    Need some advice on broody hen with lice.

    I would use a nylon stocking. Put the Sevin dust in it and gently put it under the wings and back of the hen. I would also think that you could put it around the eggs. The advantage of the stocking is that it spreads it evenly just by barely dabbing the surface.

    help on incubation please

    I am so sorry to hear that all the chicks died. There are many reasons why they didn't hatch so I wouldn't want to speculate as to what happened. Maybe someone else here with more experience with pheasants can help. I've only hatched pheasants once and I guess I got lucky. I used the Little...

    I am so happy to hear that your pheasants are hatching! I just set 17 Red Goldens on May 1st. I hatched the daddy, Ceasar, on May 18, 2012 so i don't know if he is old enough yet but he sure is gorgeous.

    Let's have a gosling hatchalong!

    Meet Igor! This my first gosling hatch. I don't know what kind it is supposed to be. Someone gave the eggs to my husband. They don't know what they have. Is it an 'African' goose?

    Let's have a gosling hatchalong!

    I like the idea of the stuffed animal and mirror. I do work at home so the little guy won't really ever be alone. One of my dogs also loves to 'baby-sit' new chicks when I put them in the crate/brooder the first week. I would only move it outside when he outgrows the crate and yes, I do...

    Let's have a gosling hatchalong!

    Hello All! I am going to have my first gosling hatch this weekend. My husband brought home two goose eggs last month for me to incubate. I have hatched chickens, quail, peafowl, ducks and quail. As it turned out, one egg did not develop so I am going to have one lonely gosling for the...

    CRD or Eye injury ???

    Have you tried to clean her eye out? I had a young rooster with a similar issue a couple weeks ago. I treated him with Oxytetracyclin ('Oxytet') in the water and Neosporin directly in the eye, twice a day.. I gently got the nasty white pus out of the eye with tweezers after letting the...

    This is my 16 week old mystery chick I got from McMurray Hatchery last November

    He is quite handsome but I am not going to keep him. I am going to keep all the Red Stars I bought. I have 21 hens and 2 roosters, Bert & Ernie. That is why I'd like to know what breed this rooster is. I want to put the breed name in the ad I post.

    He didn't look anything like a New Hamphire red chick though. ????

    He can't be a New Hampshire Red. This chick was black with a little bit of white on chest and rump. He also had blackish legs and feet. The New Hampshire Red is a yellowish and rust when hatched. This is supposed to be one of McMurray's 'rare/exotic' varieties.
