Thank you! I suspect that this person has no idea what they are talking about but they say it with confidence that makes people believe them. This is the wing of a “hard feathered” black Marans pullet they culled from their breeding flock. She is now here and has been treated for lice that she...

I have generally heard of hard and soft feathers talking about the flexibility of the feather shaft. But someone I know that shows poultry referred to hard feathers as the feathers that the barbs don’t stick together like normal. So is this indeed a feather quality issue or perhaps a result of...

Bethleham, Ga has a good vet. Dr Frost and Dr Thomlison You could take her in and save the house call fee.

I guess I should update I have been super busy. I had my baby Feb 6. He was 11 days early. Labor was long and difficult, but not too bad for a posterior baby that came out sunny-side up. He pooped before he hit the scale and still weighted 7lbs 14ozs. Probably was 8lb before the poo. He is...

Wow I'm due in less than 3 weeks with number 2. This pregnancy has gone so fast. Between chasing a 2 year old and farm stuff have barely had time to think about it all. I still have 2 trips to make to the 2 hour away processor next week. I'm getting nervous.

I should have some white midgets hatching soon. I'm in Statham Ga, 3 1/2 hours from you, but occasionally go up 85 to see my parents in NC.

a multi-vitamin is good if you are not already deficient. I would do a B-100 complex, vit D and some Magnesium Malate (or another chelated version not oxide) You will have to find a specialty shop or order offline. her is a link to a study on PMS and mag...

I had a quail egg that was huge and had a full size regular quail egg inside of it.

I was given some adult birds by someone who was supposed to bringing me eggs. He was coming into town so brought them. My birds free range so I did the best I could as far a quarantine at a moments notice. I put them in a dog kennel. Well a few days after they arrived I noticed the rooster...

I cloth diaper. I'm cheap. Pocket diapers are too expensive for me and the few I have don't seem to hold things in as good as a prefold, snappi and cover. I got my diapers fro Green Mountain Diapers. They sell both prefolds and flats (the large dish towel like fold your own). Snappis are...

Ebwy2- No offense here. Congrats on your positive! I go in tomorrow morning to have a d & c. Its funny the nurse said you will be very fertile for 3-4 months so make sure you use protection. um yeah. But I was trying to get pregnant, my first cost about a grand to conceive with clomid and...

I'm out. Just found out Thursday we have a blighted ovum. I was given the choice to wait it out and miscarry naturally which could take many weeks or have a d&c next week. Being that there was no fetal pole that tells me the baby has been gone since before 6 weeks and I'll almost 11 weeks...

If you are already exposed to tetanus a vaccine for it will not do anything except give your immune system more to work on. If you are exposed to tetanus you should be given a tetanus anti-toxin shot, not a vaccine. That said have fun finding the anti-toxin as most ERs don't even stock it...

4 hens laying, so plenty of eggs!

These eggs are from my Cayugas from Holderreads. Very nice looking birds. 12+ eggs. $20 plus actual shipping. Their eggs start out black and go to a light grey. I can even put in some eggs from my white appleyards mated to my Cayugas if you want. I hatched one last year and she is black...
