Congratulations!

He is a young roo but all of my chickens are under a year old. Big Red (she hatched in February so the oldest biggest hen I have) takes no notice of him at all. I put him in a pen in the shed by himself for the day. He is a little bantam Cochin. Do you think Big Red could set him straight? she...

I am so disappointed. I by some miracle ended up with a rooster who barely crows and when he does it isn't as loud as the neighbors dog barking. I have been so excited. However, the last week or two I have noticed a lot of pullets as well as the six week old chicks sleeping in the run. Since it...

I understand that you cannot SELL raw milk but have not found anything saying you cannot just give it away. Is that also illegal? In all cases of prosecution the person accepted money, in the examples I could find

Thanks cluckitail, only two hours from me, assuming my schedule stays clear I will definelty be out there. Sounds like Delaware was a big hit. A little bummed I missed it but I don't think my husband will let me go to every swap. We just don't have enough space...

Is there an address for Mt Hope? When I search it a lot of cemeteries come up.

I have a problem with a neighbor I am unsure how to handle, maybe you guys will have some advice. In our area chicken ownership is pretty underground and at the whim of the zoning officer. He thinks they are exotic animals. Several people in our neighborhood have a few chickens. My next door...

I I have seen him, I think in the broody hen hatch along thread. Or maybe natural keeping thread. I can't remember I am following to many but I have seen him recently.

So my dad got a bunch of baby formula from the food bank (I don't know why) and he gave it to me (I don't know why) it seems like its hot a lot of good stuff in it, could I sprinkle it on the chicken food? Would that be harmful/ beneficial? Otherwise I am just going to throw it away.

So last night I noticed my golden comet is looking a little thin, upon further investigation she is wheezy and sneezing. I have heard her sneeze before but never thought it was more than dust. Now I think I have been neglectful or ignorant of a problem. I have no idea what to do, what do I give...

The swap was great, so fun to meet everyone. We are on our way home now, DH not thrilled about all the peeping coming from the back seat, but could be worse, they aren't crowing!

Northeast Ohio here! Youngstown area

Hey everybody? I have some boring questions to ask. How long will our swap last Saturday? I am bringing my little girls and I have to plan for feeding them (I am pretty sure Stevens21 isn't feeding us) :) is everyone packing coolers? Or would you like to do a potluck? Or will it be so short as...

Here is an MSDS (material safety data sheet) sheet for diatomaceous earth http://www.sciencestuff.com/msds/C1668.html It is my understanding that food grade DE is non carcinogenic (non cancer causing) however it can lead to pneumonia do to lung irritation. Chronic lung irritation is a warning...

I use pdz in my coop and my cats litter box. It reduces the aroma in both considerably. Doesn't seem to cause any problems.

Today my sweet little cochin bantam coconut got her head stuck and broke her own neck. I am pretty sad over it. We never name out chickens because we eat them and try not to get attached. I knew we would never eat our bantams Matey and Coconut so it seemed safe to fall in love with them. Not...

Hey Buckeyes! Come check out our backyard chickens car at the demolition derby at the canfield fair August 30th!

So today was kind of a bummer. Left our 13 five week old chicks out today while my DH was mowing the lawn. A cat ( the first I have ever seen in my neighborhood) jumped our fence grabbed my only female blue Cochin and jumped the back fence. Right in front of DH and the mower. He seems really...

I know it's a bit drive from Cleveland but you could check out witmers feed and grain. If you decide to custom mix min. Order is half ton. But they have a nice selection of feeds mixed in house in fifty lb bags.
