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!

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!

A Roo packing peanut. WHY in heck do they pack male birds for people ordering all pullets. Don't they know people have to order pullets for a reason? That's the last MM order I place!

The second barred has no comb to speak of.

#2 - A Barred Rock, really and wow. They must have been packing peanuts too as they weren't on that option of possibilities list for my order. They have grown much faster than the others. IS that a BR trait?

They are six weeks old. I ordered 25 chickens so I have no idea why they would have included these "extras". Also, the Barred Rocks were not on the "Ornamental Collection" list of possibilities. AND, they're supposed to all be female.

I spent a lot of time this afternoon sorting my "mystery" chickens. Just to recap...they're from an "Ornamental Layer" collection from MM. I'm REALLY confused about these girls. Is this a "packing peanut"? I have four of them. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
