Ok, well the eggs I am hatching are Australorps (as always) and are now on day 22. During candling most of them looked great but a couple didn't seem to be developing at the same rate which I thought was weird seeing as they were in a fan forced Hovabator incubator, shouldn't be any hot and/or...

I tell you, I've jumped in the deep end here. We first started thinking about getting more dogs a few months back, we needed a little non shedding house dog for the kids and after the recent break-ins in the neighbourhood decided we also need a bigger still non shedding outside dog to guard the...

I have had my Hova-bator running for about a week now and not once has it gotten to 37.5. The first three days I could not get it below 39 degrees. I had the wafer thing twisted down as far as it could. And now it wont go above 35. I keep turning/twisting it up until the light turns on, leave it...

Sorry for the need help fast bit but the local vert is closing in 40 mins for the weekend. Here are some pics. Any ideas of what to give it medication wise? The vet nurses say they need to see it but I'm a bit apprehensive about spending $50 on a consultation for a $7 guinea fowl. Thought?

What a messed up world we have. Why are kids these days forced to grow up so fast

First off, let me say that i'm used to still air incubators. I've got my new Hova-bator running, getting ready to test out. I have a very accurate thermometer in there. The thermometer is reading 39-40 degrees Celsius (102-104) but when I open the lid and quickly put my hand in the air feels...

I've got my business set up so I hatch chicks on request. So far this is not working. (*PROOF: I just had a guinea keet die while writing this. The guy asked for eight, now I've got two with one egg piped that may or may not hatch. I feel like a criminal*). I originally (and still do) did the...

I had an eye test yesterday and was told that I have high pressure. And apparently this causes glaucoma. I'M TOO YOUNG TO GO BLIND. Anyway, the optometrist said she'll do more tests, Made a booking for friday. I'm just wondering what kind of tests have to be done. Do they ned to stick sharp...

This is a thread where you share how you feed, house, groom and train your show chickens. I have hatched out some future showing chickens. Obviously I don't know if they are show quality yet, but i'm wanting to know the proper way to bring up a show chicken. And a bit of information on show...

I have a previous post about a chick that I thought had coccidiosis. So I've got the medication today ( baycox). The chick goes up and down. Looks really sick, then fine. So I'm wondering if the medication will hurt the chicks if they don't actually have coccidiosis?

I was out for most of the day today. Got home at about 6pm and the chicks seemed fine. A few hours later (9-10pm) I went to clean their box and noticed a tiny bit of blood on a paper towel, then a sick looking chick. I don't know for sure if it is coccidiosis but thought it was a high...

I have a chick that has its left leg that stick out to one side. It had curled toes so i've put bandaids on its feet. Could this maybe be causing it? It is being brooded on newspaper with shelf liner on top. So is this something that it will get over or is it splayed leg?

She was in the nesting box last night. I thought nothing of it, sometimes my hens just decide to sleep in the nesting box. But then late this morning she went in there again and has been in there all day. She's not straining, just standing there with her wings out and panting. Are these early...
