    Will broody pass on fowl pox to day olds?

    Thank you ♡♡♡ hatch day is tomorrow and we had a massive storm. She got spooked and got off her eggs all night. Devistated but maybe I will have no babies to worry about now. So heartbreaking.

    Will broody pass on fowl pox to day olds?

    Hi everyone. My broody is about to hatch her eggs in a week but she has started to develop fowl pox symptoms. Do I let them hatch under her and take away or is that too late will they already be exposed in that short time? I have no incubator to move the eggs into so it will mean losing them...

    Chicks seperation anxiety

    Thank you everyone :) the toddler pen is fully enclosed including a roof in case of predators. I will just need to run some smaller chicken wire around some parts to avoid escape. I tested it this morning and here is a pic of all my flock with the bubbas in the play pen part. The chicks did...

    Chicks seperation anxiety

    I have 2 new week old silkies who have been in a brooder box with two 5 week old bantam pekins. So cute together, instantly the pekins mothered them. So time for the pekins to have some toddler time in a bigger playpen. Even though it’s only for a few hours a day the silkies freak out without...

    Australorp pullet or rooster

    Hmmm as I feared. No roosters allowed in our council :/ I will do another post on de-crowing I love her/him now so would hate to have to find a new home. But don’t want to do anything cruel either.

    Stuck egg or? (duck)

    I had an egg bound hen did the leg out thing. We did everything like the warm bath and trying to feel ourselves. Finally took her to the vet and the egg was too far to feel but an X-ray showed it. Calcium supplements at the vet fixed it. I would suggest finding an avian vet if not ring one and...

    Australorp pullet or rooster

    well that old chestnut. Sold an australorp pullet I think Penny might be Peter. Aprox 6 weeks I know it’s a chunky breed but her drumsticks are bootylicious and that comb is growing. What’s your thoughts she is also very very confident with the other hens even fronts up the grown ones and chases...
