I own two hens, a Leghorn and a Bantam. I am scheduled to check them into the County Fair today at 2pm, so I would like to know as much as possible so that I can help her and whether I need to keep her home or not.
Last night while I was cleaning their coop, I noticed that both the girls had...
I'm in the Piedmont area. I'm spending the weekend at the beach, but I doubt I'll be very close to you. I'm not sure how I would get them home, either.
Thanks. I'm not familiar with poultry medications or vaccinations, but is there any kind of broad-spectrum vacc that you think would help until I figure out what the problem is?
They are so cute. I would get them, but it'd be hard for me to pick them up in SC. They are the same age as my other pullets that I just put in the coop. Stupid gas prices. I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding a place for them.
I have a 8week old Leghorn Pullet who is healthy and developing normally. I noticed about a week ago she seemed a bit hoarse when I picked her up and she began chirping loudly.
Over the past few days she has grow increaseingly worse- now even her "soft chirps" she uses to communicate with...
I'm no expertbut...... That looks like it would work, but I wouldn't use it personally. I'm not too sure about the whole pool thing, and I'm not a big fan of using cardboard boxes. I tried it- messy and stinky. Chick learn to fly pretty early on, and in about 3-4 weeks they'll be flying out of...
Aww, poor guys. I have a soft spot for ugly animals! I would love to take them both off your hands, I'm not sure what I would do with them though and I'm not sure about the rooster laws in the country now that you mention it. I clearly remember there being a rooster down the street from me when...
I'm a first time chicken owner, so forgive the stupid questions. I originally started out with four chicks, and now seven weeks later I just have two (dumb neighborhood dogs). We finally finished up the new, improved, and predator-free coop yesterday and put my remaining two chicks in it. I have...
Thanks for all of your input. Ruth, what is your reasoning behind getting more chick? I wanted to start off small, I thought that two would be plenty to start off with so that they could have some company and I could get use to careing for them. I thought after I've had them a bit and they...
Sorry to steal your thread Ron, but I have a question about what MissPrissy posted. Do you wait to feed suppliments like oystershells and egg shells until they start laying, or could you do it sooner?
Hi everyone- First, I must say this site caught my attention just two days ago but I am already IN LOVE with it. I have spent a lot of time reading and looking around, and I am surprised at the friendliness and information. I thought I'd start off by introduceing myself. My name is Sarah Beth...
