Mr. Ree : You can tell that the bird is not a frizzle. If she were a frazzle then her feathers would be very narrow and brittle looking. You can see her feathers on her shoulders and on her body and they are not frazzled feathers, she just looks like she has been the favorite to one of the...

___ Are you positive you don't have a FRAZZLE vs a frizzle?? I got frazzles from a hatchery about 2 yrs ago. I was ordering frizzles but heard after I made the purchase, that hatcheries don't monitor the parents so if two curly feathered parents mate together you could get a frazzle...

Silkie_Sue: A respiratory disease in a chicken is not contagious to a human and as far as I know you can eat the eggs. You could try treating her with a misting of Oxine that works if it is caused by fungus. Or you can treat other respiratory diseases with (0.5 CC for bantam or 1CC for Standard)...

--- So, if it turns out that my hen really does have a respiratory disease and not Gapeworm or a impacted crop, is the respiratory disease contagious to me as I handle her? Should I stop eating the eggs as well, in case of some other weird disease? She is squeeking a lot this evening with...

Quote: Hi ChicKat! As I am thinking about purchasing an Eglu Cube, your statement (above quote) caught my eye. Is there a way to arrange their attached run, so that it is easier for an adult to enter the run. Would I easily be able to move in the run? This is one concern I have about the...

Hi ... I have a question for you Eglu Owners. I too am thinking of getting the Eglu Cube. If I buy the run with it, is there a door in the run, so I can get into the run to push the girls up the ladder and into the coop? Also, I want to make sure the run has a door just to make it easier for...

Quote: Cute, cute, cute CertifiedChef. Could I PLEASE borrow some of the husbands/builders of these Posts to build ME a coop and run ??? ___

I used this exact crate for my bantams when they first arrived and for about 2 months of their growth. I tarped the sides and roof to protect them from the sun beating on them all day. I found mine on Craigslist for $50. Is my memory correct, in that if you found another used crate, you could...

_______________ I've been wondering about this, since I have changed my hens living accommodations this year. They are now living 24 hrs in a 'run' on the grass. I have only 3 bantam hens, in a 6 foot long wired run. I live in the dessert in California, just north of Los Angeles, so our...

Quote: _______ Hey, I have the EXACT same hen !! I have been SO upset with the Breeder that I bought this frazzle from, since the moulting started! Didn't think it was normal moulting, until I started looking at the forum and have found many photos with naked hens or .... not sure...

_______________ . . I am sorry about lack of photos .... we just lost our cord that runs from camera to computer, recently, so I currently don't have a current photo / capability to upload. (We're trying to find the cord before buying another) :-( The 1 yr old hens have balding...

Hi everyone: I live in Santa Clarita ... just 10 miles north of Granada Hills or Sylmar. I am going to give up my 3 very sweet FRAZZLE hens ... 2 red, 1 white .... because they are damaging our residential yard....they are digging holes into it. They are definitely FRAZZLES, with some balding...

His fro keeps getting thicker and thicker, so I am cautiously optimistic. We have a frazzle hen also. They both looked VERY bad. I had heard that ACV might help with their feathering so I started putting some in their water. Within a few weeks they started filling out and I am proud to say...

_____________ thanks everyone. although they aren't eating the same quantities that they used to eat when I was giving them crumbles, they are now at least eating some of the pellets. . Lee ____________

__________________ Thanks, Lancaster. checking the hens food dish, it seems they are holding out for their old crumble food .... :-( I guess the grass they eat during the day, is satisfying their hunger enough to keep them from digging in to the Pellets!!!! Lee _____________

_______________ Hi Everyone: I have 3 hens who are exactly one year old this week. They have been eating Lay Crumbles for the past 6ish months. This weekend, I got a bag of Pellets instead of the crumbles .... thought I could maybe save on some of the waste. But these 3 finicky hens are...

Quote: I ended up with 4 NICE frizzles last year the gal said she got from MPC. She ordered 10 strt run and had these 4 roos. I ended up picking them up on the way to work and my Laotian warehosue guys fell in love with them. Usually they just want to eat my extras, but they really loved the...

_________ Question: Has anyone ordered FRIZZLES from MyPetChicken ??? If yes, were your frizzles, frazzled ???? I would love to know of a GOOD place to order HEALTHY frizzles, since my last years frizzles from IDEAL were all frazzled .... the ones who weren't BALD have such bad wings...
