I have Nurture Right 360 incubators and they are great. You can fill the water from the outside and do not have to open the incubator. It also has a clear acrylic wrap around lid so you can easily see everything that is going on. I had no problem with my incubators maintaining 99.5 even though...

We are coming out the other side. My Faverolle pullet that I thought was going to die just finished up her last dose of Tylan 200 for the night. Tomorrow will be her 4th day of Tylan. How many days would your recommend I continue to dose her? I added Nutri-drench to everyone’s water and no one...

That works so much better! Thank you, Misti

Thank you for responding. I am 100% sure that I brought this home from the sale with me. I even think I know which bird was sick, in hindsight. It wasn’t obvious but this bird was quiet and let me pick it up with no protest - I just assumed that it had been somebody’s pet. It was the one bird I...

Thank you!! I hate to think that the best I can do for these birds is absolutely nothing. Your reply was very helpful. I have Tylan 200 and Procaine. I don’t have any amoxicillin but I do have Fenbendazole. I will start her on Tylan 200 first thing in the morning if she makes it through the...

Cyprus, Thank you for responding. I did not pull back the plunger. I don’t have any assistance and I had to hold the chicken and inject it. If antibiotics are useless, is there nothing I can do to try and save the birds that I have left? I’m located in southwest Oklahoma - we haven’t had an...

I am in some desperate need of help. 1) 5-6 month pullets, 5-8 lbs 2) I purchased eight 5-6 month old pullets at a sale on Saturday from different sellers. Everyone seemed active, healthy, eating and drinking the first three days and now they are sick. Two have died and others are failing...

Some hatcheries grind them up. Some people sell them as frozen snake food. You can buy bags of baby chicks on eBay. I’m guessing those were the roosters of the group.

What a blessing for this family to have you as neighbors. I love it that you welcome children to enjoy the delights of your yard so that they will have memorable experiences. People that don’t have livestock (I’m lumping chickens in to that group! ) may not understand the care we take to keep...

If you’re only letting the chickens out for a couple of hours starting at 5:00 pm then I would recommend crating your dog or keeping her in the house while they are out as you work on training her. A dog that age can spend several hours in their crate without soiling it. Since she’s hunting your...

I know this was posted several years ago but I’m a new member. I just wanted to thank the author for the thorough explanation. I want to set up a mobile area that I can rotate on our acreage as needed. The cost of electric poultry netting is prohibitive so I am going to give the two strand...

I’m following your thread in case anyone has a genius idea.

Thank you for having me!

It would definitely be neat to have Orps that laid colored eggs.
