Here is the thing ... I am hoping someone can answer right away as I forgot until about an hour ago that I need to stop the egg turner. Incubator is foamy style GQF. Never understood the 'lock down' part of hatching before but I am understanding that it does dry out the membrane making the...

Hooray for elsasmom and pearl!!! oopse...this a little late but very heartfelt!!!!

Here are a few thoughts for what it is worth: 1) Northern Michigan Lamb and Wool Festival September 29th and 30th, 2012 West Branch, Michigan This is taking place at the Ogamaw county fairgrounds. This makes me wonder if county fairgrounds would be a thought. Maybe there would be a lower...

carlye828 No 'Soup' won't be hitting the pot...He's going to be our 'stud' here for the Leggy girls. We marked him so we could keep track of him...Super Comb (AKA Soup) has got a buddy chosen to help him hold down the fort...At a crazy 7 weeks old the world heard a solitary TINY crow. So we...

Why would mites/red mites cause a bloody smear on an egg? This is new to me. I looked up this topic, of course, because my daughter collected a smeared egg. We do have 3 pullets but if they have started to lay, they didn't lay a little one first that we found they laid an average egg from the...

For what it is worth...Kelp tablets (I get this from Swansons Vitamins-cheep) and Red Raspberry Leaf tea (again, I get this from my health food store in bulk) help tremendously with hormone fluxuation and bringing things back to normal levels. This is of course my experience but it would be a...

chloezoebob101, I don't think it says anything about size so not sure what the 'judges' will use to determine a winner AND your chickie has her own unique comb so that is best plus I feel like she is looking right at me out of my screen! Like it!

Wow ascott25! Now I know why my Soup is getting so weighty on the head luggage! Your roo is a beauty! That is a super comb! btw Welcome to BYC

Wow these are some BEAUTIFUL Birds! The photography is all really nice too!

A great picture of a chicken’s comb. Well, my camera is not working as well as it should and let's face it ~its outdated BUT just for fun may we introduce SUPER COMB (btw we were calling him this before reading about the posting for comb pics! What a riot we had taking the pics too!) Breed...

galanie Thanks for checking out the pics...I wish I has taken some photos the day they came home but it didn't happen. I would be really nice to compare them now And I really don't have a clue as to whether the comfrey did anything or what. File it under the 'wish I knew' catagory and sail on.

michickenwrangler I am sending many *hugs* and no I have no personal understanding of what you are going through. We probably have really different perspectives on life such as I tend to pray when life is really hard. I hope you are Okay with me praying for you now. Either way please know...

NOTE: IMHO I personally do not think de-beaking is a good practice. The Chicks are 3 and a half weeks old and the pullets do look different. The beaks have grown with the chicks to be sure but they look almost normal. The little boys have some hanging over the top. The girls look like they...
