    Thanks so Much!!! My projected surgery date will be this weekend. I feel prepared. I don't know why I couldn't find that when I searched but the byc article was great! Thank you, will take a look. Here's hoping it's the kernal, I did read where it could be 'stringy' and difficult.

    First time dealing with Bumble foot Massachusetts

    Hi, Thanks for your input! I suspect I will do it and not wait much longer as the black spot is now larger than when I first saw it. I was uncertain how deeply you cut down into the scab. Where did you get Vetricyn and is it expensive? How did you treat your chicken during recovery? I looked at...

    First time dealing with Bumble foot Massachusetts

    I have a five year old girl with bumble foot. I took her to the vet and 137.50 later the vet with one year of experience gave her an anti inflammation shot and told me to soak 3 times a day and come back in a week for another shot, then another week to check back to see if this all worked. She...

    6 month old leghorn pullet violently attacking me worse than rooster

    I haven't seen a post asking if she submits to you? I've had my chicks 3 going on 4 yrs now so not an expert but I have had animals of various stripes all my life. This seems to be a dominance issue. If she doesn't submit to you I would make her and keep doing it until she stops trying to attack...

    IncuView Incubator for sale Excellent Condition

    I think I had a successful hatch and that one hatch would be the limit of my experience. The eggs were from two different producers and I received the eggs in the mail. I made quite a few mistakes including that I did not 'rest' the eggs after they arrived in the mail. I later found out that the...

    GODZILLA needs a home! Timid Light Brahma Roo 6months NE MASS

    Godzilla is still a growing boy at 6 months. His tail feathers are finally coming in and his legs are like stalks. He is very timid and other than the young pullets he was raised with is bossed around by all my older girls. He has yet to crow!!! I am sure it is only a matter of time. He would be...

    Review by 'lafenrir' in article 'Fermenting Chicken Feed: A Straightforward Method'

    This was a great read, thank you for such a helpful article! Step-by-step, detailed with pictures. Would love a list of the grains you have posted in that close-up pic. Are the greens split peas?

    Review by 'lafenrir' in article '"Hentirement"'

    Thankyou for the great article! Would love to know how you got them to age 10 and so many? Over the last year we lost three. they were only 3yrs. Your chickens longevity is a testament, I think, to the care you must give them.!

    Neighbors chickens in coop all day! and it's hot - what to do?

I explained about ventilation and ice cubes in the water etc. He mentioned that he did noticed that when he opened the door...
