Bump....whatever happen to the pics??

We lost our first chicken this week during the day too and of course it had to be my favorite, Polish Hen named Cher. The only thing we found where just a few tail feathers....so sad. I agree you probably have rats and should set some traps.

WOW-I would think the world had come to an end if I saw that in my yard....I live in SE Texas. Hoping the rest of winter gives yall a break.

There are simple steps to take to ensure each of us is safe regarless of what happens in the economy: 1) Spend less...save more (get out of debt) 2) Understand wants versus needs-focus on the needs 3) Hope for the best but prepare for the worst 4) Become more self suffient-everyone can plant a...

When my little Thor had an impacted crop, I fed him small pieces of bread soaked in olive oil. After he ate them, I gently massaged his crop until the food began to pass....haven't had any problems since.

Thank everyone!!! We were pretty sure Seamus was a production red or RIR...but like yall, Gangstallene has us totally confused...she is the biggest chicken we have-even bigger than Seamus. I will give her a couple more weeks and post of new picture of her. Hope everyone has a great week.

I purchased a surprise straight run 7 weeks ago and haven't been able to confirm these two...can you help me? Meet Seamus And our big girl Gangstallene

RIRF-here are my two sweeties that I can't figure out from my surprise group...do you think they are RIRs? This is Gangstallene Séamus Here is Thor with his Polish pay Cher enjoying the sun..

RIRF-we bought a "surprise group" of 5 and I think I may have 2 RIRs....going to take some pics tomorrow and post..would love to see if what you think.

Thor got to spend a couple of hours outside today (was almost 80) and he was scratching his little heart out. Fingers crossed he is on the upswing.

Great point...I am going to wait until our hottest part of the day and only leave him out for a short while....of coure I will be sitting out there watching him and working.

They have grit as well as free range in a chicken tractor. He refuses to eat scrambled eggs or yogurt. I got him some scratch mix and ground it up into small pieces. (Don't ask me why the coffee tastes funny) He is eating very little but drinking well. Pooping regulary with no runniness (is...

RIRF-thank you for the links! I reviewed the poo one and his poo is considered normal, no blood at all, just a little firm. We have given them all medicated food to protect against coccidiosis. We have 8 other chickens all the same age and none of them are presenting any of the symptons Thor...

Noticed Sunday my little guy Thor was not very active and had his feathers fluffed out. Thought maybe it was do to the cold front coming in. Checked on him yesterday still the same so I picked him up to have a close look at him and he has NO meat on him. Brought him inside, gave him wormer as...
