    have you ordered from here? Just wondering how long shipping took and if there were any issues.

    Storing a dead chicken for necropsy?

    Thanks! My husband seemed like it was fine in the fridge but the thought made me nervous. We will bag her a few times and seal it.

    Storing a dead chicken for necropsy?

    One of my 13 week old pullets just died. Rather suddenly, and I want to take her to the Georgia Poultry Lab for necropsy Monday morning when they open. How can I store her until then? I can't freeze her because it will dramatically limit the testing that can be done during the necropsy but I'm...

    help! chick pecked in eye

    I put it on a qtip and did both. She would close it when I got the qtip close so it didn't really get in her eye well, it took some work to hide it from her and gently roll it into her eye when she'd open it but in general, I just put it on the outside.

    How did my chicken die?! What happened???

    Yes, what Eggcessive said, if you have her and she isn't frozen, peace of mind with a necropsy is everything and it could help the rest of your flock. If she's frozen, they cannot test for viral illnesses but could maybe test for other things. I'm no expert but in my short time with chickens...

    help! chick pecked in eye

    This happened with one of my chicks awhile back, it was awful to see happen and the chick immediately started bleeding. I rinsed with saline and put neosporin (withOUT pain reliever) on her eye. She didn't like it would scratch her eyes making it worse. I just kept at it, using just a dab and...

    Cocci questions!

    If a flock has been treated with corid, can they still get cocci? Does it hurt in any way to treat them again? If they are on medicated feed, do I need to stop giving them medicated feed after a round of corid? Does this look like a bloody stool? (hard to see, the stool itself didn't look...

    Clueless first timer with a lot of coop/run questions! Rain barrel, sand, etc.

    How did you do the quote thing separated out? I tried playing with "insert quote" and "quote" but nothing really looks right. Sorry, probably a silly question... Anyway, thanks for the input! Your coop is really clean inside! Unfortunately, I had a couple of chickens die and then got a few...

    Just for S&G - Silkie roo or pullet?

    I don't know what the black one is! I was told silkie but the only thing that seems silkie like is the feathered feet BUT I literally know nothing... I bought them from a girl who ordered frizzles and silkies from Ideal.

    Just for S&G - Silkie roo or pullet?

    Uggggggh, I think our white silkie is a roo. He/She is about 10 weeks and it's getting what look like streamers? Not the nice round puff on the head.. It's also ALWAYS on high alert, and at the top of the pecking order. It chest bumps with the black one that I also think is a roo. It never...

    Antibiotic question - second round?

    Perfect! I gave her the tylan again yesterday evening and got the terramycin and I've been flushing her eyes with saline. Her demeanor was almost immediately better with the tylan. I just started the terramycin today as my local TSC was out yesterday but luckily my parents were visiting so I had...
