Great incubator! I'm moving and have to liquidate my chicken equipment. This is the newest model, bought last year, only used twice. Does not include egg turner. $100 plus $15 shipping. Thanks!

Brinsea Eco Glow 50 Brooder. In great shape. I have to move somewhere that I can't have chickens so I'm getting rid of my equipment. Please message me for picture. $10.00 for shipping. From the website: Clean, safe, tough and extremely economical chick brooder the larger EcoGlow 50...

Thanks for your advice and compassion fishnet1971. I hadn't thought of the towel but now I can't beleive I might have done it without it! It's strange. I've lost lots of birds to predators, seen their lifeless bodies, etc. But there's something so different about actually doing it yourself.

Thank You Dawg53. Right now that's the method I'm feeling most confident about.

Thanks for your reply Mskayladog. I read through most of that thread and I may try it. She's pretty big so maybe I could use a large plastic storage box? I'm going to read more about it.

Thanks for your reply Miss Lydia. She's partially paralyzed so I don't think she'll be moving too much for a proper aim...at least I hope not .

My sweet chicken has Marek's disease.

Hi Y'all, I come to you with much needed advice on how to dispatch one of my very sick chickens. I know I'm going to sound like a total wuss about this whole thing but I'm quite attached to this chicken. My husband is working out of town for two weeks and he usually does any chicken...

Is that something I would contact my Extension Agency about?

A few days ago one of my two month old hens stated showing signs of Marek's. Now I have at least two more chicks showing it too. I've done a lot of research and looked at many pics and I'm sure it's what they have. I have 20 other chicks and 5 two-year old hens all living together. What am I...

Thanks again everyone! I've got all but six identified now. Y'all rock!!

So in my order of 25 pullet chicks, I could have gotten no less than 6 packing peanuts?! All male hybrids. Could you tell if #2 is a BSM or BRM if I post a picture of his feet? Or more of his body and feet?

Does it matter that the lighter one has a large comb and the darker one has no comb at all?

Thanks for your input. Yes! The BRLW's are so pretty!
