    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Hello, everyone! What a sweet thing- to check in on each other! Unfortunately, I do not have chickens anymore. I got very sick and lost my job because of it, and winter was coming and I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to keep up with my babies, so I panicked and rehomed them. I regret...

    Respiratory illness

    I just got home from a long day, and will be able to make phone calls tomorrow. Thank you SO much for the links! I sure hope I don't have to cull any of my little ones, they're all so perfect (except for the boogers, lol) and a silkie roo just started practicing his crow. And I hope I haven't...

    Respiratory illness

    :( is there any way that I can be sure this is what it is before I consider culling? Could it be anything else?

    Respiratory illness

    Hello, fellow chicken people! I have a group of chickens (from 3 months old to 5 months old) that are currently living inside my house. The only heat in the room is one heat lamp, which most of them don't seem to care about at all. The reasons they're inside are that I have been long battling a...

    Refrigerate or swap or borrow?

    I used them in baking (very good!). I got to thinking that I shouldn't be hatching any more eggs this late in the season (I already have a bunch of little ones), and will wait for Spring to bring safer weather.

    Can I hatch eggs that were bought at the farmer's market today?

    Well, now ya got me thinking. And the winter season is to be here soon. Mayhaps I ought wait til spring to get ducks. And, I could be selective about the breed. I want to hatch them myself, though, to have a better chance of imprinting. Or, I could get a seed pair that are only a day or so old...

    Can I hatch eggs that were bought at the farmer's market today?

    I only want the ducks for eggs to eat and fun to play with, I also have chickens for the same reason 💜

    Can I hatch eggs that were bought at the farmer's market today?

    To clarify, my daughter inlaw bought them with the intention to eat them, and gave me 3. They are very clean, so I assume they have been washed, and I believe that eggs sold at farmer's markets are required to be washed around my area (Tennessee). I do not know how long ago they were laid. So, I...

    Sick Silkie chick, please help!

    I think it's respiratory because she has boogers (I never knew chickens could have boogers, lol), my daughter thinks it's sour crop. She does smell sour, but she is also kinda dirty. She's on my shoulder, nestled in my hair right now. She is breathing fast and heavy, and occasionally lets out a...

    Black Jersey Giant pullet has a bad or sick eye?

    Hi! This girl is a little over a month old. She is part of a small, young, variety flock that are still in the brooder at this time. Her right eye is posed to look waaaaay backwards, and I haven't been successful in fixing it. I have tried VetRx in the water, in a daily misting, and in the...
