I have a huge colony of harvester ants that have just discovered my grape vines... they are trekking from one side of our yard, around the house, and over a wall to get to the vines! My husband is hellbent on destroying the colony, but hasn't had any success. What would happen if I gave the...

My chickens will be 5 months old next week! I wanted to show them off:

Awesome pictures Flower, I didn't know that Quinoa would grow here. The plants are beautiful.

I don't have marek's disease! I'm blaming Gallo for the false alarm.

Awww, they are so cute!!

Thanks Gallo, that is true.. I think the chicken is doing better today, I took her out and bribed her with some corn to make her walk. I'm pretty sure she is limping a little less than before. I think I found the cause - My husband mentioned that he's terrified the chickens a few times in the...

That's a good point... she was probably still warm from being outside when I took the video. I think she was stressed out being inside, too. She spent the day complaining and bokking for the other chickens. She definitely could have jumped off of a high roost... and landed on the brick the...

I was worried about that... Could it be to compensate for being off balance? She kinda hangs the other one, too.

Good luck, Greg... I don't have any advice. One of my hens has been limping for 5 days... she hasn't gotten better (or worse) and I don't see anything visibly wrong with her foot. I mentioned it to Gallo and he brought up Merek's. Now I'm worried. I posted to Emergencies/Diseases and added a...

Cooper is adorable! Sonoran Silkies, they make me think of velociraptors, too!

You finally get to meet him/her!!!! Good luck!!!

Thanks cbnovick and flower. I think you're right... at least 1 male and a female. The other, most likely, is male. maddbaggins, good luck!!

The chickens are 7 weeks old, it's time to force you guys to look at more pictures! There are 3 New Hampshires (a German line), 3 Barred Rocks (Good Shepard line), and 1 Black Sex Link. All from desertmarcia. I'm pretty sure that 2 of the Barred Rocks are roos, and I have no idea about the...

Try the feed store.

I have no idea, but I think you are correct. That was my line of thinking as well... also I'm pretty sure the sex-link is a pullet

Wow jeepgirl13! Those pictures are amazing! Here are my chick pics. They are 3 weeks old, can anyone tell the roos from the pullets? 3 Barred rocks: 3 New Hampshires: A Sexlink:

Ask desertmarcy, her chickens are amazing. Most are heritage breeds and she shows them (and wins). The ones I bought are ridiculously friendly... I get the feeling that she spent a lot of time with them.

I just picked up my 7 chicks from desertmarcia. I brought a friend with and desertmarcia gave us a tour of her place... her setup is AMAZING. It was really cool to see the huge pens set up with the different breeds, and everything was so clean and orderly. Her chickens are beautiful! And the...
