Looking for some California white hatching eggs and also some Self Blue Old English Game Bantam. The Old English we need to be of good quality and pure.

Has anyone heard or ever put sulfur in water for a sick chicken? I obtained a Cuckoo maran chick this week that is quite sick and the person I got it from said she had been putting sulfur in the water and had been told to do that to help it. I've never heard of this before....

So tonight I hear my Roo crowin' away and my big blue cochin freaking out and I thought it was just them making noise but decided to take the dogs out to potty and try to hush them up a bit. I walk out and immediatly see swooping hawk! I grabbed my 8lb dog and the other and threw them back in...

so my baby's are somewhere around 16-17wk old and at least one but maybe 2 have started laying! YEAH!!! I have 2 full grown hens in with them and I have been getting one egg a day and went out today and had 3!!! So excited! and on top of that my baby boy started to crow and he sounds so darn...

so tonight I made a casserole that called for zucchini in it. I sliced up more than I needed so I decided to take the thinly sliced pieces out to my babies and see if they would eat them. OMG!!! They went CRAZY! they were grabbing them up and running all over to try to get away from the others...

My hens are not even laying yet. They are all about 14wk old or so. I have one rooster that is also 14wk and 3 that are only about 9wk. They have started showing some aggression towards each other, I guess to see who's boss but what has puzzled me even more is that 2 of them are already mounting...

I have 3 little cockerals that are about 9-10wk old that need new homes. They are mixed breed bantams. One is d'uccle/game, one cochin/game/ and one I believe to be pure game banty. Now I say game but am not 100% as one person told me if there was a rosecomb it couldn't be a game??? They are...

I have 2 pens right now a nice big new one and an old small one. Right now the 7 teens (13-14wk) are in the big one and I have 4 adults hens and 4 babies (6wk) in the little one. I want to eventually get them all into the one pen but it's not working. We tried putting the mama that hatched the...

so my daughter is starting 5th grade and can now join 4-H and I know they show animals. Does anyone here do this already or have done this and how would we go about looking into it. Also what would some of the specifications be for the chickens? Not sure if any of our gals would make the cut or...

Here's some pics of our mixed banty's we got early April. Not sure on their breeds thought I'd ask for some help and show them off at the same time. Sorry pics are kinda grainy had to use my phone.... Abe Lincoln- was told he was a pullet and also started soft yellow and was named Woodstock...

Chrystal has been like this now for months! We have treated her for bugs (seven dust) and we've scrubbed the cage and treated it but she free ranges during the day. I've watched to see if any other chickens are bugging her but she's actually "miss attitude" and if anyone is being mean, it's...

Ok so I had a nice little set of 4 little hens and one roo. I hatched some eggs this May and we can rule out the full size cochin because none of her eggs hatched so that leaves my bantam cochin, my porcelain d'uccle, and my little black game hen. Our Roo was a game too. So we have been trying...

So I go out tonight to start getting the girls ready to go up for the night and notice the "teens" are all running around chasing one that has something in her beak and they are going crazy all excited. We kinda laughed at first thinking it was a big bug or something. Then I got a closer look...

I had a couple questions. We by chance got a California white from our local TS this yr. and she was the SWEETEST hen we have ever had! Huge! but sweet! I've never had one before and I'm just wondering if we lucked out w/ her or if that breed is all like that. She passed away this morning (or...

I have a set of "teens" that we got around Easter. They are a super great bunch and we had a SO SUPER SWEET Calf. white that we loved dearly. This morning we woke up and she was dead. There was wet all by her backside and it was all green back there. That was the only thing we noticed odd. She...

Has anyone successfully used a dog kennel/run for a chicken pen? I need something quick and don't have tons of extra money right now so I was thinking of picking one up from our local Lowes (cheaper than TS) It's big enough that I can put the smaller one (rabbit hutch size) inside it for them to...

I need to quit going to Tractor Suppy!!!!! So yesterday we go in there and the local animal rescue place was there doing adoptions. I usually try to stear clear of them but my daughter went to look and came running back to tell me there was a Shihtzu out there. She begged and begged for him and...

So there is this egg that my broody kept kicking out of the nest and won't sit on. She's on 4 others w/ 4 hatched and won't sit on this one so we thought it was a dud. We candled it and saw no movement so I figured it was dead an was going to throw it out. My daughter was curious so we decided...

So my broody hen has hatched out 4 babies so far in 3 days. There are 4 more eggs that could possibly be good to hatch. The problem came this afternoon. I had to move her. The nest box was kinda small for her and the babies and she refused to leave the nest for anything and pooped this HUGE poop...
