    So I wrote Cavendish Chickens for my name. That's because we are doing this as a family. Hatching and raising chicks. We are new to raising chickens. We've incubated eggs before, but not with a real incubator. Tomorrow (4/29/2010) we will be using an LG incubator to hatch 6 eggs. I've...

    Help Wanted at Purely Poultry for 2012 Chick Season!

    Hi Tylar! My name is Khara Cavendish. I'm not 100% sure what poultry knowledge you are wanting us to share, but here's what I can tell you: You must have a hen and a rooster together to produce fertile eggs. Fertilization happens 24 hours before the egg is laid. The fertile eggs do not...

    Silkie genetics question

    I was just curious on how the lavender colored silkie came about? I heard something about someone breeding certain colors until they got the lavender color. I have a hard time reading and following the threads on this topic, so if someone could please fill me in on this, I'd really appreciate...

    He put antibiotic in the bandaging. I've called him. Waiting to hear back from him.

    Advice please!

    The frost bite was on his toes. I took him to the vet last Wednesday. The vet had to cut it out, it was nearly to the bone. In the tips of his toes. He lost a few toenails, but did good. He's all bandaged up, but the bandages should come off tomorrow. But I think he's a little hot to the...

    Advice please!

    Oh yeah.. his comb also seems to be perspiring. I cleaned it with a cool (room temp, but cool) baby wipe.

    Advice please!

    1) Our speckled sussex rooster had frost bite, and had to have it all cut out. I think he may have a fever because his comb, wattles, and ear lobes are all HOT to the touch. Is there anything I can do for that? 2) Our little Mille Fleur cockerel might be dying. He has been fine since the...

    Looking for advice please

    My husband just purchased two show line ameraucana chicks yesterday. One has a crooked toe. I was wondering if there is any way to straighten in without hurting the baby? It is 2 weeks old, eats and drinks fine, and runs with the other chicks we have. Here's a picture of the chick and its...
