Ok good chicken people, I have a bad problem. I woke this morning to find my previously healthy flock of 1 and 2 day old chicks sick. Some unable to stand up, some behaving like they are drunk and one with her wings outstretched and eyes closed. What is this?

This idea had never occurred to me until this article arrived in my inbox. None listed on the west coast unfortunately but I expect that with a little bit of investigation, one could find some...

I have a month old Barnevelder pullet who just a couple of days ago started behaving like she's ill. She is puffed up, standing and peeping quietly She was eating scrambled egg when this first started but now wont eat anything. I have her on Corid since yesterday. Poop appears normal but I am...

Dedicating a bed to Blueberries this fall and would like to know which varieties are at the top of anyones list!

My adult hens, 1 - 3 years have been laying jumbo eggs pretty consistently for the past couple of months. These babies are weighing 65 - 71grams and I am getting them daily, not necessarily from the same hens everyday but daily eggs. They get Flock Raiser free choice all the time and I...

Please advise if these are actually Blue laced Barnevelder chicks. I just hatched these out from shipped eggs and now I'm reading that they should have yellow legs, and the eggs I hatched these from were pale brown not dark!!!!

I am looking for opinions on the above supplement for chickens. Do you like/recommend it? If so, why, what are your results? Thanks for the time.

OK my gardening friends, I have a question about garlic. I grow lots of it, every year and I don't quite understand what my garlic is doing when it produces 5-6 little round bulblets mid way up the stem. Usually on these plants, the actual bulb itself is rather small. Are these little...

My orchard is young, this is year 6. I have almost no fruit on my trees this year. Last year my pears and my apples were heavy, well not heavy, heavy but with enough fruit to need thinning. This year I have probably a third of that? I am afraid that our bee/pollinator populations must be...

I know this is a project color, does anyone have any hatching eggs available or know where I can look?

I grow tomatoes in huge quantities because I can them for a year's worth of food for the family. I planted 170 plants this year all from my own collected seed. I have hybridized a Black Plum x Brandywine that I call Brandyplum which I have managed to grow true from seed for the past three...

This chick hatched out for me this morning from eggs rescued from an abandoned nest! It's sibling hatched a little while later. Cute or what!!!

I was hoping one of you genetics folks could answer a question for me. My BCM x CCL cross produced 2 sexlinked pure black pullets and 2 barred cocks (10 weeks give or take now), if the cross had been the other way around, CCL X BCM would my pullets have been barred? A poster on another forum...

My neighbor is delivering 3 wild turkey eggs to me to incubate. Do they require different temps and humidity to chicken eggs or domestic turkey. I have not incubated turkey eggs before so any assistance would be helpful. Mother apparently abandoned the nest on account of the neighbors dog...

I hatched out some BLRW, 12 eggs, 9 hatched, 5 pale yellow, 3 mid grey and yellow, 2 grey, 1 dark grey. The pale yellow chicks feathers are coming in with no other color other than white. Are they going to develop any other color?

I just hatched this little one out about 3 days ago and it has had poopy butt from day 1. It seems to me that his vent is too small and the poop can only kind of trickle out. Sorry for making you look up his butt. The chick is lethargic sometimes but not all the time, has a quite hard lump...

@sumi, are you able to tell at this young age if this fellow is a 'fellow'? I have also included two pics of his sister, hopefully it's a sister . Thanks.

Here is a pic of my almost 4 week old roo, 'Cuffs', he is a BCM x CCL baby. His mother 'Cotton', when she was the same age as he is, had a passion for my cuffs on my cotton sweatshirt. She would pull and tug and mess with them whenever the opportunity arose. She was a wonderful, friendly...

I have a hen that has a very stubborn case of lice. Permethrin powder is not doing the job sufficiently so I would like to wash her and all of her coop mates. What do any of you recommend for this?

@azygous @WVduckchick I just got back from a residence near me after getting a call from the caretaker saying that one of the hens was really sick and behaving weird and the woman didnt know what to do. So I go out there to find a hen, RIR, rolled over on the coop floor with her neck bent over...
