Hello all, my name is Kim and I received an incubator for my 45th birthday from one of my daughters. We've had chickens for many years but had only purchased what we needed from time to time from the feed store. My kids have done 4-H for seems like forever showing rabbits, poultry and Cornish...

Found the LED light in my sons room (Room was actually tidy and found it on top of his dresser ) Candled the egg again and I'm pretty positive I see shadowing. Would this mean it had internally pipped?

I got an incubator for my birthday and a friend gave me 6 American buff goose eggs to hatch. I did tons of research before I started them, including reading Pete's article probably 10 times. Still asking myself why I had to pick the hardest thing to incubate my very first time Out of the 6 eggs...

I dealt with the same thing last week. Lost 4 hens in 2 days and still trying to nurse one back to health. Was told by poultry guy at OSU that it sounded like they had gotten something viral from the wild birds. He told me to get them on Tetracycline as soon as possible. I have had them on...

Since the previous evening SilkiesForEver. I waited till the kids got on the bus and went to go take care of her. The other hens showed they werent feeling well and by the next morning they were dead. I know they were dead because I removed them from the coop. We moved all the chickens out of...

All the hens were of good weight.Sick one day, gone the next. Ive been watching poo and Ive not seen any blood which is the only thing missing for Coccidiosis.But the one that come up sick have had very runny diarrea. No swollen comb, waddle or earlobes which would be Fowl Cholera. No wheezing...

My hens do not free range, but I do let them out once in a while in the back yard while Im working in the garden or yard. I havent let them out in a while. They range from 2 to 3 years old and I have not brought in any new chickens since last year and Im a huge believer in quarintining. Because...

My kids and I went on a road trip Tuesday and left at 4 am in the morning and we figured we be gone most of the day, so my DH fed and watered animals that morning. He called me and said that 2 of my 9 laying hens was dead. They all looked good the night before when I fed. We got home from our...

I bought 4 pigeons from a small animal auction on a whim... I had pigeons of my own over 20 years ago and have always loved the cooing sounds...very relaxing for me. Anyway I thought they were beautiful and have totally forgotten everything about pigeons. Have researched on the computer and...
