Hey everyone - I have since done an ALL-IN-ALL-OUT culled all my birds. Now I am back to square one. I purchased some PULLETS off a lady - has superb chicken health practices and does not have any "mycoplasma - CRD - Cryoza" of the sort in her flocks. I got 5 birds off her - they are all...

I had a cream legbar hen drop dead on me...on a Thursday so could not even send it fresh enough for a necropsy and I refuse to kill a cream legbar on a Monday for a necropsy. I foolishly took in some birds from a friend (never again will I do that). Pretty sure my precious cream legbars are...

so do you think its safe to say that 7 days past a hatch date the left over eggs are never gonna hatch? No pips and no movement. All info appreciated.

I swear I post on here more than anyone - I cannot believe I am having so many issues with my chickens . . . I just have a question I need clarified; what does "incubation period" mean? does it mean that is the number of days it takes to get bad? like a spreading virus or bacteria or something...

Hey all - one of my Cream Legbar Hens just DOPPED DEAD!!!!! OMG!!! I am just so devastated. Ugh, I am so choked. She was in the corner of the pen, at first I thought she had her head stuck in some chicken wire, but then I went right up to her and she was just stiff as a board, under the roost...

Expert advice needed *** I have a turkey poult obviously in a bad position in the egg :( it has been struggling for 2 days then I intervened. I took off quite a bit of the shell - looks like a vein ruptured deep inside (i did not get that far)...the chick is alive and still trying to get out...

I am pretty sure some of the chickens I got from a friend have or have had OR are carriers of Mycoplasma Gallisepticum (MG). MG is a bacterium. It is the main 'causative agent' of Chronic Respiratory Disease (CRD) and infectious sinusitis in chickens.) They have been separate from my original...
