I have NEVER had any trouble before this hatch. This time I have chicks piped at the wrong end, chicks pipping then dying, chicks zipping then dying and they are all 2 days overdue. What the heck did I do wrong? I did the same thing I always do. Humidity 40-45% through the hatch temp 100.0. I...

I have had chickens for 7-8 years and I am struggling with two things still--- 1) The deep litter method always smells like ammonia to me. I end up cleaning out the coops every week or two. What am I doing wrong? We have great ventilation. Maybe I just have too many birds in there. I have read...

Several of my hens have bald spots on back right above tail. I first thought rooster damage so i bought saddles. It helped with one but not the other two. I then thought low protein so i mixed layer with flock raiser and supplemented with cat food. It did not help. I did have mites but have...

I went out tonight to find one of my d'uccle hens dead. She had a tear in her neck and a bare back. Her vent looking red and inflamed. She was lowest in the pecking order and even the other d'uccles did not really like her. Nobody really picked on her but they just didnt buddy up. I am so...

Has anyone ever seen this? One of our new zealand does has had 4 litters since we got her. Each time she has 4 or 5 live normal kits and several kits that are dead and in multiple stages of development. They are usually in pieces. Could she have a problem with one horn of her uterus? I am...

Does anyone know how exactly EE eggs are blue. I know it is genetic but is it a special chemical or what? I cant find any info on the web about why the eggs are blue and what causes it. We are having some issues with soft eggs only with the EE. Thanks!

Our flock became ill after getting some new birds in Dec. Necropsy was inconclusive and OSU said no need to cull. I am pretty sure they had ILT-Infectious Laryngotracheitis due to bloody mucus and symptoms. Our birds have recovered but will be carriers. I have read scientific studies, info...

Our flock has been diagnosed with ILT-Infectious Laryngotracheitis. Our birds have recovered but will be carriers. I have read scientific studies, info from vaccine manufacturer's and everything I can find on the Internet. The information I have found is all over the place. Some say carriers...

We have a very sick hen with resp symptoms. I want to bring her in the house but do not want to make our lovebird or cockateil sick. In looking online it looks like most poultry diseases are limited to "fowl" and some dont even cross over to geese or ducks.....

All I can find is a little green thumbs up at the bottom of the completed listing....
