Today I adopted four hens that were rescued from a hording situation from the humane society. This person had hundreds of chickens living in their tiny big city home. Allot of the birds taken from the house were breeds like silkies, polish, game fowl, leghorns, RIR, easter eggers and much more...

Were could you test for these things? I have given all my customers my phone number so If I hear another word from someone then I will go for some tests to be sure everything is ok. I am just thinking if I did have a problem with salmonella I probably would have heard from more people, I sold...
I never would have thought about the richness of duck eggs causing a problem with some people. But I actually did switch the ducks feed from a regular laying feed to a flock raiser feed for ducks, with a bit higher protein. I don't sell to any stores or anything like that I just mainly sell to...
Yea I know some people have egg allergies could egg allergies pop up out of nowhere? because she has eaten my duck eggs 3 other times before and didn't have a problem until now. I am thinking about maybe creating labels for my cartons that say something like wash before use and don't under cook...
Thank you for the information about the avian flu. and yes this lady was not very nice I thought it was kind of rude for her just to call me up and automatically assume I gave her bird flu. I did explain to her that the strain of bird flu that was going around was just spreading through birds...
I had a problem today. One of my customers who bought duck eggs from me called me and said she has been vomiting for two days and claims my eggs gave her bird flu. she has bought duck eggs from me many times before and never had a problem. I told her I was extremely sorry and that I have never...
Its not from leg bands because I picked her and her sisters up from Meyer hatchery as day old chicks and I haven't put any leg bands on her. I don't believe frost bite ether because they were kept inside until it was warm enough and they were big enough to be moved into an outdoor grow out pen...

I got 8 chicks out of the bantam box at tsc they all look exactly the same white, silky feathering, blackish blue skin. but half of them have the walnut comb and the other have single combs. the chicks are two weeks old plus, so I can see there combs very well. if a single comb is not silky then...
I go this chick from and over hatch from a breeder.
It has blackish legs all the way down until his feet.
it has a single comb
so curious to find out what it is.
She's pooping, today she has more balance but is wobbly trying to walk further then a few steps she is not falling down as much. She just gets wobbly and holds her self with a wing. Hoping she will get better soon.
