    Well, here I am, owning the one animal I swore I'd never have. Sometimes words jump up and bite your butt. Hubby and I live on several rural acres outside of Orlando with 5 dogs, 5 cats and two geese. I grew up on a farm in western Maryland an my mother always had chickens. Lord did I hate them...

    Genetic defect or disease in Jersey Giants

    Actually she seems quite content. She doesn't weigh 2 pounds, she's the size of some of my bantams. In all other respect she looks like a Jersey, down to the black legs with yellow bottoms. She talks to us, eats, poops and drinks. The only problem is her mobility, until just a few weeks ago she...

    Genetic defect or disease in Jersey Giants

    In March we got 12 Jersey Giants from a hatchery, 6 black and 6 whites. All arrived in good health. At about 3-4 weeks old we noticed that one of the whites was limping a bit. On inspection I noticed that one of her knees seemed larger than the other, perhaps swollen. In the last couple months...

    Jersey Giants thread for pictures and discussion

    My Jersey girls were hatched in March. The Blacks have been laying for at least a month, the Whites are just now starting to lay. The eggs are initially small and have increased to a large size.

    Red-tail hawk problems

    I read somewhere that this time of year the hawks are on the move. Nestlings from this year are now leaving the nests and establishing new territory. What ever is going on, we have been having problems with them also. My roosters are the biggest defence we seem to have. The bantam game birds...

    Just keep taking the eggs from her. She will continue to sit for a while but will eventually give it up. It may take a couple weeks for her to give up. I have one "grumpy" girl right now. She won't give up the nest but she isn't sitting on anything.

    RIR vs Redtail Hawk

    My vote would be with the hawk. Billy may be a bad a$$ but the hawk is MR BAD A$$. Between that razor sharp beak and those talons he has the advantage. He also has the advantage of agility. We are currently having a problem with several hawks who harass my free ranging chickens. What the...

    Broody Cochin/Bantam mix???

    Because of where you live and the weather (temps) I personally would not let her sit. The chicks will hatch out well into November and it really is too cold for them at that time. Unless you want baby chicks in the house until they feather up, I would not do it. Just keep taking the eggs every...

    Hawk advice please

    We are having the same problem. From what I understand this is the migration time of year for hawks. They have raised their young and now the young are on the move looking for their own territory. Fortunately for us they haven't prefected their aim yet and we have had several near misses. We...

    Advice

    Contain the dog, call animal control and have them pick up the "stray chicken killing dog" and keep quiet as to it's whereabouts. If the owner does find out where it is they will have to bail it out and may think twice about letting it run loose. If not your problem is solved.

    Help: I need to build a Fort Knox

    When I built my coop I read many posts on this website on building a secure home for my chooks. These are the things I gleaned from the posts and used.... My entire coop and hen house floor has wire under it, wrapped up the sides and covered with 4 inches of sand. This prevents predators from...

    Got sand? You should!

    urban escapee, good luck with your chooks! Just a suggestion, add some DE to that sand and mix it in, it will help keep the bugs down. When the chickens bathe in it they throw it up thru their feathers and it will help keep the mites and chicken lice away. It is also good for the garden when you...

    Got sand? You should!

    I'm in Florida where we get HOT muggy weather with a lot of rain in summer. We have about 4-6 inches of sand mixed with DE laid down in the coop and run. It drains well, no mucky mud in the run. It's easy to clean, just rake. The chooks dust bathe in it and get the benefits of the DE to keep the...
