    Carl is limping.

    When I first got the 4 new year old Isa browns- I got 4 eggs the first day, then 3 eggs, then 2 and then only one egg a day for about a week. Then it jumped back to 2 and periodically 3 a day after that. The hen that got ill, only layed one egg the first day I got her, I'm pretty sure. I...

    Can that effect egg laying- the one hen of the 3 Isa browns doesn't lay as often as the rest. She seems healthy but I have gotten a real funny looking egg once and only lays about 2-3 a week. I think she is also the hen that has sort of a messy/poopy butt. I hope I don't have big problems.

    Carl is limping.

    Carl is right about 20 weeks old now. Seems healthy and happy other than the limp. My hen was alittle over a year old, but was only in my flock for about a month. Carl is a Wyandotte/black giant mix that I hatched. And the hen was an Isa brown that I got (4 of them) from a different farmer. The...

    Carl is limping.

    Yeah I'm wondering if he maybe fell off his roost, or twisted his ankle doing the wing dance.... hes been limping for about a week now and not really improving. Seems to be in good spirits tho. It was a rough week last week. Had a hen die, Carl is limping and I hit a deer on my motorcycle, so...

    Sick hen!

    Well we tried a little apple cider vinegar in her water, which seem to help for a day or so, but then she started looking bad again so tried Gatorade and some crushed tums. But we couldn't pull her out and she died during the night. A real bummer.

    Carl is limping.

    So my rooster Carl developed a bad limp. He walks like he's got the goute. Seems healthy and happy otherwise. I don't see any physical evidence of an injury. Is there anything else that might cause this. I got a sick hen also...bad days in my chicken coop. Any input would be appreciated.

    Hello, another new chicken fan here.

    Incubating was really enjoyable. My incubator came packaged in a styrofoam box. At first I used the incubator standing alone and had some issues with temp fluctuating. But then changed to putting the incubator back in the styrofoam packaging and the fluctuation all but became none existent. And...

    Hello, another new chicken fan here.

    Hi, my name is Eric. I live in Pinconning Michigan. I just started messing with chickens this year...I shouldn't have waited so long! So in late winter I bought an incubator and incubated 4 different groups of eggs- with about a 50% hatch rate. Also hatched several Rouen ducks. I ended up...
