    Shetland Rooster Question

    I'm raising my first two little Shetlands and they are the sweetest things! The pullet is so calm I can pick her up or pet her with no complaining. "Sharon" follows me around like a little puppy. Love her to bits. The Roo, Roger, is just as sweet and stoic. But here is where I'm stumped. He has...

    Genetics/ Gender Question: Olive Eggers

    I finally was able to incubate a small bunch of Olive Eggers a month ago. And I have had the worst luck. I have one second generation and two first generation that are giving me a huge headache concerning gender. The second gen chick is Cream Legbar/ BCM cross hen with a BCM roo. The first gens...

    One lone egg. . .and a housing dilemma

    Yesterday my broody Wellsummer successfully hatched her first clutch of 11 out of 12 Icelandic eggs. (I have no rooster and bought her some eggs) Because of the way my coop is elevated, I thought better to bring her into a dog kennel in my dry basement for the last 5 days of sitting. She barely...

    BRIGHT green watery poop and still laying eggs?

    My Bielefelder has been inside for a week now. She sounded like an accordion when I picked her up 7 days ago and brought her inside. The others were also picking on her. I treated her with VetRx twice a day and fed egg and cooked oatmeal which is the only thing she will eat. She wont eat her...

    Bumblefoot with no scab...help

    Well, today I took the plunge. Since there was nothing but a lump between the toes, no scab, nor break in the skin I soaked her foot, sterilized it and cut the top of the lump. At first, I didnt think there was anything but after a deeper cut and pressure 3 or 4 pieces of hard infection came...

    Bumblefoot with no scab...help

    Hello, I'm back....She's still in the basement and I tried the Tricide Neo. Her foot is completely healed EXCEPT. She has a big old round ball between two of her toes. HARD, and no scab, no redness, no lameness, just a big bulging bumble. Like a marble. There is no swelling now so I can see the...

    Bumblefoot with no scab...help

    Here are two photos of her foot today. I have been soaking it and wrapping with neosporin. Some of the swelling has gone down but not by much. You can see the hole in her foot. I just don't want to keep damaging her foot. That hole has been there since August when the kernel came out and the...

    Bumblefoot with no scab...help

    My 55 Flowery Hen has had bumblefoot in her left foot off and on since May. Back in late August, I found a tiny scab on her foot about 1/16 of an inch, softened it and removed it and popped out small kernel the size of a sunflower seed. That left a tiny hole. There was no more stuff coming out...

    DELETE

    This morning at the local garden and feed store a young Guinea hen met me at the car. Actually, she was pecking my door. She's super friendly and chatty. The clerk there tells me she is an escapee from a poultry swap who has taken up residence in the last few weeks. There were three, but the...

    Suggestions for Flock Integration? What now?

    This is my second flock integration and I'm doing it much differently. Last time, it was four added to six and I kept them separate till they were nearly 18 weeks. Used a tractor by day for two weeks and then a crate in the coop at night for 4 days. I just didn't have the energy this time...
