One of my hens started nesting on 2 eggs, I quickly added 4 more. I have 3 chicks out of the eggs. One of the chicks was hatched a week earlier than the other 2. I pulled the baby when I realized that the mom would not get off the nest to care for it. Can I now put this chick back with her? Will...

Hey Becky, Im in NW Georgia , Floyd County.

If you live in town, you might want to check your local ordinance for poultry. The state of Georgia has a Farmers Market Bulletin and you can check it online for hens for sell. I believe there are some local people(Grayson, Conyers, etc.) that you could purchase 2 hens for him. There is a farm...

I have 5 pullets I purchase about 2 mos ago. They are doing fine, though they seem to have a hard time putting weight on. Anyway, last week one of the RIR's seem to have a problem with her leg. She could walk around on it but as the week has progressed she is getting worse. She is now completely...

Go online to Georgia Market Bulletin. They have great ads for various animals for sale and trade. You can also pay $10 and get a weekly paper. Love my market bulletin

I found this website from Univ of Mississipi regarding treating mites, lice, etc. Very interesting. http://msucares.com/poultry/diseases/pesticides.html

I recently contacted our local extension agent here in NW Georgia and this is what he sent me. It is info provided by the Univ of North Carolina on all aspects of backyard poultry. Here is the link(let me know if this doesnt work)...

I have a black sexlink that until now was a spunky little girl. I noticed yesterday that she was very lethargic. She normally will not let me touch her, but she just stood there. I brought her in and cleaner her bottom(smelly, white poop) all over her bottom. I cleaned and trimmed the worst...

Oh my gosh! I wondered about where they were laying or if they were. My hubby ended up cleaning the wood pile out. I have a potting table with a shelf under neath, Im going to try to enclose it and see if they will lay on that. 90! eggs. Wow. were you able to use them or did you pitch them? I...

My chicks come in to the fenced in backyard every day,so I dont have to chase them. I was looking out the kitchen window when one of my barred rocks went under the lumber we have stacked out back. I thought what is she doing? Then I realized she must be laying there. I got my flashlight and went...

I agree, try the cat food or tuna with oil.

Why do you need to order a pallet of feed? How many chickens do you have?

sorry, I want be able to go. I dont drive to far by myself. If you are ever up this way or come to Cedartown/Rockmart, I can meet you. The roos arent going anywhere.

I have 2 Buff Brahma roosters, free to a good home. (Im in Rome). I have pictures on my profile!

I had a problem with my rooster getting pecked, to the point his butt was bare. The hens were pecking him. I read that they get bored if they are in an enclosure. Chickens are carnivorus(sp) and will peck something red or white. I bluekoted his butt and any other spots, I put him in a run by...

I have the smartest chickens. A couple of weeks ago I realized my hens and 1 roo had gotten around to the front. That is a major no-no, we live on a busy road. It isnt that they have no where to roam, they have a big barn, large field, creek, etc. I ran out the carport door with left over...

Thanks, that would be smaller than a kids pool. My run is small but my hens free range anyway. There is just no where for them to dust right now.

I need tips/info on what to purchase to make a dust box. I can make the box no problem, but what to buy to put in it? I tried sand but it ended up being to wet. I have DE so I will add that. I live in NW GA and it has been very, very wet here. Trying to keep anything dry is going to be hard.
