We ordered 75 chicks from Meyers hatchery and had all of them vaccinated for merecks. They are now 8 weeks old, and one of our white rocks is incredibly wobbly and can barely get around. She is still eating normally, but closes her eyes a lot. No one else is acting like this. Even though she was...
In my area eggs are in high demand, so I sell mine for $5 a dozen. I have six large hens and four silkies who try their hardest, so my cartoons always have three or four smaller silkie eggs in them. I feed them organic food, and everyone loves organic eggs, so I normally can't keep eggs in...
Amount of eggs I get weekly from each hen:
Wyandottes: 7
Red sex-link: 6
Leghorn: 6
Buff orphington: 5
Silkies: 3
I never knew wyandottes layer so much, is it normal? My leghorn is very sweet, which isn't always the case unfortunately. I would say sex links are the way to go though, they are...
Originally eight, but I accidentally dropped one, so now theres seven! Two from the silkies, two from the wyandottes, one from the buff orphington, one from sex link, one from leghorn.
Just got my baby chicks from TSC, and all six of them seem to be healthy and happy. I am not sure on four of their breeds, since they were an assorted mix of pullets. I was hopping to put them under my broody silkie, but when I gave them to her she looked up at me as if asking me what the heck...
I once did this before, and against all odds our dog survived a terminal disease. Now I come to you again seeking prayers and good wishes. Our dearly beloved horse Monty is suffering from a mysterious illness, and I would be eternally grateful to anyone who slipped him into their prayers. The...
I did the clap/snap test, and when she didn't react I ended up getting one of the dog training clicker and clicked it right beside her head, and she didn't react. You can walk into the coop and the others will run up to me, and she will be in the back eating or pecking around until she sees me...
Update: I have not been on in a while due to mourning the loss of my show horse (R.I.P Moonlight), but wanted to thank you all so much for the support. Cisco has made a miraculous recovery, one that surprised even the vet. He beat all of the odds, and we are so thankful that he is back to his...
I have the same exact problem. I live in southern New Mexico and found hundreds of bees everywhere. The poor ducks and goose were afraid to eat because there were bees in their food, and several of my chickens got stung. My father is an entomologist, and he came in and found their hive, removed...
Our little husky boy Cisco is need of prayers right now. He was diagnosed with Evans Disease, and is fighting for his life. His immune system is attacking his red blood cells, causing major problems. He is in good sprits, but we are all sick with worry. We love him so incredibly much, and are in...
I think that I will be coming up to ABQ this weekend, but it is unfortunately for a funeral. Depending on wether or not I take my own car, I may be able to pick up the bantam pullet and chicks!
