I have 5 silver laced wyandottes, almost 3 months old. 3 cockerals and 2 pullets. Willing to sell 2 breeding pairs for $40/pair. Make an offer for all! (Only have 2 pictured, but can get more)
Just to be transparent, they are currently being treated for possible Cocci in my flock, and will be...
A few days ago, I noticed obvious bloody poop under the roos bars.. I immediately went out and got Corid, and started treating for Cocci, as I had a few chickens (2-3 months olds) that had droopy tails and puffed out and a few that were lower in weight than they should be.. I started treating...
This girl(?) Is about 2 1/2 months old.. I noticed this morning that she had pooped what seemed to be pure water, but I never saw her poop again, so I didn't think anything of it.. She was acting normal otherwise, from what I could tell..
I checked on everyone tonight, and she was off by...
The breeder and I are so confused with this one.. These are both chocolate orps (one light, one dark), came from the same breeder and breeding pair.. One chick is 7 weeks old, and the other is 5 weeks.. The 7 week old has a few curled feathers.. The 5 week old is nearly bald, although you can...
I have this little 1 week old easter egger that I got from TSC.. She is the only one who acts depressed.. She eats and drinks, I've given her electrolytes and honey water.. Pasty butt is not an issue, temp is good with lots of space to get away from the heat, clean water and everyone else is...
Some of you may remember me, while most probably won't, so I will reintroduce myself..
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am not new to chickens.. I started my first flock about 15 years ago and I was a very active member on here.. I sold my flock off about 7...
I've owned chickens for almost 3 years and have never seen this behavior before... I have two 1 yr old hens in with pullets and cockerals ages 6-8 months.. Neither cockerals have begun to crow yet and I have not gotten any eggs as of yet but have started noticing that the girls faces are getting...
I check my chickens frequently for anything abnormal and other than being thin, I've never noticed anything.. I went into the coop about a week ago and noticed what looked like white dust on one of my production red hens.. I thought it was strange so I looked at my rooster who has much darker...
Ok.. I'm already treating everyone as well as the coop so that's no biggie but I'm just curious as to WHAT it is..
I went out a few nights ago and noticed what looked like white "powder" on one of my girls.. I kept looking, lifting up her feathers on her neck and tail and didn't see anything...
I am very upset right now... I had two different batches of eggs in the incubator (forced air hova bator).. One batch (from my own girls) is on day 16 and the others (lav orps that were shipped) are on day 4.. I had them in a confined room until about a week ago but because it was getting to...
I have searched and cannot find the answer so I am turning to y'all...
I have a 1 year old hen that I hatched out myself last April.. She is a dark brahma bantam x Ameraucana and has never been broody... I grabbed the last of the eggs this evening and noticed a pile of black feathers...
I had a chick hatch out yesterday around 3pm.. The eggs came from someone on Ebay that a friend of mine ordered and split with me.. It has now been more than 24 hours and its legs are still not straight.. It's walking on it's hocks and the legs are turned inward.. This chick hatched on day 21...
I have 5 coops/runs that are in one area but not exactly side by side... I am looking to build a watering system with some PVC, nipple waterers and a rain barrel... Eventually (hopefully by next spring) I will be building a 25 ft wide run with 6 different pens in it and will have one long...
I have so many eggs in my incubator, there is no way I could even do a staggered hatch at this time... I would like to offer some of my EE's eggs...
The first EE hen is a RIR x True Ameraucana and lays very pale olive green eggs
The second EE hen is a dark brahma bantam x True Ameraucana...
Ok... I have my lav orps hatching out today... The first one hatched without a problem... Two more were pipped and finally started zipping this afternoon... I noticed the second one was hatching our just fine but the one that pipped second wasn't moving, except for breathing... Of course, this...
Today is day 23.. My hatch had gone perfectly until day 21 when someone apparently turned the thermostat up and the temp went to somewhere between 104 and 106.. I have a dial type thermometer from PetSmart so it was hard to see exactly.. I took the incubator into the bathroom and steamed it up...
Ok... I'm doing staggered hatches and just had 12 chicks hatch.. I set 18 eggs 7 days ago and when I candled last night, there were 3 definite blood rings and 1 clear.. Normally on day 5-7 I can tell if the eggs are viable or not but this time I can't.. I saw veins in the rest (except for two...
Ok... I was looking through CraigsList and saw this posting.. Hopefully it will stay up long enough for you to see it.. Hmmm... This would make an AWESOME hatching ROOM!!!! Dang I wish I had the $$...

Does a chick pipping through the yolk mean certain death?!?!?!?! I have one that did and there is a little drop of ooze but it's not like dripping out of the egg or anything... It was still moving last I checked.. Does it have a chance?!?!!
