Hello folks, I'm Savannah, also known as Cuz. I had a chat thread about a year ago. Who knows where that went. Here I am aspiring to create a fabulous new one that'll probably crash and burn. Yay for unpopularity and awkwardness. Also that ^^^ is not an accurate representation of my...

Hai folks! So for those of you that don't know me, I'm Savannah, but my nickname is Cuz, call me whatever you want. ;) I've never been into the whole organized roleplay with specific roles or anything, so who wants to just do random free for all roleplay? Anything goes here do/say whatever you...

Hey everybody, I'm gonna make this brief because I'm in a hurry, but I had a broody mom sit on 6 eggs, 5 hatched 2 days ago (on day 23!) and at this point we are on day 25 and I've got a chick that hadn't broken the egg, but is alive. So I've broken into the air cell but every time I touch the...

Hey guys! I haven't been on here in a long time, but I've got a question about winter egg laying....I have found this solar powered light on Amazon and I am wondering if it would be ok to leave it on all night? It is a dim light, so I don't think it would stress them out too much. I'd just like...

Hello everybody, and good afternoon, I was moving my 2 week old pullets from Meyer hatchery to a larger brooder this morning, and I came across a chick that has a prolapsed vent....It poops and when it does a marble sized amount of vent lining comes out. I pushed it gently and it went back in...

Hey everybody! I have a beautiful little Sicilian Buttercup pullet named Isi from Meyer hatchery that is 8 days old, and just today I noticed she is acting funny. When I received the chick, I got her with 37 other chicks and I ended up losing 14 chicks, but I haven't had a death in a few days...

Hey there guys! I was just outside gathering eggs, and I came across a 3.5 oz egg, and I am considering incubating it. It was laid by my White Leghorn hen who is about 18 months old. I am fairly certain the egg will be fertile, and if so it will be a Speckled Sussex father. So, who out there has...

Hello everyone! I just had a friend call me with a problem....She came home yesterday and found a dead chicken, and it looked like it had been attacked by a predator, apparently it's insides had been ripped out. She had another dead one today that looked bad too, and was dead. This chicken was...

Soooo, I have an issue on my hands. I went to camp July 19th through 26th last month, and when I returned, I had lost my Red Orpington rooster. My dad had simply left it in the pen when it died, and then run over it with the chicken tractor, so as you can imagine, I could not exactly tell...

Is anybody coming to the county fair in Carroll County this year? The poultry show is on Thursday August 24th, as well as a showmanship event. I'll be entering some or all of my Red, Black and Blue orps, Black, White, and Blue Cochin, and Blue/Black/Splash Ameraucanas. Hope to meet a BYCer or two!

Hey guys, I have a slight epidemic on my hands......I had a hen with a bumblefoot issue about six weeks ago, I treated her and everything went ok, until I left for the beach for a week. When I returned, she had declined and was getting worse. I kept treating her, and now I have 2 other hens...

Hey guys, I really need your help, and this might be long, but just bear with me please..... I had 14 eggs starting out, 4 White Leghorn/Buff Orpington crosses, and 10 Buff Orpingtons, all from my flock. I had hatched out both varieties before with no issues, and have also shipped 12 to SC, 8...

Howdy folks! I didn't see a June HAL thread yet, so I figured I'd create one. I have 37 SQ Blue Ameraucana eggs in the incubator that I set a few hours ago, shipped all the way from Texas, so we'll see how they do. Anybody else got anything cooking?

Hello everybody, I am going to start breeding Olive eggers and wanted you all's opinion on what colors I should go with. I have a friend that sells Lavender Marans and Black Copper Marans, what color Ameraucana do you think I should do? I am only planning on getting one color of Ameraucana and...

Hello everybody, I am in need of some advice, I have a 5 week old mixed breed cockerel who is sitting on his hocks, and can not stand up, he leans back on them, and kinda flops around when he wants to move. His appetite is fine, he is eating and drinking plenty and is still quite vigorous...

Hello all, I have a 6 week old Buff Orpington cockerel in need of a new home. I hatched out 23 chicks and just sold most of them, but they did not want all the roosters, so the poor lonely boy got left behind. He is very sweet and healthy, he loves hanging out on my shoulder and is very...

Hello, I have a Black Australorp hen with a very swollen right eye that I need some advice with. I noticed yesterday that she seemed to be closing it a bit more than the other eye, but it didn't look too bad, so I was just going to keep an eye on her. This morning her was swollen shut and...

Austra-White cockerals. I have two currently for sale aged five weeks old, DOB February 2nd. They are white with a few black spots, and the cutest things ever. Austra-Whites are a cross between a Black Australorp rooster and a White Leghorn hen. This breed would be great for crossing with other...

Hey folks, I seem to have found myself in a small predicament.....I bought myself a refurbished IncuView incubator off of Ebay and set my eggs, they hatched with a 92% hatch rate and I was quite pleased. I have set my second batch after a thorough cleaning and the turner is not working! I...

Hey guys, So I had 22 chicks hatch in the past thirty six hours and some of them are White Leghorn x Black Australorp crosses. I hear you can feather sex those by looking at the beginings of wing feathers, pullets are more developed, cockerels less. So my question is, what chick safe methods of...
