I got 3 Pekins and 3 Royal Palm turkeys this spring. They all run free with my dozen or so chickens. Now someone just laid a whopper of an egg on the floor of the coop in a shallow nest. How would I know if a duck did this, or one of the turkeys?? Set in there and watch all day?? I was also...

Heres a pic of my 3 royal palms at 8 weeks old today. Nothing has developed to make me think these are Toms at all, so can anybody tell me?? Thanks.

I have 7 SFH eggs in the Incubator ...waiting on a Mother's Day hatch....

Does anybody near Lansing have Muscovy?? (2016)

I appreciate the info...I came on looking for information about how much copper was in corn and Oats, but was seeking advice for Sheep, which can't have too much copper. I found post 2 of 42 on the very first page very helpful, but I couldn't manage to print it. Thanks whoever posted it....

I throw a couple handsful to my chickens before they roost up on very cold nights. I read it brings up the body temp a little and helps them stay warm. Too much tho and they'll want nothing else and they'll get fat.

Kathy, I measured 22 TBL, I used some, maybe up to a Tbl and a half at most.

yes, can measure whats in mypackage, will do it tonight when I have food the kitchen put away. I don't want antbiotic dust fyingarouynd :D

yea she was injured when I found her in the morning. They'd all come down from the roost and this particular hen wasn't walking around, and she had blood coming from her comb. I picked her up and put her in the nest box to keep her from the others, but the next day she was out again, so I...

my package: Here's my girl, she's a Swedish Flower Hen....

oh gosh, now I'm really confused......I made a couple of posts, then kept reading down thru the thread. Do I have this right?? You guys finally settled on 1.25 teaspoons of the Oxytet podwer to one quart of water?? I'm treating a hen, she weighs about 5 pounds I guess. I know I'm not...

HA! there it is, the exact answer I'm looking for. OMG I've been just scooping up about a 1/3 of a teaspoon and putting it into about 1/2 cup of water. it' very dark yellow. I think this is WAY too much. Am I going to kill my chicken??

interested in the answer to this.....I have ONE sick adult chicken and I've not gotten a straight answer from anyone on converting the dosage. I called a Pharmacist, a Vet, and my own dr's office. Scary. My problem is I do not know how to convert mg into teaspoons, and then because its just...

This one on the right, do you think he's a SFH cockerel? I ask because I'm in doubt about the comb. I had to foster my chickens out due to a fire and just got a bunch of them back, this is a very beautiful rooster but I'm just not sure if he's actually one of mine. thanx

those chickies are SOOOOO cute.
