"I had a broody hen once. I had read that dipping them in a bucket of cooler water will lower their body temp a bit and trick their brain into thinking they aren't broody anymore. People that wrote about this said they had immediate success. It…"
"My chickens had something that looked very similar to this shortly after I got them, they also sounded as if they had colds and if you opened their mouths they looked as if they had thrush. I asked my Mexican neighbors who have a bunch of chickens…"
"Fowl Pox most likely, there are both wet and dry versions. Google a bit to see which one you might have. Dry fowl pox it seems to run it's course and clear up on its own. Spread by mosquitos, pretty common."
I noticed this on two of my hens today. What is happening??
"I will call after I ask my hubby. We already have 5. I would love to have more, but need to check first."
"I may be interested, too! Not the banties, though."

"Hmmm, I'm worried that she might be too loud for us too. Sorry, I was hoping to help you out! Good luck finding her a good home."
"When you say, "crow" do you mean cock-a-doodle-doo, or just repeated loud squawking?"
"How noisy? I have a welsummer who is noisy, too. She squawks a lot after she has laid an egg. Is she loud ALL of the time?? If it is only sometimes, I will take her."
"I called Kirk's Handyman Service at 602-944-3658. I guess they were a sponsor at the Tour de Coops. I am working with Steve. He came out to look at my space about 3 weeks ago. I have yet to her about a plan or get a quote. So, if you want…"
