Ok So I was hoping all you knowledgeable people could help me understand this… Quick back story that led me up to this point.. There was a group discussion between me and few others on Canker and treatments… Some one then offered up treatment advice that has been apparently “well known”(I never...

Just saw this post was from years ago but thought I’d add my comment for people searching on same issue. The plier method is SOOO much easier and faster. You don’t squeeze hard. You gently squeeze on each side of the ball and then it pulls right off.

He is also a paint. I had purchased blacks from paint pen to breed but they both died at arrival from shipping.

So I had a question about paints… My paint silkie hatched some chicks and I have one thats all black with a couple white feathers on tips of its wings. Its almost like a reverse paint?! Is this normal? Also how long can it take for their feet to fully blacken? The colors been making its way down...

Thank u for taking time to respond!!

So is each hatchery different as to which breeds they mix for their EE? What are the typical breeds used when breeding EEs? Legbar and what else? Or is there really not a standard mix they tend to breed together? Idk if that makes sense. Sometimes I have a hard time articulating 😖

Do all legbars have the crest? Or the “mohawk” as I like to call it lol

Thank u so much for ur response and the link in telling the difference. This breed is new to me so it’s much appreciated! I read that hatchery sold “Americanas” as they spell it are not true Ameraucanas and are in fact EE. But, again, this breed is foreign to me so wanted some insight and knew...

I’ve seen like a blush pink eggs they’ve laid as well. Not mine but others. Thank you so much! I didn’t believe them to be Ameraucana’s thats why I wanted someone else to confirm! What would you say these EEs are bred with? I have other EEs as well he bought the same time as these ones and I...

Question… I’m new to this breed. My fiancé surprised me with chickens for Mother’s Day and was told they were Ameraucana‘s. Are the two in this photo really Ameraucana’s or no? TIA for taking the time to respond!

Omg I would of died! They thankfully were only around the coops which is a good distance from my house: that was bad enough! We never used any poison we just used the spring traps and bucket traps my fiancé had made awhile ago for mice he made some for the rats and then just did rat control like...

Thanks so much! We thankfully eliminated all rats shortly after this post!

I’m not sure if this is posted under the correct topic I apologize if its not. With that being said..So it was on my Fb BYC group that I heard about(for the first time) a couple days ago of a chick dying from strangulation from mama hens feathers! I just lost my first chick to this! I know that...

I read that and that was what I thought initially. Until someone else said its leakage. The sun I thought can turn white colored birds more yellowish than brassy like him? Is there any way to get rid of this brassy color if it is from the sun and not leakage? Other than keeping him out of the sun.

I have a question! I don't know a lot about breeding and genetics I’ve only read a little about it.. but I have 3 8month old paint silkies. My Roo just started to show Khaki leakage(which I read is more likely to happen with males if I remember correctly) is it normal at this age for it to...

Same! A friend of mine ordered paint eggs from a local reputable breeder and ended up with a black chick with quite a lot of white feathering.

Ohh ok got cha. I have Marek’s in my flock and this is one that had Dry Pox. Could any of these cause that as well? Im just confused. She was ok and just died within 10mins!

Was reading on this Marek’s fb group page about Oxine and people using it in their water to help with Marek’s and the health of your flock. Wondering what your thoughts are. Has anyone ever used this? Is it worth me even trying?(For anyone who doesn’t know..I have had an actual Marek’s Diagnosis...

Oh man.. like impacted crop? Isn't that usually treated with giving bits of bread soaked in olive oil or balls of coconut oil and massaging their crops?

It sounded like air. I did exactly as I read. She puked and passed away. She was 3yr old. I was just with her checked on her 10mins later and she was gone:hitshe didn’t puke clear liquid like my one hen. I saw the puke under her when I found her and it looked almost like mash. I cant help but...
