Don't know where to post this. Romeo. my Silkie Roo lost his mate last year. A really nice lady in Kentuckiana gave me a Silkie hen for him. Boy did she turn out to be a fiesty, friendly, get to business, squawk about a treat!!! I have never had a Silkie hen like this! Well today I open up...

Neighbor is new with chickens. IMO, coop too small, not thinking about protection, or size of area for healthy chickens, don't want to overwhelm her or be negative. Would just like to direct her toward a good way.

I am not accepting this. I don't understand how others see me as a senior. I just don't know how to go about life now. Do I stick to what's safe? Or what's exciting? Or look to my bucket list? Do I hatch less chickens based on how long I think I'll live? I am just very confused about what...

I use Virkon and wondering what kind of sprayer is recommended? Mine died so I'm looking for suggestions on sprayers.

My Polish has a dirty poof from me putting stuff on her head to prevent picking. She needs a shampoo. How do I do this?

Sheesh. I have a sweet chicken who has a bumble foot. I cut her from the bottom and couldn't find anything. She was already bleeding on top of her foot so I cut into that and couldn't find anything. :hit So then I put antibiotic ointment on them and wrappedthem . She got 4 days of...

My silkie roos "talk" constantly. I know the "I found food" noise, but I wish I could know what other sounds mean. Ideas?

Ordered too many. Real cuties. $4 each or $30 for all

Any idea? I have never seen this before.

I have a Faverolle hen that's 6 years old. (white, of course) Never had problems. Now this bantam I have pecks her and mounts her then the rooster mounts her then the bantam pecks her some more. It's become so frequently that she hides all day, which means poor access to food and water. I...

This may not end up being accurate but it's a start. Thanks for participating

I just bought a bag of cracked corn and noted it to have a large oil stain on the side, and inside the bag was some black chunks. They look fibrous and do not smell bad. Is this something from processing or something bad?

I think my water taste funny. On occasion it's a bit sulpher-y. Common down here. But now my ice tea is a bit sulpher-y smelling. Is water delivery expensive?

Newest model for 10 eggs. I did squeeze 12 in there because I figured 10 would hatch. Brand new used once. Need a bigger hatcher. Temperature is steady and can be changed. Automatic turning or you can turn manually without removing the lid. An egg candler that works great. You can set the...

I love his very dry sense of humor . I tape them all.

I got a new model called a pro 10. It's kind of dome shaped and holds 10 regular eggs or more smaller ones. Auto temperature. Auto humidity-except my house humidity is 50% and I have this incubator set for 30%, and I can't get it lower than 45%. But that's normal. It also has a setting for...

I had an RCOM incubator that needed no fussing. It was set and forget. I had to sell it last year due to unemployment. So I'm stuck using this Styrofoam that fluctuates from 99.5 to 99.9, which is driving me nuts. I have 3 thermometers and 2 hygrometers. So I ordered another RCOM, and...

I have 2 pair of geese together. A pair of Toulouse and a pair of American Buff. Both geese are laying. I can't say what type will hatch. 7 eggs . Shipping is $12.00.

My hen has a high broken leg and the vet folded her leg up and put a bandage on holding the leg next to her body. But she keeps climbing out of it. I don't know how to keep it on her. Any ideas?

The vet said that my chicken broke her femur/near hip. Her leg has so far gone from limp to she can pull it up. She's happy, eating and drinking..........and her stool is runny and that dreaded bluish green. Not eating enough. Should I tube? Today she just flicked all the pellets out of the...
