    I mixed breeds, this is the egg colors I got

    Thank you! Her mother is a grey Australorp hen. Here you can see the BCM x Australorp girl: I think she looks a lot like her mother. She has no copper colors, but she has a lot of feathers on her feet, like her father. She is not so big as her mother, more like the Marans in size, but I...

My first flock is from 2021, and is a flock of 25 chickens and one rooster (BCM). This spring I wanted to...

    Are these eggs fertilized?

    Thank you 😊 Yes, I have four cayugas that live together - two male and two female.. I have not seen a lot of mating lately, maybe it is too early? The weather outside the last week has been good, it’s getting warmer, the snow has almost dissappeared, and they are staying outside all day. Thought...

    Can antifungal medication used on chickens create more resistant fungi?

    More often in the news, you can hear about apparently healthy people dying from fungal infections because the fungus is resistant to all the medication. Resistance is created by excessive, unnecessary or incorrect dosing of medication. When you give your chichens medicines such as monistat or...

    Sick or egg bound? What is this Poop?!?!

    My chicken had Clostridium Perfringens! Sent the poop to the veterinary institute and they checked for bacteria. She started to get better after one week, gave her lots of yoghurt (good bacteria). After she recovered I received the results, and all of my chickens got Amoxicyllin(?) some kind of...

    Duck emergency! Need help fast!

    Thanks guys 😊 She is completely normal now. When we first tried to help her we thought she had an egg stuck, so we gave her olive oil in her cloaca. We soon discovered it was not that, but I think the olive oil made her feathers lose their waterproof abilities? Now every time she tried to wash...

    Duck emergency! Need help fast!

    Duck suddenly vomited up three slugs and had runny white poop. She laid down with her feet behind and tried to press a lot! She did press so much that her intestins almost came out, but they didn’t. I put her in a big tub of water and now she seems a bit better. But her feet are straight behind...
