Welcome to KCLF!

Blue egg is dominant?? So does that mean my Silkie/americauna layer will lay blue eggs? The father was americauna.

Thanks you guys so much!!!! Yes, duh, I didn't even think about just removing the said rooster. That would def work for my Americaunas since their eggs are blue. But alas if I want BLRW Id have to seperate the 4 chickens. Because I can't tell their eggs apart from my other brown layers. ;)) you...

I'm going to try to ask this question without it becoming to complicated. lol I let my chickens free range together. Lets say I want to hatch out some eggs of only americaunas. So I go get my americaunas and I separate them from the pack. How long do I have to wait before those eggs are only...

The video of the white bird is what my rooster was doing as well. I treated the white bird for 3 days with Tylan and she returned to normal. I believe I am dealing with some sort of respiratory illness. In hind sight I will not go less than 5-7 days of treatment any more. I believe my rooster...

The rooster died. He relapsed. Apparently 5 days was not enough. Should have gone 7-10. Next time I'll know better. Thanks for all your suggestions.

So I went out today to get the video, and of course he's not making the odd noise as much. So maybe the tylan is helping. I think I saw a sneeze and he is definitely rubbing his head on the ground some. Also he had some like drool on the side of his beak (like a big dog). Lol he doesn't act to...

It could be a wheeze. But it's not with every breath. Maybe some head shaking. But no other symptoms. Actually A little unbalanced. I'll send a video tomorrow. Thanks for caring. Every chicken I've tried to treat always dies. We have about 3 loses a year.

I'll try to get a video up of him. He's been doing it for 3 days now.

The thought crossed my mind that it could be sour crop but the hen in the video has it as well. She is mostly caged. He is free range. I was thinking it's possible they could have come in contact with gape worm but unlikely. More likely they share a respiratory disease. I don't know though. Why...

Thanks for the response. I just went out there and tried the q tip down the throat. Without any results. Although I know that doesn't mean it's not gape worms. However, his breath was awful. Smelled sour. He's also scratching at his head. Jeez, I can never treat chickens. They always die once...

I have two chickens with this. However, the other chicken is a rooster and makes odd hiccup sounds with it. I am assuming this is a cough or a wheeze.

What do u guys think about that dry lock paint?? Has anybody used it? Is it safe for chickens? I was wanting to use this in my outdoor brooder.

Awesome!!! Thanks you all.

I recently starting building a large chicken coop and wanted to seal in the flooring. I've read a lot of people use linoleum. I also saw some one suggest roofing cement. Fleas anybody have any experience with the roofing cement. Or what you might think is the best?

We love this chicken at our house. We didn't raise her from a chick, so I find it interesting how much she loves to be held. Whenever I'm out in the yard, she will squawk continuously until I come hold her. She likes to be held like and baby and goes right to sleep. Funny, I have never had a...

I do things a bit differently. I wash mine and store them in a wire basket. They last a long time. I don't keep count of how long. I don't mark them with dates. I just make sure I crack them individual and not in my recipe or pan. If it smells funky, it's bad. If there is no smell, I eat it. I...

Yes, I have a converter. Why didn't I think of using it? I've used it to run a radio and fan while painting a rental property. Duh! Thanks for the tip!

I know right!! My husband is brilliant. Lol all I could come up with was hot water bottles.
