dust on me. I found a product on Amazon (Elemental Soil...

    I like that it’s a coop that can easily move with me if I decide to sell and move. I don’t need to leave my coop behind or stress over difficulty taking it with me or replacing the coop.

    PLEASE HELP ME!

    What does her comb look like? Is her crop kind of squishy? If you gently press it does she look like she’s gasping? I recently treated my leghorn for sour crop. She had white goopy droppings, the shell wasn’t developing on her eggs and they came out with her droppings. Search the symptoms and...

    Olandsk vs. Mille Fleur OEG Bantam

    I’m in southern Ohio so temperature depends on the day. We have our current bantams in well insulated coops but we bring them inside if it’s expected to get below 20F. I would like to find a bantam breed that lays a normal-ish size egg.

    😳 You are absolutely correct & I knew that. I’m new to all things chicken & got it mixed up. :he I was watching videos of a long crowing rooster ~ 5 minutes before I saw this thread. Tom enjoys frequent crowing all day long, maybe I subconsciously linked the two? :hmm
