Ok, so I have a 7.5 week old Pekin that is about 3/4 feathered and today out of the blue couldn't stand, would fall over, then not be able to right itself. It is eating and drinking well, is on a grower feed, and I add vitamins in their water daily.
Has anyone seen this? No other birds seem to...
Ok, for those of you out there that have a farm innovators Pro 4200, what do you find is the best way to run this incubator? I am about to use it for the first time so would like to know its pros? cons? how have you had the most success with it?
TIA!
I had 5 eggs in the incubator, one pipped on day 20 and hatched early in the morning on day 21 totally unassisted. One was a dud, and 3 are still left on day23. No pips in their shells, floated on the float test but no movement. Humidity has been good, temp constant, the one chick hatched...

Hello!
I am starting my venture into seeing if I can change the local bylaws. I am putting together some research, I have started a pretty generic FB page and will hopefully also start a website to start. I am looking for any advice on how to do this!
Thank you!

So, out of my 10 sexed hen Orpingtons, one is definitely all boy! I was just wondering what everyone does with their cockerels if they live in a residential area and are not allowed to keep them?
Thanks in advance!

I picked up my 8 buff and 2 blue orpingtons on the 12th of June. They were hatched the first week of June, the two blues being the newest being hatched on the 6th. The buffs were sexed as hens ( I know there is a margin of error), and I am thinking this one may be a Roo? It is one of the least...
