Being that this thread moves so fast I came here in hopes of a quick response. Two of my hens were standing at the water pan and one was pecking the feathers off the chest of the other. The one being pecked did not move away went out to see what is going on and she is drinking a lot of water...
wow...just read the post above mine and non of my girls are showing any other symptoms outside the change in the eggs and I'm not sure if the eggs that are weak are from one bird since I'm not sure who is laying which egg as not all are weak. I have six layers shells are fine.
I have a delima...I have two EE's that give us green eggs and four RR/BO mix which give us brown eggs the last month the whites are runny and the yolks break in the brown eggs...the EE's eggs are fine. yolks break just before it is time to turn them over. Why would this be happening they eat the...
Best fishing we ever did was in WA you have the best lakes. CA doesn't even have discounts for seniors my 86 year old father in laws license is costing us the same as our license. Free fish day, right,if anyone at fish and game would listen this is the rant they would get. Ours cost $45 and...

My original 5 walk all over my feet and will jump up on the bowl I take out with breakfast for them but they were held and socialized with us when they were chicks so they come running when they hear is. I do not believe that these 3 had that type of interaction. I sat in the yard for a bit...
Carolyn to me it looks very painful they seem to have had a rough life I am glad that the neighbor thought to ask us if we wanted them. I will oil tonight but when I do get the Emprinex do I apply that first then oil or visa versa? Well it seems I have some work to do. Thanks
Thank you all for the advice. These 3 were given to me yesterday and before bringing them home I dusted their yard very well and the yard and coop for my original girls, I even dusted them. When I got the three in for the night I dusted their feet and their feathers. Not sure what to start...

This is the hen. Poor baby picks up that left foot, I can imagine that she must be in some...
We will be moving the one we have from another property to our place once the tenants leave. I really like the ideas I seen in the site you posted. I went on line to see if I could get ideas but I guess I just did not go to the right places because I could not find any. Thank you for the...
Wish we had rain. Supposed to get some Easter and Monday but l seriously doubt it. Being in the High Desert we don't get much but what is funny my mother lives 7 miles up the road from me and she will call and say she is having hail and major rain and we have beautiful blue sky above us and...
My 37 year old son has not spoken to me since Jan. An ex girlfriend of his has two daughters that he considers to be his daughters. Now he has always kept his personal life personal and would not ever bring girlfriends around. I knew his first from high school they dated 7 years and I loved her...
I live in the High Desert in CA and where I am we have Ravens twice the size of Crows....I toss out all the meat cuttings and bones, none of it goes into the trash to rot. I make a clicking sound and they come and sit on the phone lines and in the trees until they are ready to inspect. I love to...
Hello Mikeyb it is I the CA stalker would you share your Soda bread recipe. We also had a great corned beef and cabbage dinner and my DH actually ate it this year and liked it, getting better taste buds with age. It was just my FNL and the two of us so we have some left over for dinner tonight...
I had one that was egg bound and she was lethargic and would bounce her backside as if she were trying to dislodge and egg. She would not let me get hold of her but she did drop the egg eventually that day. Soaked in a warm Epsom salt bath for about 20 minutes I kept the water warm. Then dried...
