I agree, if they can't quote the exact ruling they can certainly refer you to a source for accurate information . you could also go straight to your local boro or township office and speak to the secretary, they can also assist.

That's what I did: went to the township office and ask. They said that I can have any kind of livestock and as many as I want. DH definitely didn't like that answer.

Okay, so pretty sure she has Blackhead. She is lethargic, not eating, yellowish runny poop, and she just made this big nasty cheese like poop. I brought her in the house, and she is not moving much in the crate at all. Not showing any interest in food, but she wa drinking this morning.

I agree on the blackhead, from what I have read, but no firsthand knowledge ...

Hey guys, just wanted to pop in. I'm playing hooky today, and should be cleaning my room right now.

I lost one of my favorites to a hawk last week. My mommy chicken Penelope that was happy to raise anything you gave her. She raised a duckling for me this fall.

If I don't talk to you guys, have a great Thanksgiving!
 
I need some wisdom from my pennsylvania peeps. I have an 8 month old bantam mottled cochin that I swear is broody. She is flat as a pancake on the nest and has picked the feathers on her chest and belly out. She often returns to the nest if I take her out. Is this possible this early? Advice on breaking her.

Thanks everybody, I found a fish store about a half hour away that has mitradiazolone, so I might pick some up today. She's one of my favorite broodys, and I'd love to help her. She made a fairly normal poop and started to pick through her food a but, so I figure she's not quitting yet...

I'm so sorry for your loss :(
 
Thank you for the quick responses, that's awesome. I think that's what I'm going to do is call them unfortunately they are closed right now so Tomm. It is. It great to know that I have a place to go to learn and get great advice, I'm looking forward to having my very own chickens.

Bantam cochins can absolutely go broody at that age. And once mine started, they spent more than 50% of their time being broody. The silkies are even more so, but I've seen both sit on nothing for several months at a time. I wouldn't bother trying to break her, just let her be. Of get some fertile eggs for her to hatch.
