How do I locate to buy a white americana hen, and a Japanese banty rooster?

I had a fire and it killed the 9 chickens I had in the house. Working on a new house now. I can get most of what I lost except for Leghorns. No one is carrying them! I also need a rooster. Most of the on line producers want no less than 10. I want several breads so I do not need more than...

I keep bringing containers full of mulch and throwing in the run. The people who trim trees and grind them up dump all that, at our University Orchard in North Las Vegas, and its free to anyone. Once a month I throw the containers in and they are so busy moving it, pecking it, and just having...

I have serveral hens with the same problem. The foot problem never changes, and if it should do so I would jump in with treatment. I did try soaking their feet, but I think there are 8 hens and it was just a wild time! So I am leaving alone for now. Also I now found a vet that treats the...

Why is it that every realtor I have written tells me I cannot have chickens?

I can't seem to get the scab off -- how did you do it?

I did not see any instructions for the treatment of the foot, or how to get the "stuff out" -- I seem to only draw blood and no puss or whatever is in there shows itself.

I have been treating Mary my hen since Tuseday. [June 30 2013] and beep putting pencillion in the scab part of the foot twice a day. I m using .5 mm. I did this two years ago to the same hen and it worked. But, this time its a lot worse. The one foot seems to be a little better. The worse...

I have lost 3 or 4 hens over the last 3 years with a very hard body. They seem to have excess weight, and usually eat and drink OK -- but eventually they die. I have her isolated, and antibotic in her water. I also put her on medicated chick feed. She is just about 3 years old. Breed is...

LAST FALL MY LEGHORN HAD THIS AND SO FOR THREE DAYS - TWICE A DAY WE GAVE HER A SHOT OF PENCILLION IN THE FOOT. WITHIN TWO WEEKS THE SWELLING WAS DOwn, and she was doing good. Well its back -- so I guess I will try your method. All I have beendoing is giving her feet a good soak in warm water...

I have been adding this to all the water containers. I also have the mister going from about 10 in the morning to about 6 in the evening. They really use it ! I have a red rooster who has curly feathers all summer from the misting system. Really cute. We have been to 110 so far -- and I know...

I am only able to get on all the parts of this Back Yard Chickens so I have to type where I can.....IN I believe the August/Sept Mother Earth News there was an article regarding a really great breed -- and it seems like the name might have been brown cross X. I believe the hatchery was in New...

Once they start eating eggs there really is no way to stop. I did put mine in cages and moved them to a new location for a couple of months. This area was low lighting and my idea was to reduce the light so they would stop laying. Two months later they returned and they did not eat their eggs...

My bantys usually hatch in about 19 days. I have 3 hens sitting right now and I forgot to write the date on their eggs, and it seems like its been weeks! It is about 110 each day, so I have been giving them frozen water bottles in late morning which usually lasts tell 5PM when I take them...

That is so cool and lush looking. I am in the desert and very hot so that really looks like heaven to me right now. Helen or Pokey 11. In a few days it will be a year since Pokey died.

Good idea -- I hate watermelon -- but if I can find it on sale -- I will gladly bring home the melon.

She is in no danger of not being kept. She is a keeper. She had one daughter - half Americana and she is also a good little sitter, plus her last two chicks are now 10 weeks old and following her around, and sleeping with her. Ashley is a wonderful breed: and I would love to find more of the...

I have a 4 year old New British Game Hen [ Banty } and she has been the best mother of any hen I have had. Now that she will not lay any longer, I am wondering if she also will not set? I suppose I know the answer -- but I need her to take care of baby chicks - because she keeps them for 6...

Thanks -- actually it is more of a treat. They have a large variety of food - fruits - vegetables - greens. The brown rice is expensive so really could not give them as much as they would like. In the summer, when its over 110 here I usually give them cold pasta in the afternoon - a treat and...
