Our little flock just went through a bout of what the vet thinks was sinuvitus (sp?). We lost one of our bantams to it, but everyone else has made a full recovery. It's been nearly 2 weeks since any shows signs of being sick, except our Gold Laced Wyandotte who has a lingering honk/cough and...

I'm a little concerned about my tiny bantam frizzle. She laid her first egg last week, right around her first birthday and then 2 days later another one. Since then, every other day she spends a couple hours in the flower pot she picked out for her nest, then hops out and goes about her day, but...

We have a young silkie bantam who has had about 6 weeks of egg laying compared to about 4 months of broodiness. She's just coming off her second broody cycle, which lasts about 1.5 to 2 months. We are hoping to use her to hatch some eggs this spring (since we aren't getting eggs from this little...

I have 7 hens that range from a giant cochin to a tiny bantam frizzle. Today I walked outside to see a hawk, which I later researched and realized it was a Cooper's Hawk, sitting on my fence. The chickens free range the yard all day and were on the other side of the yard at the time. I shooed...

My 7 month old bantam silkie went broody a couple days ago after laying eggs for only a couple weeks. While we got our little flock for their eggs, they almost immediately became treasured pets, so I am asking from that perspective. I don't care about not collecting eggs from her for a month...

I'm sure how to add a picture in my post, but our sweet houdan, Co Co has had what we thought was a simple blood blister on her leg for about 2 months. We really haven't taken it seriously because it doesn't seem to bother her, the other chicks don't peck it and every time we start to worry, it...

Our oldest girl, a Gold-laced Wyandotte, laid her first egg today! We are incredibly proud chicken parents, but we realized we now have more questions as first time Urban Chicken Farmers! 1. Daphne laid her egg in one of her favorite spots out in the yard. We do have gold balls in the nest...

I have seven 12 week old pullets of 7 different breeds who run around in the rain all day unless i shoo them back into their covered run. They have plenty of trees and bushes, as well the porch, to hang out under if it really pours, but they certainly don't seem to mind the Portland drizzle...

I am trying to determine what the appropriate dosing of Duramycin-10 would be per gallon for my 9-12 week old pullets (I have 7 and one bantam, who happens to be the one displaying illness in the form of constant sneezing). Thank you for any help!

I'm raising a houdan, cochin, wyandotte and ameraucana, all between the ages of 7-8 weeks. They are about to go outside to their coop in a week when our silkie and frizzle pullets arrive, but I'm concerned that my houdan Co Co has shown no hint of trying to fly. The other girls have been flying...

I have four chicks, aged between 2 and 3 weeks. They have had nothing yet, but starter feed and a quarter of a boiled egg today. I don't plan on introducing anything else to their diet, except possibly some plain yogurt or greens, before they are 5 or 6 weeks old, but, I do want to take them for...
