Hi everyone, I have a question I have noticed a few chickens sneezing they are 5 weeks old today. I looked at each chick and I do not see any discharge from...
Michelle, I would go ahead and give them a dose of terramycin just to be on the safe side. Let me know how things go with them. Take care, BRYAN mliga33...
Hello, everyone! Just wanted to check in, since it's been a while. Last year, I received 18 very sick Dominique chicks from Ideal Poultry. I lost one to a...
Well, I look forward to the pot holders Deborah, that will be a good item for the club. Sounds like your little Dominique operation is improving and I am...
Hi all! Recently, the subject of auto sexing breeds (as opposed to sex-link crossbreeds) has come up on another forum. I've read that Dominiques are an auto...
I noticed today that one of my dominicker chicks has feathers on its legs. Is there a dominicker breed that has this or is this a mixed breed chick? Judy...
Judy, this would be a mixed breed. BRYAN Judy <reamy_judy@...> wrote: I noticed today that one of my dominicker chicks has feathers on its legs. Is there...
So, assuming this is a mixed breed chick (another member has suggested that it might be a cuckoo maran), if I breed it to my dominickers how likely are the ...
Hey everyone! The chicks are doing great! They are 7 weeks old now and almost fully feathered. Is there any way I can tell a rooster from the pullets? I ...
Michelle, I am happy for you, please keep us posted. I did take a look at the pictures you posted. It seems that picture 4 of 5 may be a straight comb pullet...
Ok, I was finally able to post the pictures. They are under Michelle's Dominiques. One of the pictures is aof the ladies at 6 1/2 weeks old and the other is...
Hi Everyone, I wanted to find out if we can feed our chickens some fish food. Ok here is the background...we ran out of fish food(pond) and we bought a...
Phoebe went broody a few days ago, so I put some more eggs under her, and she seems to be ok. She doesn't want to eat, and I have to dip her beak in fresh...
Phoebe should leave the nest each day for about 15-20 minutes to eat, drink (and defecate). This is normal. Just make sure that she has food and water...
I did find an online guide for you, as well: http://www.ithaca.edu/staff/jhenderson/chooks/chicks.html I've only had time to skim through it, but it looks very...
I haven't written here in quite awhile, but I would like to inform everyone that a hen eventually did set and hatch a clutch of chicks! You can read about it...
Thank you for the helpful posts and links! I came home this afternoon (gone about 2.5 hrs), and Phoebe was gone! I FREAKED out! ....especially, since there was...
Broody poop indoors! PE-EW!! Fortunately, all our housechickens weren't broody when they were inside. I did have a Dominique hen named Reba who had a diaper on...
Sounds to me as though poor Phoebe went to take her daily constitutional and got lost! LOL! Even though they cooled, there is still a small chance that the...
Deborah: I would not give up on the eggs because they got chilled, it may just delay the hatch date a bit. However, the deal breaker may be in the broken egg...
Well, today my husband went out to bring all the girls their midday snack of bean sprouts. He visited Queenie in her tractor first. Opened the door to the run...
... Have you tried peaches? I gave my chickens a peach, and they almost took my hand with it! Apparently, it is their favorite so far. Phoebe is getting...
... We don't eat a lot of peaches, so we don't usually have them in the house. I'm just too fussy - like my peaches perfectly ripe, and that's hard to find...
I'm not sure we'll be having any chicks. I came home yesterday, and Phoebe was laying on one side of the pen, and the eggs on the other. There was also one...
Did you know that chickens like their feet washed? Firecracker got some stuff stuck on his feet, so I set him in the kitchen sink, and used the sprayer to wash...
