Thanks. I can't figure it out. The joint is so swollen. I soaked in epson salts and tried to manipulate it, but can't tell what is swollen tissue and where the tendon is.
Thanks. I did find some (the very nice CityGirl..). However, I fought picky chicken fever and just gave my broody the so called "Blue Laced Barnevelder" eggs I bought in an up characteristically unresearched moment. Ha. We'll see what happens.
I set six in hopes of getting one, maybe two...
Hi all. Posted this in chicks section but wanted to post here as well. I have four chicks that are between 5-6 weeks old. When I moved them out overt the weekend it was warm and perfect. So now that it's cold and wet I'm worrying about them. They seem fine, but should I bring them in? The...
Hi all. Wanted to ask those of you in my local climate how many large fowl hens you'd keep in this coop. They free range all day, just use the interior section for sleeping and laying. I feed in the open air penned part under roof and they are confined to run behind coop only when we are out...
I'm considering hatching out eggs for the first time. Does anyone have dark brown layer hatching eggs for sale locally? Blue laced red wyandottes?
I'm in murfreesboro.
If I were hoping for 4 pullets ideally, how many eggs would you set? I'd use a small Brinsea (which ever one can...
Organic feed in Murfreesboro!!! Rutherford County Farmers Co-op has Mannapro organic layer pellets! I cant tell you how happy this makes me. It's insanely expensive at $12 for a 10lb bag but I bought 2 to encourage them to keep it in stock.
Does anyone know where I can have a necropsy done locally? I have a hen that is likely going to pass away in the next few days and I'd like to know what went wrong with her. I'm in Murfreesboro.
Hi all. My hens are barely laying. They stopped during the heat spell we had, and I'm only getting about an egg a day now (5 14 month olds, one of which is in molt)
Think it's the heat or do I need to start being concerned (er)?
Hi all! Was wondering if everyone's girls have stopped laying in this heat? Mine have, I'm down to one or two eggs a day from my 5 hens. Usually get no less than 4.
Haven't lost any hens though, so thankful for that!!!
Thanks for all the bunny info!! They sure are cute!!!
In reading bait about them online, I've read that they aren't for people who travel as they don't take well to new environments? (kenneling or staying at friends house). We do like to take little 4-5 day trips as often as possible...
Ok bunny people. I keep seeing all these adorable bunnies and know nothing about them.
Our 12 year old dog is going to need to be put to sleep next week and our house will be empty without an indoor pet. I'm not up for another dog, but am intrigued by a bunny in the future.
Do they chew...
hello all. im considering hatching some eggs this spring, anyone have any ameraucana eggs? wheaten especially? only color im not crazy about is black.
need some colored eggs! :)
looking at a mini incubator, so maybe 1/2 dozen eggs at most.
Wait wait wait . You all are so bad!! My post was supposed to say in the Spring (not "sponge" as it came out). So hold your horses
I love the hatching egg idea, but the possibility of Roos really stinks. I just rehomed our two silkies that ended up as boys and my kids weren't very happy with me.
