I think my dog must be an exception to the rule....when I first got the chickens 4 years ago he killed one. I didnt whip him, I just really scolded him...he is normally such a good dog so really hadnt been in '' trouble '' until he killed the chicken. He hasnt paid a bit of attention to them...

I believe The Feed Mill in Meridian has it, but I dont know a price....they are usually much cheaper on their feeds, so probably on the DE too.

I am so hoping you are all right and maybe it's something else. I have sure never seen anything like it before. Now this morning he is improving again...just a little. He squeezed my fingers with the worst leg...and for the first time when I was holding him he started preening under his wing. I...

Omg. I just want to cry when I read this...I've had some of these girls for 5 years and they all have names and unique personalites...they arent just chickens, each one is my pet. I so hope it's not mareks, but I really think it is....One of the ladies on here is doing some research for me...

Thank You, I will go check out her page. Those things you just mentioned are all things that Stuey does. :( I'm getting ready to post a couple of photos of him...I took a video but somehow (leave it to me! haha) I had the camera turned so the video is 'on it's side'...haha I know how to fix that...

Where did you find your information on precautions for mareks. I want to read everything I can on it.

Well, I havent had a vet look at him but by the symptoms he sounds like the classic case. I have lost a few chickens mysteriously over the last few months. I would just walk out there find them dead for no apparent reason. Now I'm wondering if I've always had it in my coup. I started out with 11...

Yes, I'm just sick at the prospect of what's going to happen with my flock. They are all pets. :( You're right about not taking him to Dunlaps...he's not a chick, he's 4 years old. But I do have 6 baby chicks that were hatched here...

That sounds like she might have had an egg burst inside. I've had two hens do that. Also, Really keep an eye out, I dont know if you saw my posts about the Mereks Disease, but I think one of my roosters has it...it comes in on wild birds and where my feed is right out in the open the chickens...

I love the blue orpingtons, theyre sooo pretty. I have just the one, her name is "Buffy". ;) how original haha and she follows me around the yard and watchs everything I do. She has the sweetest personality, but I did see her jump up and whack that mean rooster in the chest the other day with...

Becca, I 'think' I have 34 and then the 6 new babies. I am down to 4 roosters now and that's about right. Nobody fights. I have an itty bitty banty hen that came with my silkie rooster and she's trying to set...if I see she's really serious about it I'll give her some green eggs like I did my...

I dont know if Dunlaps has ducklings, but I do know you can walk in and buy just 1 chick

I have a little of everything...I have RIR's, Aricanas, black austrolorps, light brahmas, a white crested black polish, 2 blue polish. a buff orpington, black sex links, red sexlinks, 1 silkie rooster and some brown leghorns. . I would really like some black cuckoo marans and some welsummers. I...

I private mssg'd you, Becca, but since then I have figured out which house with the trees you were talking about....I think you meant Lilac and Waltman....it's the house that is the one right by the little dirt side road that leads into the corn field there. Summer before last I was by there a...

No way!!! HA!HA!HA! You are my NEIGHBOR! I live directly across from the school! I did not know there were coyotes here, that really scares me bcuz I have a little calico cat that is in and out. She always sleeps in the house but asks to go out several times a day. So where is the house with the...

You have hawks in your area, too? Wouldnt that be too funny if your area was also my area? hahaha I'm off Franklin & Linder. I'm not sure what kind of hawks these are, but they arent just little chicken hawks (though I've seen those too). The ones that live on the property are huge...like bigger...

Our hen house is a wooden storage shed (the ones that look like a tiny barn) and it is sitting on cinder blocks so I'm pretty confident a fox couldnt get into the coop but as I said you still worry about it. I started buying my feed from the feed mill bcuz my brother runs the mill there and has...

Hi Becca! I LOVE the temperament of my buff orpington hen...she's the only orpington I have and her name is 'Buffy'. LOL How original, huh? I have 4 golden sexlink hens, 2 of them are over a year old and then I bought two from Dunlops last year...they are all soooo people friendly and don't seem...

I am in Meridian! I have a small flock of 20...black austrolorps, white rocks, polish, buff orpington, Osterwhite (sp) RIR , golden sexlinks and I have no idea what my little bantam rooster is. I should get around to posting a pic bcuz I'm sure someone would know what breed 'Little Henry' is...

Quote: Awwww, doesnt that just melt your heart when they trust and like you so much that they will sit in your lap like that? Watch out for those 'birdy bombs' though! My sister had a little accident the other day and I was working in the coop when they called me to the hospital...one of my...
