I believe the qualifying for Naked Necks (showgirls) is the national show in Knoxville, TN....Dec 7&8. I know they are trying to get as many NNs there as possible. The standard was listed in the last newsletter from the ASBC.

They are zipped right about mid way of the shell...toes look good. Could it be they just get weak after all the work of pipping. They pipped last night and this happened app noon today. Another was pipped and was DIS as well. This has been an on going problem and seems to be mostly the splash...

I could really use some advice/help. This has never happened to me and is confusing. I had some chicks to hatch Thursday. 2 zipped when I was leaving for a couple hours. Came home and that had not changed and I heard not chirping. Took them out and both where DIS. Today....Very same thing...

Actually I was catching the pics on the move. He was not too keen in staying still for me. He is new and was not handled much by the previous owner. This is a really bad pic. It was in the hottest part of the day where the lighting was overhead. Really bleached out the colors. Hope to get...

Will try to get better pics. As I said it was the middle of the day and really bleached out the pics..the rocks did not help. I just wanted to see what was thought about his confirmation. He really loves to pose for certain.

I now have a beautiful true black roo to complete my TB pen. Thanks to my wonderful friend. Bach seems to be a wonderful roo....he is 7 mo. old and is still figuring out just what his job is. But the girls seem to really like him.He is much darker than the pic shows. It was during the noon time...

I live in East TN and we have already met our yearly average on rainfall if that tells you anything about what our humidity has been like. Horrible! In my house it runs around 20-255. Not sure why it is so dry so I keep a sponge in my hovabator keeping it between 40-45. I have been locking down...

I seldom open the incubator unless it is a very extreme case. I can tell the chick was sticky by the look. It had happened before. I have dry hatched before and to be honest that was the best hatches I ever had. I just had another hatch and it does not look as sticky as the other one. What...

I currently have chicks starting to hatch. My temp is 99 and the humidity is 60-62 I had a chick hatch out that was sticky which makes me wonder if there is a problem with the humidity. I really need these eggs to hatch. I hope someone here can advise me. I can remember reading once someone...

Thank you Sonoran. It seems I am getting a lot of silver both solid and partridge. I never know what to expect what is going to come out of the egg. I like the greys and would like to concentrate on them but want to try and follow the right path.

So....breeding silver male to silver female will breed true or will there be some variables? I have started breeding silvers or greys (need to post pics to get opinions) and am still new at some of the genetic stuff. I do know my last silver partridge chick is from my silver male and a black...

Hello Tncowgirl.....you are just down the road from me! I am in East TN. Welcome

@Peepblessed. The chicks are a week old now and the chick has lost all it's stripes and only has a few on it''s head now. I am really interested to see how they are going to turn out. This was my last group before I moved all my true blacks in with my new true black roo. Finally I have a true...

Thank you so much everyone for all the advice. Don't know what I would do without all of you.I was reading an article on cocci the other night and did not know there are 3 types of cocci and 1 does not respond to corrid but does to sulmet. We have had nothing but rain and humid days 80% of the...

The more I look at Bebe the more I keep feeling sinus infection..is that possible? Would it help to do a nasal flush?..I keep looking for whitish or yellow discharge but for the most part it is clear with just a very small amount of color to it. I have spent the better part of the evening...

@Dragonlady....I have finally found the Nutrical for my little hen. She has gotten better but is still snotty and smelly.? The drainage is clear but I think the smell is coming from what she has rubber in her crest. She is eating but not as well as I would like for her to. Her eyes have cleared...

Thanks for the info on getting the Nutracil. Will be getting some tomorrow. Bebe is doing really good now. She is eating. Not liking the nose drops but she is settling more for the massaging. She still have rattling sound but much improved from when I found her. Her eyes are staying clear now...

Bebe (my avatar) seems to be doing a little better now. She had even improved this morning. Her eyes where open instead of stuck together. The 4 way spray was around $7 with tax. She DID NOT like having them put in so I think she got more than a drop in each side. Will do the massaging thing...

Thank you so much Dragonlady. I will see if I can get some from the vet tomorrow. Can I get the 4-way Nasal Spray at Walmart or do I need to go to a pharmacy? I had not heard of it either. I also put terramycin eye gel in her eyes. Now she is keeping them open some. This is as scary as taking...

I need some help.One of my favorite show hens is very sick. She has not felt good and it just hit out of nowhere! She has congestion in her head, nasal and possibly in her chest. I have her separated and started on Duramycin but I also have Sulmet in my first aid kit. Around here it is hard to...
