Ok will do! Thank you for the info.

I was thinking about 3 to 5 dollars as well. I would Love to give him to someone that would really want to take care of him but No one around here has any kind of poultry

I have a silkie cockerel that I need to find a new home for. He is currently 5 1/2 weeks old. I was going to take him to TSC on the Saturday they do a little swap meet. I need opinions on selling. Will people buy a silkie cockerel? I was hoping to get a little back to help with food expense...

It's close to that time of year when I will have to put sod down. I need to know an organic, safe weed and pest killer for my backyard. I don't want anything that will harm my chickens but I also plan on confining them to their coop/run for about a week or two after I put the stuff down. I...

VENT! So I rescued a OEG pullet and she, as of yesterday, is mostly integrated with my other 4 girls. I rescued her right before hurricane Hermine came through and it has taken this long to go through our separation And integration period. So finally after hurricane Matthew has come and gone...

Everyone and all my girls are safe. They aren't happy but they are alive- even got a couple eggs out of them. Clean up will begin after breakfast and they will be able to move back to the coop this morning !!!

well that sounds like a great plan but both of our bathrooms have windows and we have an open house plan so it's gonna be hard enough for us to figure out what to do for our safety. We have their pen against the house and the rooms protrude about 5ft out so they may not get much wind. We will...

Will you live in Jacksonville about 15 minutes from the beach. There is no mandatory evacuation for our area yet but I was wondering what to do with my chickens. We have a screened in patio and I was going to put them in there for the next couple of days. Would that be sufficient? Their coop is...

I did. I put all of them on Corid. I will see what happens

Posted is emergencies/ diseases but you guys always come through for me and quickly. About 20 minutes ago I noticed some poop on my patio while the girls were out foraging. The only one with blood in her vent area is the one that just started laying on Friday. Could this be coccidia or maybe...

im glad all is good. We got a little wet but no flooding. Yard is mostly dry today. I had two of my girls decide not to go into their coop last night as well. I went out to check on my rescued a bird and her little pen and saw two of my girls roosting in the run getting drenched so I went...

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. So many new things I'mlearning since entering into backyard chickens.

Thank you! I am happy to hold her until her owner decides to claim her again but I pray she doesn't have something she gives to my girls. If she's not claimed, I'll put her pen next to my girls in 4 weeks and get them more aquatinted

My newest addition- hopefully- has been running around our neighborhood for close to two months from what I hear. She looks very healthy but I have her quarantined in her own pen. The problem is the only space I can quarantine her is only about 5 feet from my girls run. Other than biting at...

My newest addition (for now) OEG. She's apparently been running around the neighborhood close to two months now and I had two different people tell me of her. I am basically fostering until someone answers the lost chicken post on our neighborhoods website and claims her but if not, in 30 days...

I have a pure bred BO that's 7 months and not showing any signs of laying yet. I figured we'd keep her regardless, she's just so adorable

She did it again this morning but stopped when she heard the door open. One day I'll film her when she's not paying attention!

Barking! Yes, that's right, my chicken was barking this morning. My only EE was on the roost this morning barking and I thought it was a dog. Now the four chickens I have left are all pullets including the EE -she was actually the first to start laying but my BR is the one that normally makes...

We have the black racers in our backyard and leave them alone. They/it hasn't messed with my chickens and they can't get to the eggs. We also have cottonmouth snakes and I read the racers keep them away!

Thank you! I have to put color everywhere! It blows down to circulate the air up to the vent. I have it clipped to the roost. I have a video monitor and there is well that shows temperature and the position it's in right now keeps it the coolest.
