Hey Lemon - someone may chime in with better info - but just in case, I'd suggest you check out some of the other threads for more immediate help. There is one for emergencies that seems like it would be better monitored this this thread! Good luck with trying to get help for some of God's critters!

At least we got the critter before it multiplied!!! The chicken wire around the bottom of the pen has come loose so soon't my ankle allows I need to get out there and reattach it! I like my girls just the way they are!!! Never had a sprain before....this is nearly as bad as when I had a...

Well, gosh - I actually meant I-40! But I think I'll be able to find it with everyone's directions here! Thanks! We had excitement last night. 2:43 I heard one of our dogs go 'woof'.....real gentle, like. I'm a light sleeper, and that woke me up. It came from the side of the house where...

Hey there you Eastern Tenn's......I'm heading to the Smokies in a couple weeks. Love that place. Would someone tell again how to find LC off the 321 route from the interstate 65, going into Maryville? Also, I can't remember the name of that special feed someone was telling about a few weeks...

Good points, Cybercat. Love the avatar, btw. When I bought the birds, I asked for girls 6 mos - a year. I'm not sure, but I think this girl is older. Her legs are a pale gray, and she's never laid more than 4 eggs in a week. I don't think she's laid any for 5 - 6 days now. By juicing, I...

Gold Griffin, thanks for the encouragement and advise! I'll go check out that other thread you mentioned this morning. Poor little Snowy - glad she's starting to feel better. Would love to see some pictures of her if you get time! I've got 4 really finicky girls, who won't eat most of the...

Annie, I'd love to hear some of those conversations. Used to have similar ones with a neighbor about horses. If they had spots they were something particular, and if they didn't, then they weren't horses. Hubby is down to clenching his teeth when I ask him to do something for the chickens...

Oh, and Stanglover, how can you stand not to get them all out and have a major snuggle? They are adorable!!! Congrats!

Hey y'all, molt question! I sprained my ankle Sat and haven't been able to get to the coop but once. Noticed alot of black/white feathers....only one hen they could be from. She's an older Dominecker (CityGirl in the County said that's what folks around here called Barred Rocks). Seems like...

Chickenfruit - we moved to middle tn from Ohio....the 'north' coast. Thought we'd die from the heat that first summer, then froze in the first winter....our blood had thinned out I guess. Since then we've acclimated. It doesn't take that long, really. Your kiddo's will grow up thinking...

Thanks Jen! I'm trying to bide my time - will go out right before dark to freshen things up (and look for that one more egg!). How exciting!!! My city slicker friends jest don't understand, ya know?

I think my baby just laid an egg!!! She was born Aug 2, mostly RIR. Today I found 4 eggs in the nest, 2 large, 2 small.....which is the norm (2 large girls, 2 small). But one is a much darker brown then any I've ever gotten before! If I get one more little one I'll know that Peek-a-boo is...

I'm going to the Smokies in March so maybe I can stop and check them out! Thanks for letting us know about them!!!

Hey y'all, will the electric wire keep them from digging under as well as going over? What about rats and weasels? Thanks

Annie, does it have a name or is it special mixed for you? Is the corn used non-GMO?

Hey Stanglover, I'm pretty new to chickens and have a question. I thought we weren't supposed to use corn as the largest part of their nutrients? The way the ingredients read, even though wheat is listed first, there may well be more corn than anything else ~ many companies hide the fact that...

How could I have lived this long and not known that chickens have facial expressions, as well as personalities? THEY DO!!! I've been going out in hubbys camo coat/hood and my bibs, gloves.....so I don't look anything like I normally do (well, normal is a relative term, ok!) A few squawked at...

I always learn something when I visit here! Y'all are just a wealth of knowledge - and thanks a bunch! I have a trap that is shaped like a box, and it holds up to 20 mice! Nothing for our birdies to get caught in, no bait or poison necessary! Then you could release the little buggers into...

Now that's just sad....it's only quarter mile to the mailboxes so I bundled up and walked it. Well, I did slide a few times........Wheeeeeeeeee! Not long after I stopped sliding I fell. Where's the justice in that? Didn't hurt much - just my foot, and hip and wrist a little bit. Who is...

Hey Annie! Yeppers - Loew's playhouse! Got it for half price winter of 08. Was going to use it for a garden shed, and worked on painting it between the wet spells of 09. Finally talked hubby into letting me get chickens by convincing him that they didn't have to stink and make a mess....or...
