My friend has a duck that was limping she finally got it and found a string had gotten wrapped around both feet it had cut all the way to the bone. She says if doesn't smell good. Is there any hope ? She also asked me about amputation! Out of my realm .

Hello folks, I bought some horizontal watering nipples and put 4 in a bucket. took all other sources away. I took the girls and showed them to push and all that, I was so impressed some of them taped and seem to GET IT! So every day I go out I try to reinforce the system. Well its been raining...

Well that blows!!!

OK this thread is pretty long so if this question has been asked I apologize up front! So I have only had chickens for around 3 years all I have ever had was production reds. A friend had a friend with 2 month old chicks for sale, I was told she had Ameraucanas and Jersey Giants ,two breeds I...

Well one additional idea!! Get one of those dog collar cones, used to keep a dog from chewing stitches . And put it around your rope , it just drops down around top of bucket, my girls will sit up on anything.

great conversation, will get a full body pic tomorrow , thanks!

I will get pics today, don't get me wrong white eggs are not the problem, the reason I bought older chicks was for EGGS. I would never cull just for the egg color , I just find it very weird.

OK I have owned nothing but Production reds for the last 3 years. With that said ... I went to a feed store in my town she had some chicks that were a little older, ( I really hate the baby rearing stuff) she said I have a trio of Dominick and 3 black Maren's, Trio meaning one male and 2 hens...

OK I searched many threads, and learned a lot. I have a hen (2 Yrs) sluggish ,and walks slow and very wide, maybe duck like. Her belly feels way to full. OK I thought impacted or egg problems, and then I read about Ascities. I watched the lady drain her bird, I have insulin needles and a much...

Nothing?

OK first complete year with chickens, i have 5 production reds. Approx 4-5 weeks ago one of my hens started molting, very strange if you have never been threw, very ski-dish and standoff , i did worry but started to see her come around. Four days ago a different hen started acting funny, this...

I have kept up with this thread for a year or so, I find it fascinating! I don't have the ability to have these but it is certainly fascinating. I was wondering does Jubaby still have the originals or is she all out of it?

I have 2 compost wizards (love them) but they do compost fast, so chicken poop is really to hot, i have a separate hardware cloth circle i zip tied and dump in to , it sit out at the edge of woods and when its full i tip it over and get the tractor then put in garden!

anyone?

my freind told me they have only gotten one bad egg, ... i looked at them puzzled, thinking the only way to have a bad egg was if it was old. I have 5 girls and let them out every afternoon., all eggs come from coop, even if they are late --right back to coop. He told me he cracked it open the...
