I am glad to see mine isn't the only one ditching her babies. My little bantam girl has been fostering 9 chicks for almost 4 weeks. Today she decided she was done. She has been attacking each of them even when they weren't doing anything, to the point that they are all now afraid of her. It was...

I'm in Texas. Specifically, the northeast region. There hasn't been anything with their mouths, like wet pox, whatever is killing them takes them within 2-4 days.

Okay, so my little backyard flock has been experiencing chicken death almost monthly since August. At the end of summer we had a bought of dry pox make its way through the flock. Everyone made it through without issues, save a slight decline in egg production. A few weeks later, a Silkie roo...

I guess a lot has changed in 18 years then. I was prescribed gentian violet for my infant son and myself in 2005.

I realize I am 13 years late to this, but I was wondering the same thing. I am thinking that since it is essentially a form of thrush, and you treat human infants with Gentian Violet by applying it with a cotton swab inside their mouth; perhaps you can do the same for a chicken.

It is normal. I have diapers from two different companies. One is from Pampered Poultry, and the other is from Hen Holsters. My Dory HATES the PP one. She hates when I put it on her and will fight me the whole time. She will flip out and try to back out of it. She is less temperamental about the...

I have been having an issue with my little bantam cochin frizzle. He has always been more feisty than the others, even since he was a week or two old. Always challenging bigger birds. Now that he's 4.5 months old, he tries mating with my bigger hens, but they will just chase him off...

I am in search of a few/several bantam and/or Silkie pullets/hens. I'm willing to travel up to two hours.

Of course I have to go for Sara.

All three have been taken. Don't know how to remove the post.

I have 3 Silkie boys that hatched June 16th. They are sweet to people and hens. I live in town and can't keep them, so they must be rehomed. I live in Winnsboro, Tx. Willing to travel up to an hour to meet you in a public place. Meet Midget, Mophead, and Loco.

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am new to chickens. I got my first six at Atwoods in February. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? Currently, I have 18 chickens, though that number is subject to change depending on how many roos I may have. (3) What...
