Well Monday morning I will be starting my new job. I applied for Marketing Supervisor a few weeks ago and found out I got it last week. Its almost a 50% hourly pay increase, even though it is salary, so I can't complain I also received 3 Conish X chicks from a factory farm today so helping...

Well I just got 3 Cornish X chicks-which will be pets not food and I was wondering the best way to turn my Layena pellets into crumbles. My local store does not carry Layena crumbles at the mill so I am going to have to figure out a way to make them chick sized without turning them to dust Lol...

I usually don't post in here but I figured if any of you guys knew (not coming up with anything on the net) it would be the meaties LoL I have a few work friends who's parents have grower houses.

This may sound a bit odd but I was wondering if anyone has tried adding herbs to 'scent' their chickens bedding. I have 3 house chickens and was wondering about adding mint or rosemary to their pine shavings just to scent the house. They don't smell or anything but after going to the health food...

Ok, so about a month ago a new 'stray cat' showed up in the neighborhood and you could tell she was either fat or pregnant. A few weeks ago my bf finally pet her and she decided she wanted to come inside. So she has been coming in and out as she wanted, sometimes not for a few days but she would...

Never thought I'd be asking you meaties for pix but it was brought up in my group yesterday that this person did not know there were other broilers besides Cornish Xs. I was wondering if you guys had some pix of some mature red or black broilers I could post to my group. Please only pix of them...

Ok so when Bridgette first started laying her eggs were white (Cornish X). We have had her in the house for about 2 wks (bc she would not survive in the heat) and no eggs at all...but today I came home and found a large brown egg in her playpen. She is by herself so no egg switcheroos could...

I was recently contacted by a lady who got a chicken (from amember of this forum) and the lady was told the chicken had 'weak legs' and could not be around other chickens. So this lady has kept this bantam in the house and now she wants to find it a new home...me. What is 'weak legs' and how...

This is from an Arkansas news source, and why we are leaving Bridgette in the house for the entire summer (most likely). http://www.fox16.com/news/state/story.aspx?content_id=c6470fb0-eb8d-42a3-8059-a16d8ed0e3a9&rss=316 STAR CITY, Ark. (AP) - The intense heat in Arkansas is taking its toll on...

Yesterday one of the elderly men that drives the courtesy carts here where I work brought me about 25 lbs of apples and 25lbs of cucumbers for my house rabbits to eat. The cukes were yellowing so he thought they might be bitter and was going to throw them away but after I told him I had rabbits...

has anyone ever heard of this org? My mom got me a brandy new shirt for this group at a yard sale (she knows I love me chickies) but I can't find them online. I didn't want to wear the shirt if the org supports cockfighting, you know

Since I get several emails from people with Cornish X chickens they have rescued or 'accidentally' gotten, I created a Yahoo Group so we could all lend our knowledge to others that might not be 'into' chickens but still want to help 'that chicken on the road'...

I was wondering if any of you had any chicken dvds, not things like Chicken Little and Chicken Run but non-fiction ones. I know of The Natural History of the Chicken and a few others but I would like to get some more. Oh and reviews would be great too

Yesterday morning my bf went out to check on the chickens before we went to visit my mom and Bob, Himmler and Cheeto had passed away. It must have been due to the heat, but this is the last of the original 8 that came here. They were almost 10 months old and more active than when they came to us...

Ok, so after Lucas and I making some bucket nest boxes I talked him into helping me make two new feeders for less waste. We were using a big tub that had their seed block and their pellets in it but after seeing how the new cheepers wreak havoc in it I thought I'd give in and put some hanging...
