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...

I have a hen with a swollen eye. At first we thought it was from a weasel attack, or an injury, but I'm thinking now that it may be something infectious rather than an injury. I have one other pullet who is just keeping her left eye closed - it isn't swollen or anything, but she's keeping it...

I have one dozen Easter Egger Eggs ready to ship tomorrow [Monday]. Easter Eggers [also called Ameraucana or Americana or Auracana mistakenly by many Hatcheries] are wonderful chickens! Aside from the obvious “cool factor” that they lay green and blue eggs, they are also extremely bright...

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 –...

My sister bought a group of expensive young BCM chicks who were "guaranteed" to be pullets - but no, this little guy sprouted a tail. [she lives on a very small urban lot and can't keep any roos]. He is 13 weeks old now. This was her favorite of the bunch and he has been pampered and held...

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...

About 4 weeks ago, one of my EE pullets started acting weird - she just stood around with her eyes closed, swaying like she couldn't catch her balance, and puffed up & hunched like she was cold. She wasn't being very active, was only eating a little, and seemed very sick. Truth be known, I...

My sister has 4 hens in a very large area - they have a nice set up, plenty of food, water, protein, toys, room - lots of stuff. They are spoiled completely. Two of the four have been getting picked for a few weeks now and have bald spots on their backs near their tails. No idea why - these...

I have Easter Egger eggs for sale. These are from my flock of EEs and Ameraucanas. I am asking $18 including shipping to any of the 48 contiguous states. I'm also always open to barter. My Easter Eggers all have good temperaments and lay well. I'm attaching pics of some of them, you...

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]...

I have a friend coming in one hour to take most of my roos. I have to make a decision - keep or give away. I need to severley limit the roos I keep & I have 1 EE [Prince] & 1 cuckoo marans I am already definitely keeping. So, tell me, is "David Tasselcock" for sure a roo? [He's 16 weeks...

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...

This is long, but if anyone has an opinion or advice I'd love to hear it! OK, I had a grand master plan to breed 7 different types of chickens [EEs, Ameraucanas, Cuckoo Marans, Black Australorps, Buff Orpingtons, Silkies, and OEGs.] My husband and I made up this plan last year, and this plan...

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...
