Predator took two Silkie hens from the tractor last night. It was latched but whatever it was broke the hook. Didn't alert me or the dog, which is strange because one of those hens was brooding eggs and would not have gone quietly. Only a few feathers around the tractor, no tracks that I can...

My cracked egg baby is chirping at me!! I woke up to say bye to my mom and let the birds out. When I went to lay back down again, the dog was staring at my incubator. So I stopped and put my ear to it, and sure enough, shes in there chirping away. Hopefully her hatch will be easy and while I'm...

Thank you Lydia, found what I need. Also, the first one was all better before I got this bird. He was sick when I received him.

Droopy, my sick bird, has been started on Tylan and is in isolation. I feel bad for him because he is outside in the cold at night but there's nowhere else I can put him that he won't infect my other birds.How often can I give Tylan? Weekly? Daily? My other sick one cleared up after just one...

I understand that... BUT she also sold me a bird with an upper respiratory issue who was covered in lice castings (no bugs but still) She had to have known he was sick, his eye is swollen and gunky and he clicks when he breathes. And she sold me eggs from a pen she claims to have tested...

I am VERY disappointed in a certain BYC member. I asked for fertile eggs. Paid for them, picked them up, stuck them under a broody.... Day 16 is today. I candled, the ones that didnt have life, I cracked. NONE of them were fertile!!! Only ONE egg has a moving baby inside. All the others had...

Thank you! I have seen the egg move several times today so she is definitely still alive in there and trying to get into hatching position

Guys, will you please cross your crossables and send happy hatching thoughts my way? I have a badly cracked egg in the bator that got cracked on day 18 and is now on lockdown. I have removed all my other eggs to a broody for safetys sake. This is my special girl Cadbury's egg and I will feel...

Goodness. Yesterday was just not my day.. I got lost going to the doc (again), I got bit by my moms supposedly nice cat, and almost drowned trying to rescue my dumb Silkies from the rain. However... Today will be a better day, as I am cleaning out my room so I can move all my furniture...

My hen that had the eye problem? Shes all better now, just got a bath and will go back with the family tonight I dont think it was a respiratory problem or anything like that, I really think, she is a very ditzy girl and I had recently put in new branches to make their run more...

Does anyone know where I can find that thread that has day by day candling pictures? At least I think its a thread... or maybe an article... I want to compare my hens eggs to the pictures to see what I should be seeing and am not.

Hi! Nice to meet you! What all do you have in your flock?

They are cute! They will make friends soon, they are just trying to get used to their new surroundings first. Good luck

Just the one that Matt listed above. I cant decide whether to get the cheap shipping for plastic ones off eBay, or get the metal ones for exorbitant shipping. I have heard the plastic ones wear down easily so it may be worth the money to get the metal ones...

Awesome! Thanks, I had found them finally but was having a hard time finding someone who sold metal ones.

I saw this really cool waterer while at Chickenstock... It looked like a regular water bottle but had a white converter on the end to make it into a drinker for the caged birds. It was not a poultry nipple, it was more of a tiny bowl... I am searching and searching on here and google... Cant...

I was a VERY busy bee today! Got up at 5 to go to Chickenstock, sold some birds, bought some birds, came home, did some major cleaning, refilling of water/food dishes, stocking of runs with fresh cut grass (and I mean FRESH, as in my mom wasnt even done mowing yet fresh).... I think Im finally...

Just ordered my very first incubator!! Hova-Bator 1602 I cant wait to hatch out my own chicks

What size needle should I get for injecting my Silkie? Was about to run out to TSC but then realized I was totally ignorant about needles... Help?

I have a SIlkie hen (approx 2 yrs old) who started holding her eye shut yesterday. I couldn't find anything wrong with it so I left it alone, now she has goopy junk all over her eye and its starting to look sorta crusty. What could it be and what do I do about it?
