    We butchered a four year old BR hen last year and it didn't seem worth it because there really wasn't that much meat. I don't think these roosters have much more since their only 5 months old. I was just wondering if this is typical? And, I guess why anyone would be interested in going to all...

    Thanks chickendanz I guess I'll list them. What price would you ask? Zigzag I had to use seven powder on my flock a couple years ago when we were having a rainy period and they didn't get to take a dust bath. It worked great the first time. I also put Vasoline on their legs and at all the areas...

    Hi everyone! I haven't been here in a long time, guess it got away from me. I sold my first flock (Crazy story) to make room for a new batch the kids hatched April 15th during a high school project. They did really well hatching 20 of 30 eggs. I took 12 thinking there were only two roosters and...

    I guess times are tuff if people are resorting to stealing hay. Guess I'll check Walmart. I did read somewhere that some of the bird seed at retail stores has pesticides but if you don't find that on the bag it should be ok. Thanks for the help. If anyone knows anyone selling SS chicks or...

    I hear you about the wet food spoiling. I make sure its all eaten or get rid of it. What I can't figure out is why they don't eat the corn any more.

    Naughty I may have spent to much but I bought 4 lbs of DE for $13 at Johnsons garden center. Sorry about your loss, I too lost two good hens. I put up a tarp to shade the whole 32 foot run, put our shop fan in there to move the air through and at least four 2 liter frozen bottles out at a time...

    HEChicken how do you like your Black Copper Marans? What is the temperment/personality like? I'm thinking of adding a couple next spring.

    I want to thank Chookschic for the kstate infoand having the knowledge I will always aspire to get. I'll be calling up there to get the address and see what they can do. I also found a vet that will do a stool check on the rest of the flock here in wichita. I really am starting to believe it was...

    They are all from the same hatchery and are 11 months old. HEchicken I guess it does seem unhelpful to have a fan, just thought it would cool the barn down some. We leave the barn door open during the day but close it at night to be predator proof. There are two vents behind the roost and one...

    Thanks cherwill, don't ya just love when things come down to the all mighty dollar! How old were your hens? I also wanted to mention that I added a fan in the barn, if that makes any difference. The thermometer inside was at 102 yesterday afternoon. One other thought was that I found her...

    Well, I was planning on posting for the virtual coop tour but first I found another hen dead this morning. Now I am worried about whats going on. The eleven hens and rooster left all seem fine. I can say the egg production has been down since the first hen died. I also have fed egg shells back...

    Thanks chicken danz. There must have been something internal because I couldn't find anything external. I hadn't heard about a chicken being egg bound guess I will do some research on that. Does anyone have advice on when and how to introduce new chicks? Lol, so many projects so little time and...

    Welcome Hawkeye95! I found Backyard chicken people to be great and so informative. I haven't been posting much but read quite alot. My DH and boys worked all of last summer to convert our old storage shed into our chicken coop. I have to agree with chicken danz you can never have enough...

    Hi all, I haven't been here much but am going to try to get to the meeting on Friday. I wish our girls were laying so I could share some eggs. Our plan is to sell some to put the money towards more feed but if I knew someone in need I would have a hard time not helping were I could. Our family...

    First, thanks for your advice. We bought another waterer, a 3 gallon so it will last a bit longer and it works great. Now I have to clean up the messy one and take it back. Yesterday was moving day and the girls seem to be settling in nicely. I just can't wait to get the run finished, there...

    I do have one question. Does anyone have an idea why the metal two walled vacuum 2 gallon water keeps leaking? I filled it all the way and let it settle but it keeps dripping over and leaks everywhere. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this but I tried to read the other forums and can't...
