My black copper maren hen has just started to lay. My only roo is also the same breed. How long should I wait until trying to incubate the eggs?

Hi Dorothy. I am in Tow, TX and by from a breeder up near Killeen. I have g gotten 2 day old chicks to pullets in different breeds. That might be too far away for you. If you would like his info let me know.

I have 13 hens. They are about 7 months old. I am thinking of getting a few baby chicks. At what age can they be introduced to the flock? By the way I also have one roo.

I can't imagine where. Tow is just a dot. If we didn't have a post office there wouldn't be a town. LOL

You can put it directly in the eye. I would try twice a day. I would also put it in the water to make sure the other chickens do not get it. I take an eyedropper full everyday myself. I have also used it to cure a respiratory infection in a cat. It's great stuff. I bought the equipment to...

I would also try colloidal silver. It is good for humans and animals. Put some drops in the water and it should cure any bacterial infections. Good luck.

NEW QUESTION. Fertile vs. Non-fertile eggs. I was given a chick that turned out to be a rooster. Can he stay with the hens and can we still eat the eggs? I don't want to kill him as we have grown fond of Mr. Leghorn. We would love to keep him but I don't want chicks. What do I do?

Tow, TX here. New to this whole thing.

I just wanted to give an update on the picked on chicken. She spent about three weeks in rehab and healed great. Then I used your suggestions on how to reintroduce her to the flock. One chicken showed aggression almost immediately. We caught her and put her in chicken jail for about three...

Thanks for the great information. She will get a bath today so I can check her wounds and go from there. I also found this lotion called pick-no-more by rooster booster. I have also treated her with vertricyn and colloidal silver. She appears to be healthy. Eating well, etc. So far, so...

I have one pullet that the others tried to peck to death, at least it looks like that to me. I have her isolated and she seems to be recovering well. She needs a bath to remove the dried blood. Any ideas how I do this? And when can I try reintroducing her to the rest of the flock?
