I have a Cornish cross hen that went limp today. It's not that she's too heavy to move, but her legs and wings have stopped moving, doesn't really move much if I turn her upside down. Very lethargic and unwilling to eat or drink and is breathing heavy. This just started today and none of the...

This one was the first out, and also the sassiest so far lol. Most likely a silver lace wyandotte/rhode island red

I guess i have some real early birds, 2nd one has hatched!

I'm a little late posting but i set my first ever incubation around the 12th. Started with 12, have 10 looking really good, and one hatched early today! When they were first set After candling the first time at 9 days i decided on adding more eggs after i made a hatch box to lockdown and...

Yesterday I found one of the chicks outside the coop, even after putting up more chicken wire. She was sitting outside crying in the snow trying to figure out how to get back inside. Really glad I found her soon enough!

Update: she made it through the night and stopped breathing in a weird way. Laid a weird shaped egg but seems to be good now. Still no idea what was wrong with her

Forgot to mention, this morning she was fine, 9 hours later she was like this. And she isn't gaping at all. She doesn't seem to be drinking much but was interested in eating the boiled egg.

One of my hens is making a cooing sound everytime she breathes in and out. Pretty lethargic, has been sneezing and coughing here and there, but not as much as I'd expect for a respiratory infection. Her crop feels pretty full and i can't tell if she's holding any extra fluid. She seems to be...

So far i haven't had any issues with the older hens flying in there, but I'm gonna be adding in a small movable piece to cover the gap so i can still give them water and food

This is the solution i came up with yesterday to introduce some new chicks to my flock. Works pretty well and none of the birds have tried flying into the pen. Meat birds will be staying in there until they're ready to eat, but how long should I keep the new layers, about a week? I'll will be...

Has anyone used a model 4250 incubator to hatch goose eggs? Couldn't really find anything here or elsewhere on the net on if they will fit in the egg slots. The incubator in question:

If you're still looking for brooder ideas here are some. I'm gonna be building one to hold 100 chicks this coming may, I'm just waiting on the snow to thaw before I start building. Here's my rough idea for one: Here's a really similar one I'll probably do instead because the roof is better...

Good resources, thanks. I'll be reading through all of this.

Thanks so much for this, I'll see if I can get in contact with them. Marquette is 2 and a half hours away from me.

Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to any and all folks in Michigan that have gone through the process of MDARD licensure in order to legally process and sell poultry and rabbit from my farm. Currently I am keeping things small, only providing to family, but would like to branch out in the future...

A very handsome unsexed ameraucana, just got 3 yesterday and I love how spunky they are! Black and white photo because they're under a red lamp and it burns my eyes lol.
