We have the same issue here. None of the vets, and there are a lot of them, treat chickens. Have you posted to this thread? you will probably get some very good advice. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures.10/

I do ship eggs all over the country. I do have a sign up sheet that is online but I have to update it first. I like to do test hatches first to check the fertility rate before I start shipping eggs. I ship and have had others ship eggs to me so I know the risks. I do try to pack the eggs for...

I breed for show quality. I do have some in the freezer but I sell mostly. I do maintain around 150 to 500 birds. Currently I have around 300 birds to choose from for my breeders. I maintain 5 breeds, SC RIR, RC RIR, RC RIW, SC White Leghorns and RC Dark Brown Leghorns. For colder climates many...

They do all have different personalities. I have one she follows me everywhere and would come into the house if I let her too. She was being picked on and I took her out of her coop and gave her some special TLC and she has responded well. She was quite thin but has now put on weight. I let the...

This is also the time of year when the birds start molting and when they molt they lay fewer eggs and some stop laying. Quite a few of my birds have started to molt.

Yes, First I incubate and hatch the eggs. I hatch in my styrofoam incubators. When the chicks hatch they go into a brooder box for a few hours until they dry then they go into a brooder cabinet and after 2/3 weeks in the cabinet they go out to a grow-out coop and pen. This is just the way that I...

I raise Heritage Rhode Island Reds and they are great birds. I haven't had a mean one yet and I have raised them for many years. I also raise Rhode Island Whites. Some are in my avatar.
