    Add your vote! BackYard Chickens in Cedar Rapids, IA

    I voted in favor. I also read the comments that people are leaving. Some people are clueless. Then there are people who ruin it for the rest of us with poor animal husbandry. I think it should be legal to have chickens in town as long as they are kept to a small number, kept clean and well...

    Time away

    No way would I leave them. Too much can go wrong. The room temp can raise too much, causing brooder temp to go too high. Water can get knocked over or filled with bedding. Lamp could fall...etc., etc. Find someone to keep them for you if you must go away, or take them along.

    Just wondering how old before a roo crows???

    My OEGB roos started "crowing" at around 3 weeks or so. It sounded like a rusty screen door, but it was adorable. My D'Uccle roos didn't start until around 8 weeks, and they sound like someone stretching the mouth of a balloon and slowly letting the air out They sound more "goose-like" than...

    I have the Pasty Butt Blues... And a few questions!

    I've heard that pasty butt can be from the brooder being a bit too warm. I've also read on here to add a little ground up oatmeal to their food to help prevent it. Some people have had good luck with adding very fine chick grit or construction sand to the food...just a sprinkle on top. I have...

    Bantam Owners Out There - Give Me Your Opinion, Please...

    I have never had standard size chickens to compare, but I love my bantams. I chose bantams over large fowl as a beginner because I was less intimidated by them. I can have more birds per space and there are just so many colors and types. With the bantams I can get more variety because I can have...

    Neighbors have a prob with my roo..

    Are the windows in the coop allowing light in at night? Maybe try covering them with black plastic at dusk and uncovering when it is "acceptable" to crow in the a.m. SO far my roo only crows during the day, but I know I would try this before I got rid of "a very sweet roo". Feel free to "ramble"...

    help, why is my baby chick doing this? UPDATE: doing great (pic pg5)

    I had one chick out of 11 in March that did the same thing. He did it for about 4 or 5 days, and I thought I would lose it for sure. I gave him a drop of polyvisol mixed with water twice a day for two days and he, finally, quit gasping around 6 days after it started and now is as healthy as the...
