There have been a lot of people posting about not being able to get supplies from TSC and other feed and farm stores. Here is some current info from the TSC website from March 20: https://www.tscstores.com/About-COVID-19.aspx TSC recommends purchasing feed and supplies online for pickup at the...

It seems very difficult for newer people to this site to find out how to start a new thread, especially on the emergency forum. They tend to find old threads and hijack them, which confuses things. Is there any way to add the blue box “start a new thread” to the current page where the box “reply...

Recently, I changed from a windows computer to an IPad desktop and IPad. I realize that it probably is not possible to post links on my IPad, since I could never do that on my old tablet. Can anyone explain how to post a link on an Apple desktop computer?

Many pictures that have been added to threads today and yesterday have disappeared today, so it's very difficult to help people with their problems. They were there this morning, but gone now. Others are also complaining about this. Thanks, Kim

I was just wondering if anyone had ever tried to give procaine penicillin G by mouth instead of intramuscularly (as a shot?) Drugs like Tylan injectable are sometimes used orally so I wondered if anyone has tried this. I know you can use oral penicillin, but if you can only get the injectable...

I got a batch of chicks today from a hatchery in Ohio, and this one was supposed to be a black australorp. She has a straight comb, different color legs and the wrong coloring from the others. Any ideas on breed?

Buff brahma roos free to good home. 1 or 2 healthy 10 month old full blooded hatchery stock buff brahma roosters. Very handsome boys and not aggressive, good at protecting their girls. Too many roos, need to thin out my flock. Local pick up only--close to Huntington, West Virginia. PM me if...

I am starting to get bloody eggs from my 9 month old Welsummer. I have 2 of these girls, hatchery stock, and they have been laying for 3 1/2 months, but 1 has just started doing this almost every day for the last couple of weeks. I realize that they are okay to eat, but do any of you notice...

We have a coop that is an old barn, but want a small second coop for breeding or separating. I'm looking at Green Coops--does anyone have experience with these? I want a sturdy coop that is well-built.

Anyone have any knowledge of the quality of Tucker coops, made in Pa. I'm interested in Quaker 5x8. http://tuckerscoops.com/ Looking for a high quality pre-made coop....any suggestions

I want to put a light on a timer in my coop to provide 12-14 hours of light for this winter. My coop is an old dark barn with a window on 1 end and a door on the other. Presently I have an overhead light fixture in the middle and 2 plug ins by the door. What kind of light fixture do you use...

I have a 23 week old salmon faverolle rooster who can free range with the other chickens, but he stays in the coop and run. He had been bullied by our head roo who was raised with him, but he started running him off to hide in nest boxes, corners, etc. We pulled the other roos out except the...

My Polish pullet who is 20 weeks old was pecked this morning and it looks as though the eyeball has been ruptured. I have separated her into a crate, and have made her drink and she did eat some yogurt, but she seems in pain.

We have 32 hens that are 20 weeks old, and 3-4 of them have been laying tiny eggs for a week now. I have 9 next boxes in their coop with golf balls, and now some of their real boiled eggs, but they want to lay in a corner on the floor or out in their run. Today, there was a line for the spot...

Sam my faverolle roo has been raised in a flock of 37 chicks all about 20 weeks old. He is low on pecking order of 4 large fowl roos, and he is starting to act very afraid of the head roo(a BCM)and #2 a buff brahma. We have even thought he was sick since he seems to cower in corners and stay...

I have 18 and 20 week old chickens that today got a scoop of moldy scratch. The scratch was in a galvanized can, and I didn't realize it was getting moldy until after 37 chickens had started diving all over to eat it. Will they get sick? I've read where moldy feed can kill, so I'm pretty nervous.

My 2 polish pullets can't see due to heavy feathering over their eyes.Can someone post pictures of trimming polish feathers? I have trimmed already, but didn't want to trim severely and start any bleeding. I tried ponie tails--didn't work. So far my chicks still can't see well, and are...

Three days ago I put my 4 1/2 week old various chicks outside during the day into their grow pen in the front yard so I can watch them, then they come back inside to their brooder for the night. We just put fresh shavings in the brooder 2 days ago, but this morning noticed that their poo is much...
