    Are eggs ok to eat

    My broody hen has been sitting on eggs at least 6 days (I noticed her Sunday on them after being gone 2 days). I candled them today and all were clear. Do I toss them or can they be eaten?

    Is this a fairy egg?

    I found this tiny egg next to several regular ones in the coop. Is this what a fairy egg looks like? When cracked, there wasn't any yolk. First time in 4 years of keeping chickens this has happened.

    Two week old Chick with two sores

    Thank you for responding. The baby is already separated from my main coop with four other chicks and mom. I guess it's possible the virus will spread to those birds? Do I need to do anything or just let it run it's course?

    Two week old Chick with two sores

    I noticed the sore on the side of the head a few days ago. It was a lot smaller and looked like it was an area that had been pecked. Today I noticed the sore above the eye. Does anyone know what these are or how to treat them?

    Sudden lethargic chicken with tiny long white bugs

    My hen died this morning. I've checked other chickens and they don't have the bug problem. Her crop was ok, and she wasn't egg bound. She was anemic (pale comb).

    Sudden lethargic chicken with tiny long white bugs

    This hen has been fine up until this morning. I found her sitting down, tail drooped, and eyes closed. Upon closer inspection she has these bugs all over her. Her comb is not bright red and she doesn't want to eat or drink. She has been doused with DE. Is there anything else I can be doing for...

    "Deformed" Duckling?

    These two are six weeks old today. The one on the left has always been smaller than it's five siblings. It's wings are very small compared to the others. Everything else about it is normal - swimming in the pond, eating, etc. Is it deformed? We do have a wild Mallard drake who decided to make...

    Ducklings eating layer pellets

    My mama duck is a free ranger. I had her and babies up in a dog pen for two weeks after hatching, and they all ate starter/growth food. I let them out since she is not use to being penned. She has taken them to the pond for swimming and they are foraging like she does. They seem to be doing well...

    Mamma Duck aggressive to last born duckling

    I went back out before dark and she was aggressive toward it again. I did take it and another duckling to brood in our garage.

    Mamma Duck aggressive to last born duckling

    I had six babies hatch on day 28 and 29. The mom left the last egg to be with her babies. After candling the egg, it was still viable so I put it in an incubator. Finally on day 31, I heard internal pipping. On day 32 the egg was still viable but no star was visible on the egg. I became worried...
