    Emergency/disease/parasite????

    I have a wonderful cream legbar named Doofenschmirtz, whom I raised from a chick. I wanna say she's about a year old, and like my others, she always comes running up with the whole flock for treats. The other day, I found her hiding behind a nesting box. We thought she was trying to lay in a...

    Egyptian Fayoumis- where are the eggs??

    Lol I came to this post hoping this would answer my questions. I guess it's good to have an idea of how often per week they may lay. I knew they didn't lay a lot per yr but wasn't sure how often they'd lay during a week. I hatched two Egyptian fayoumi eggs in June. Two hens. Their combs just...

    Illegal to Advertise Nest Run Eggs as "Fresh" or "Local"?

    Ugh I've run into this thread solely because of this and it's ridiculous...I also found out on top of applying as a nest run producer I have to get a food handlers license. (fair) And indeed not use any cartons with other brand markings. The inability to use fresh and local is ridiculous. Plus...

    Moving chickens from one style feeder to another?

    Well so far so good. Cold turkey'd the chick feeder and they're all doing fine with the big one now..nice not having to refill so often. And no..not rodent proof. To be honest I don't know a feeder that is but the squirrels seem less keen to try and climb into this one and I'm slowly working...

    Moving chickens from one style feeder to another?

    Golly I hope you're right. Guess I'll give it a shot in the next few days. They're a weird bunch but I do hope not goofy enough to starve. 🥲

    Moving chickens from one style feeder to another?

    How does one get chickens to change from one style feeder to another? 😭 I can't get them to stop using a chick style feeder. They went from one of those basic red ones as chicks to this blue one that has the legs. Now that they're all 8-12 weeks old and living out in the coop I'm trying to get...

    Porous Egg Experiment!! THEY ARE HATCHING 2/23

    This post gives me a ton of hope for the eggs I've got incubating atm!:) My dad shipped me 2 dozen eggs he got locally at my request. The post office fumbled though, and had them a little too long. Got them the other day and majority are really porous. :( Fingers crossed though. I've got a lotta...

    How would you reintroduce chicks of varying ages back to the flock when older ones go outside first?

    How would that be possible? I assume I'd have to have other hens to raise the young ones? If so not possible as I just started my flock. ;w; and we live in the desert. I can't say I'm comfortable with the idea

    How would you reintroduce chicks of varying ages back to the flock when older ones go outside first?

    I have chicks of many varying ages in the brooder right now. The oldest would be 3 weeks old and the rest ranging from 2 weeks old, 1 week and the youngest at the moment having hatched in June 5th. We have two Egyptian fayoumi eggs set to hatch the 18th. And an Ayam Cemani set to hatch the 24th...

    Help! Almost all of my eggs have detached air cells!!

    I came up with the same idea and I'm hoping it works for you and me. 🥹 The person I buy from packages their eggs amazing never had one arrive broken but USPS handles them so bad it seems that I lost 6 gold phoenix eggs and an ayam Cemani to this issue. :( trying more Ayam Cemani eggs with this...

    "pip" but no zip after 24 hours?

    Update: I ended up just chancing a full assist hatch and praying. Opening the egg chip by chip I saw no veins. At first I only opened her attempted crack and saw her little beak immediately pop through. But she still was unable to make progress hours later. So I kept going. Bit by bit. Lots of...

    "pip" but no zip after 24 hours?

    Update: I'm not sure what to do from here. It was recommended that in a sterile way I open the pip. So I did. Movement, and the first chirps ever from this chick. Then noticing the membrane was very very white I was told to carefully chip the shell away. So I did. Shell is mostly gone and...

    Omg a pigeons and doves thread? I'd love for you to meet my doves and have me share a bit of education on pigeons and doves! 💕

    I also want to add that it's generally not advised to keep pigeons and doves together. Pigeons can possibly hurt and fatally injure doves. While maybe sometimes they will get along it's not something I personally recommend doing.

    "pip" but no zip after 24 hours?

    Im also afraid of shrink wrapping it if I do this. One part of the X shaped crack looks so easy to just nip off as it sticks up a little. As it is I can't see inside the egg at all though.
