Great thank you. He is so pretty, but I couldn't keep him bc I don't want to bother the neighbors. We will be moving in a couple years and there will be no neighbors this time!! Thankfully my girlfriend took him so I can still see him. He came from the brightest blue egg.!

I've googled to try to determine which is which, but as far as looks, they appear to be the same...or at least to my "untrained" eye. Here's a pic of my guy.

Thank you for posting that link. I don't think it's either of those that you mentioned...there has never been discharge of any kind from any of them. I looked at they symptoms of MG as well and I don't think its that either. So far Avian encephalitis seems to match the symptoms. I'm going to...

I'm so worried for my chickens!!! I'm scared I might lose my flock and I have no idea where to start to try and prevent another death! I hope someone knows what's going on and can give me some advice. 3 have died. ....The first one died when she was about 2 months old (this was a little over...

(Bump) I'm concerned it could be something else. Her sister up and died a couple days ago... Noticed she was acting kinda funny... Walking slowly and not keeping up with the others. I found her dead on the floor of the coop the next morning. It's the first time something like that has happened...

In the words of my son, "What the hens?" She's only 8.5 weeks old? Is she trying to crow or is this something else - she keeps her mouth open afterward...is she ok?

I bought some Bourbon turkey eggs from Arielle (along with others of hers from a BIN) and I picked them up from the PO this morning. I have never had shipped eggs (and there have been lots) with air cells as perfect as these! Every single one is intact and small...I can't believe they were...

Ok ok. So I was in denial. I had to have one last double check before he goes up on Craig's List. I hope he's well cared for at his new home.

grrrr....I know that I've edited posts before, including titles. Can't figure it out now!!!! ANYWAY........ Here's an updated pic of the little guy, now about 9 weeks old, for those looking for growouts (and maybe to check to see if he's still a rooster. Hey, I'm desperate here!!)

x2 Nuttyfrom6kids; thank you for posting the pics. If they are blue IRL, maybe it's just that the flash is on or in bright light?...that'll usually wash the color out. If you take a pic outside in light shade it should show colors more accurately (flash off)...or outside in the natural light...

Do you have any pictures of the eggs? And where are you located in NY?

LOL! What did he have to say about that? My husband tries to give me his little lectures, but as soon as I remind him about his several expensive guitars, several guns, not to mention all the paraphernalia that goes along with those.... his boat, his fishing stuff, etc. he digresses. And if...

Don't know what happened to your pic I used.... Well, I was asking about the hen in the 2nd pic, which I would guess is the one you said is the splash that came from a blue hen and a WC blue polish. I LOVE that look!!! Are you continuing on with that project?

How did you make her?

Great idea!!
