We just treated our whole flock with Tylan to cure an eye infection they were passing around [it worked great BTW!]. They finished the course yesterday. For how long should I discard the eggs before they are safe to eat again after treatment? Thanks! Kelly

I am treating my flock "just in case" [see this thread for more details if you want them: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=200081 ]. I have VetRX and Tylan powder [water soluable] to give them now since the mail came . Can I give both at once or no? Thanks for any...

...7 days or so.... Another suggestion was an antibiotic that I could put in their water to treat the whole flock, but it would take longer to work. *Should* I treat the whole flock? Or just the two hens who seem affected? Is there anything detrimental to treating them all? And is it weird...

...had a full beard and muff just like the parents. They are extremely pretty chickens. My birds are all unrelated and very healthy. These are *very* beautiful EEs - not the "run of the mill" muddy colored ones many hatcheries have for sale. Whenever people visit my property, they try to...

I have one dozen Cuckoo Marans eggs ready to ship tomorrow [Monday] for $22 postage paid. With our flock, I have paid particular attention to temperament. My chickens are all raised as pets and are handled very frequently by both myself and my young children. I do not tolerate a mean bird –...

...a fine roo for a mixed flock if you just want his daughters to lay darker eggs. However, he is an otherwise sweet little roo and he is free to a *good* home [this guy is not for meat, it would kill my sister!]. You can see his pics below, please let me know if you are interested! I am in...

I have 3 12 week old Easter Egger cockerels that I need to re-home before they start crowing and my neighbors kill me. I am in the Kennesaw area of GA. All of these are bred from my own chickens, you can see the moms and father when you come to pick them up. Their father is a VERY gentle...

...that describes something like this. I need to know because I was planning to give away a bunch of my little roos this weekend to a friend and I *definitely* don't want to give them to her if they have some sort of disease.... All the other 50 some chickens in my flock are acting just...

...have been getting picked for a few weeks now and have bald spots on their backs near their tails. No idea why - these birds are not stressed in *any* way that I can tell and all 4 of them lay eggs almost every day. BUT, the real problem is the black australorp - she is not getting picked...

...Here is my Roo "Prince" [and he really is a Prince, best Roo temperament that I've ever seen and he's a *big* boy too ]: Here are two of my Ameraucana girls [these two girls laid the majority of the eggs I have to ship this week]. I have 6 greenish/blue eggs from these girls: And I...

My Sister bought 6 black copper marans chicks from a local breeder on Friday. These chicks are 2 weeks old. They all look fine, energetic, and healthy except for one. He sleeps all the time, doesn't respond when she comes near the brooder, is lethargic and sleeps even when she picks him up...

Hey, if I breed this guy with my EE girls, what will I get? Will those chicks carry the lethal gene [I *think* he's full bred Auracana, or close anyway]? Will I get cute chicks or freak chicks? Will his babies carry more of a blue egg gene? [he hatched out of a light bluish egg]...

...me, is "David Tasselcock" for sure a roo? [He's 16 weeks, came from a "pure ameraucana" group of hatching eggs which produced several pure bred *aurancanas* and some mutts, but no pure ameraucanas - I believe David is a pure Auracana]. So, is he a roo? David is the coolest chicken ever...

My sister has 4 hens that I gave her back in November. These gals have been living happily together in a run for all these months with no problems. The coop and run are big [more than 5 square feet per bird], they have tons of feed and fresh fruits and veggies [sis takes extremely good care of...

...Then there are the Cuckoo Marans. I have hatched many batches of these and have culled pretty hard and have ended up with 2 very beautiful and *NICE* Cuckoo Marans roos [the nice part was the hardest thing - I've gotten rid of a bunch of previous CM roos because their temperaments were...

My sister is dying for Blue Australorps and can't find any. Does anyone have any eggs, or better yet, chicks for sale? Or does anyone know where I can look? We are in GA. Thanks! Kelly

OK, I had 5 cayuga duck eggs in the incubator but had some serious temp control problems and I also neglected to turn them due to being slammed with things to accomplish the last couple of weeks. I didn't expect them to hatch at all. THEY DID! I have two of the cutest baby ducks I've ever...

I am being over run by cockerals here! LOL! Somehow I ended up with about 80% males in my hatches this winter, and I need to get rid of some of these boys. We may butcher some of them eventually if nobody wants them, but right now I just don't have the time! These are all between 9-12...

I have three 6 month old [26 weeks] Cuckoo Marans chickens for sale for $50.00 or will trade for a chainsaw in good working condition or open to other possible other trades [make an offer!]. I have 2 pullets at point of lay [should start laying any day now] and one rooster. They are an...

How hard is it to ship birds? I have four 25 week old cuckoo marans birds for sale and a lady wants to buy them really badly but she lives one state away from me. She is begging me to ship them, but I have no idea how to do that. How hard is it? What do I have to do? How hard is it on...
