    Day 15 air sac

    If air sacs are truly small.. you'd want to lower your humidity not raise it. What color are your eggs? Too small of air sacs may cause drowning or malposition as it could allow the chick to grow too large to turn into position for hatching. The incubator read out should never be trusted. Can...

    Tapeworms… again- help

    If you're talking about aquasol, it doesn't claim to treat tapeworms.. it claims effecacy against round worms and cecal worms.. and only adult life stages at that (possibly what you saw on day 2?).. https://www.merck-animal-health-usa.com/species/poultry/products/safe-guard-aquasol You can see...

    Trouble with egg bound chickens

    Last time I sent a bird in for necropsy to UC Davis.. the cost was $40 for 2 birds. I looked it up and it appears to be $35 for 2 birds from a backyard flock.. https://cahfs.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/tests-and-fees This second link is for pricing on other test they can run...

    Introducing Young Roosters to Older Roo who is alone.

    Sooner is better than later. Use the look but don't touch method for at least a few days or longer if needed. I've had great success doing this. Hope it goes well for you also! :fl

    Mixing breeds?

    You could always add Orpington of other colors.. Cackle has silver laced (also jubilee and lavender).. https://www.cacklehatchery.com/product/silver-laced-english-orpington-chicken/ Not sure about availability but Meyers has several color offerings including Jubilee, chocolate, blue, and...

    What are other options besides water belly?

    Easily.. it may take some time for symptoms like upright stance and waddling or infection to develop.. right now the only symptoms being the bright comb and going into the lay box without depositing eggs despite being a regular layer.. and that (EYP/internal laying) may not actually be what's...

    What are other options besides water belly?

    Sorry for your previous loss. That won't do anything for internal parasites, if suspected.. as stated on the package.. it does not work in wet conditions, such as the digestive system. Another consideration *might* be internal laying, sometimes called EYP or egg yolk peritonitis.

    my 4 year old had this and now there is another strain of tissue? out of her. Please help

    Looks like possible lash material.. sometimes called lash egg or salpingitis. Consider cutting it open and seeing what it looks like on the inside. https://the-chicken-chick.com/salpingitis-lash-eggs-in-backyard/ https://the-chicken-chick.com/causes-of-lash-eggs-salpingitis-by/

    My pullet is crowing at 16 weeks... What to expect?

    I think those are pointy saddle feathers.. so I might expect Vicky to be a cockerel after all.

    What do we think she’s gonna look like?

    I'll go with silver partridge as a possibility.. but not splash.

    Turken breeds?

    Turken is a breed and nacked neck would be a gene or type. The naked neck gene will pass on to other birds and is incomplete dominant.. which produces the bow tie according to my current understanding. By mixed color flock.. I mean all Turkens but of different colors varieties like black, buff...

    Rooster slams into back of legs- not spuring or pecking?

    That's how my first ever attacker started, a brush at the back of the leg and the cockerel acting like nothing happened.. And was also the sweetest boy, until he wasn't. He should not be dancing for you.. that's an indicator in my experience, of things to come. And *possibly* that he's...

    Turken breeds?

    Turken is the breed.. they are likely from a mixed color flock rather than individual colored flocks. Unfortunately, many hatcheries are using mixed colored flocks. I can't make out Splats' whole neck, but chickadee has what's known as a bow tie.

    Why are my hens dying?

    Sorry for your loss. :( Sounds and looks like you're possibly having predator attacks.. More information would be needed to try and determine which predator it might be.. like where are you finding them (inside the coop or out in the yard, etc), at what time in the day, where are you located...

    While it's not super common, it's also not unheard of.. possible coccidiosis?
