    Help tylan 50

    I know the Syringe Access Law is controlled at the state level. With the new rules regarding chicken oral antibiotics, it would make little sense to have syringes unavailable in feed stores. However, it wouldn't surprise me if we were expected to find an avian vet o_O. I am a nurse living in...

    BANTAM COCHINS CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My Lavender Ameracauna, lives to be broody & it's so contagious! I finally started dipping her underside in water to cool her off and it helped. Of course, the great molt has begun and everyone is nasty then.

    I'm starting to think it would be worth it to pay the $5 each to get the DNA test to just know early.

    Cuckoo pattern is the little stripes, yes. However, since you said partridge & not cuckoo, I wonder what the parents were. I do have a couple of partridge that would appear to be cuckoo. However, the breeder doesn't have that pattern and I expect it to grow out. Also, I have a Cochin that had...

    They are adorable. Please make sure you are offering chick grit, since you are feeding other food than chick crumbles it's important. I am the same about the he/she labeling. With the exception of silkies I seem to be almost always right from very early on. With these, I can be observing...

    Silkie thread!

    Sylvester, I'm sorry about your loss. This "rubber egg" you are referring to looks like a lash egg to me. With that in mind (in addition to your story) it would seem it was definitely humane to put her to rest. I'm sorry.

    Breed Clarification

    Doubtful in my book... with a completely different feather pattern. I didn't even notice the leg color until y'all pointed it out. I did notice that she feathered in completely different than the other 3. I thought it was because she was one sex and they were another. But breeder won't explain...

    Stinks. Difficult to find Cochin eggs. 4/12 fertile and only 3 actually Cochin.

    These are LF Cochin. But the not Cochin is now rehomed.

    Breed Clarification

    I didn't think she was even Cochin to be honest. But regardless, the breeder wouldn't replace the eggs anyway.

    Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

    Interesting point that this has brought up. Since chickens have become a backyard animal & therefore a "pet" to many. With it, seems the line is difficult for some. I saw a FB page this week that stated if you mention culling, butchering, or similar terms you would be banned. I was stunned...
