I've heard that chickens can drown in just a little water...Today our Japanese bantam flew into the pool and paddled all around like a duck....Any thoughts??

Yes. Ipomea--white moonflower. She's acting fine and its been several hours now. I have no idea what to do. I'm just watching her. Thought about trying to some charcoal or something. Thanks so much

Our favorite hen just ate moonflower seeds. I've heard they can be extremely toxic!!! Any Advice? Thanks..

If it doesn't work out with buckguy, then we may take countryroad up on the generous offer of meeting at harrah. Thank you all so much...

He weighs 2lbs 9oz and is about 7 months old. He's extremely fast and we can't catch him during the day, but at night we sometimes bring him in...(see pics) I'm hoping someone in Oklahoma wants him, because we don't want to ship him. Thanks so much everyone

I'm new to this and not sure where to post a thread directed to all the okies out there. We'd like 3-5 chicks and would prefer to buy locally. Or we're thinking of ordering chicks from McMurray Hatchery, and wondered if anyone around here would like any of the extras--you have to order 25...

Thank you everyone for your warm welcome and wise suggestions... I gave my dominque roo and a hen to my dad before I read the last two replies about banties crowing more. We wouldn't have been able to give Lincoln up regardless. He's a black game looking bantie rooster with a lot of spunk...
