B Brie, Have you tried calling Rose McCurdy to see if she wants him?

Curious to know what that is too

Wisher, tried squishing the "eggs" & they really don't squish. They just seem hard. Today there seems to be more. Going to get some sevin & try. I read where u can put the sevin in a garbage bag & put the chicken in the bag with their heads out, is that how you would apply? Also, what about...

That's the weird thing, they aren't in clusters like all the pics I've seen. Was wondering if it might be some type of fungal infection or something. Will try to squeeze & tell you what it feels like. Thanks!

Does anyone know if these are lice eggs? Just noticed yesterday & they are only around their necks. Inspected all of them & do not see any signs of bugs, mites, etc... Put a lot of DE in the coop. Not sure what the next step is since I'm not sure if lice or not.

T Thanks for the info!!

Just curious if anyone in south AL (especially Mobile & Baldwin County) has had to use a Vet for your birds? Just wondering if we have a vet nearby that would treat chickens

Can I get antibiotics @ feed store? Not heat related, inside in brooder.

Help, lost one of our one month olds this am & the barred rocks eye looks like its shrunken & possibly having some discharge from it. Vitamins in the water, put neosporin on barred rock. She's not acting 100%, but still eating & drinking. What can we do?

How loud are y'all's hens? I have a friend who's been telling me they are going to be louder than I think. We live on small in town lot & coop will be near property line. I know they can make a fair amount of noise when laying, but is it going to bother the neighbors?

A question for my experienced chicken keeping friends.....do you use deep litter method in coop or sand? Moving first batch of girls very soon & not sure what to use. Thought I was sold on sand but have been reading about deep litter method & wanted everyone's opinions. Still contemplating poop...

Chicken math struck again, lol! Got 4 new birds today: white frizzle, white silkie, BR & gold laced cochin. Gonna pick up 2 lavender orp's next week & should be done creating our flock!

Brie, what did you get? You could always get sex links, they are guaranteed pullets. We've hand raised our four & hope all are pullets. There's a lady in Baldwin County that's going to sell her lavender Orpingtons if you like them. I'm going to get two, they are already laying!

The rain needs to let up here in south AL, we need to complete our coop!!!

Any of the AL folks good @ sexing barred rocks or gold lace Cochins from pictures?

I Not sure I'm gonna be checking vents anytime soon!!! Lol

Chirp & friends, Just wondering if anyone can tell the sex of my approx 4 week old EE? [/IMG]

We scored free pallets from Walgreens to build our coop, built the run out of stuff we already had, except the hardware cloth. Can't wait to get our coop completed so our birds can leave the brooder & move into their new home!

Anyone looking for hatching eggs should look @ MeMe's Poultry & Quail in Robertsdale, Ms. Rose is so sweet & knowledgeable! She has Cochins, Orpingtons, RIR, Polish, silkies, etc..... http://m.facebook.com/MemesPoultryAndQuailSales?id=343193939103025&_rdr

Here are my EE's. they must be different ages because the larger ones feathers are different. Hoping the smaller one isn't a roo!!
