I am looking for anyone who has eggs for sale close to Fort Wayne and Columbia City. I Need to set eggs to be ready for our Fair. That means setting them on the 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25th. Eggs must be pure except for EEs or Olive Eggers. Otherwise I can get a mixed batch. Thank You ahead of time.

I have a young trio of Midget Whites I purchased in September. I saw the tom breeding one of the girls last week but no eggs. When I went outside today neither one joined the flock for treats. One was in a brush pile and the other was in the coop. I found 1 egg in the coop and 2 over in the...

I have been checking her everyday for the past 3 weeks and the last couple days she hasn't let me get a good look at her. This morning she was turned around in the nest and I got a good look at her eye. It is dry, crusty and poofy. What could cause this and what can I do to help her? She is in...

I have a 6 week old turkey poult that got out and into my flooded barn. He is now covered in ick. How do I go about giving him a bath. Someone mentioned using my cold hose water and just spraying him off. NOT going to do that. He is to young for the cold. Help please.

My friend has 6 chickens and one swan that could use some sexing. I think I the sex of some but not all. The first 3 up are silkies. They are a little dirty from the goats trying to eat them. #1 #2 #3 #4 I think this is a Seabright Cockerel?? #5 I am guessing this one is a...

I am upset at my daughter even though it was an accident. She went into the pasture (even though she has been told over and over not to without an adult) and my horse saw her so she went running over to get attention. In the process she stepped on one of the Faverolle boys I was planning on...

In Dec I purchased 6 hatching eggs off of a different auction site. Out of the 6 eggs my friend (an experienced hatcher who hatched 100s a year) hatched out 2 eggs. After doing an eggtopy she found the other 4 were NOT fertile and one of the two chicks had wryneck/"stargazer"(as the breeder...

I am on my way home from class so I don't know the extent of damage but my mom and daughter heard a ruckus in the brooder and DD found a chick dragging its leg. Has anyone had success in splinting a leg and getting it to heal? T5he chick is about a week old. I don't want to put it down but...

I have a broody sitting on 6 eggs. After trying to get her to stop being broody I had finally given her eggs. The clutch is due to hatch next week and I was wondering how long will it take her to get back up to weight?

I have a first time freshener that kidded Sun evening. She started having diarrhea yesterday. So far she is bright and alert, eating, drinking, normal temp and milk production is holding and (she has dumped some each time) I think even increasing. I went ahead and dewormed her since she was due...

I went into TSC 3 weeks ago and came home with 2 Blue Sweish and 1 Black swedish ducklings. At what age will I be able to tell what sex they are?

We watched a movie in class today that I now have to own. I had never heard of it before. I am just glad society has made it from the days of segregation that we used to have. I am also glad to see that Johns Hopkins gave Vivian Thomas the credit he was due. Now I also have to go research him...

Back in Nov I agreed to help out my Great Aunts friend. She had a goat given to her and she wasn't ready to bring her home so she asked if I could bored her and use my buck on her. I agreed for feed costs and if she had twins I got one for my freezer. Well I have been trying to contact her for 2...

I took 4 of our Americans to show yesterday. For my second show I don't think we did to bad. White 6/8 buck took BOSV (however he was the only 1) with judges comments being type-good, shoulders-good, midsection Lacks, and hindquarters lacks. We have a doe in the barn that is good in the areas...

Keep your fingers crossed for me. My Sr. Doe went down on me today. Her body has been giving everything to the baby/babies and it is leaving nothing for her. She has been treated but so far no improvement and now this. I did notice that she has lost her plug so hopefully she has it/them tonight...

I started collecting my Faverolle eggs last week when I made arrangements to get MFC eggs. The MFC should be here today. My problem is will my Faverolle eggs be ok? I have not been turning them. They have been sitting on the counter with the small side down in a carton.

I had a friend from my MA class come over to help me draw blood from the goats. I figured since she was interested in getting some she might as well see this part of their care. We get all 4 of the does done and since I only have one more vacuum tube that has vacuum I did the buck. I have the...
