I do. Depending on how far the eggs are going. If they'll be there in 2 days, he'll packs removed from the freezer will keep the eggs viable in the back of the tractor trailer. I wrap in pool noodle, tightly closing the seam. The ends are open so the eggs can "breathe". I put wadded newspaper...

No... She would not ... When you pick them up after they have been fed or watered if you hit the gullet or they fight, or get excited, they will throw up. They can can aspirate on that water and die.

Yes... Absolutely ducklings will drink themselves to death. They are more time consuming and tedious to raise than chickens because you must take out the food and water. Then you have to find a happy medium between enough food and water, and not letting them choke or drown or starve. Ducks are...

I have a suspicion. Blue eggs are white. There are only two colors of eggs. Brown and White. In Americaunas and Mallards, other color layers, it is a benign virus actually bred into them...they're counting on it being there...that causes blue and green eggs. Most people don't know that, but...

Personally, I'd have put her in an antibiotic from the start. Amoxicillin. Now, I'd use Clindamycin. But amoxicillin if you can get it, and cannot get the Clindamycin. As far as Corid, I'd have done that, too, as often before you see blood, there is malaise and lethargy...with no interest in...

What part off VA, please. I live in NC. I have a friend that would love them. His ranged away...he didn't know they have to be confined several months to adjust range gps. They live on his neighbor's farm, lol. I could come get them depending... I've driven to Tennessee for hatching eggs.

You have 3 chicks in the pictures. One is frizzled. One is perfectly normal. The third is "normal" with a few feathers that might not be. So two straight, and one frizzle. The lightest one in the pictures is frizzled. I raise Seramas. I also have frizzled Cochin. I hatch my own. I also have...

It begins with them becoming unsteady on their feet. Falling forward on their face with the Seramas. Maybe just a little "off" the day before; depressed or "slow". Then they fall on their sides. Legs are spastic. There is even some twitching, if it progresses, of the head. I have given...

I hate to tell you, but sometimes, just as with humans, nothing had to be wrong. I had a rooster kill a year old RI RED hen, then pull her head off. He's fine. Period. If he'll kill one youngster, he'll kill another. My guess is it was a young roo. And getting to clise to the herbs, maybe even...

My thoughts exactly. Good eye.

That is, first of all, not a SILVER Laced Wyandotte. It is a Rooster, IMO.

The little one made it. Nearly died, and I got wrapped up in premature grieving for him. We managed to cover the tear in the yolk sac. He must have been earlier than we thought. His hatch day was still 4 days off when he came out, and they can take another 2-3 days to complete the hatching, and...

Not even your fault. He was doing so well, I thught he'd be fine. He was put on a soft dishtowel, and sleeping, mostly. Then, he began being very active, and was moving carefully, all day. I ran out, and was gone too long. Two hours. My daughter had checked on him, but sometime afterwards, he...

Just thought of something...Must be a female. I didn't stress it to check. But, I've never seen a male of any species dig this hard... not to do anything. (Ya'll know I'm joking, right?) Little levity. I'm tired. I almost took him to the emergency clinic last night at 1 am, but then I called...

He was, but his sac was huge. He was so preemie...what, 4-5 days. Today is 30 days he should have been in the shell. The sac was absorbing, and he caught it with his "thumb" toenail. I found him in a pool of blood. I only left to take kids to piano lessons. I never want to do this again. I have...

Ok... got it. Polyvisol done. Waiting for electrolytes.

Thank you...started Gatorade. Sugar water not enough, it seemed. Poor baby. He lost a lot of blood. If the Gatorade doesn't help, he's not going to make it. I sent son to get chick electrolytes. Is that Nutri-drench? It's what I give chicks when they are first out, or arrive from shipping. I...

Hanging by a thread. Weak. Not good.

Done. Waiting, now. Thanks. :confused::hit
