    Easter Egger egg color has changed?

    I know this is an old thread, but I have an issue that relates... I have a hatchery Easter Egger that is about 4 years old now. She has always laid light mint green eggs. I hatched some olive eggers out of her and my welsummer that turned out fantastic! But that's another topic ;). So, she...

    ~~ WELSUMMER HATCHING EGGS 12+ ~~

    Do you ever sell young chicks? Preferably just the pullets? I have an incubator, but would really prefer to buy pullets. I just hate sending my roos off to an unknown fate, lol.

    ISO: Welsummer & Ameracauna chicks, nice egg layers

    I have a great Rooster, but only one Welsummer hen. I need some more girls! I'll pay good prices for sexed pullets, but will consider straight run. I'd like up to 8 Welsummer girls. I want chicks from hens than lay consistently dark or very spotted eggs. I'm not looking for show chickens. I...

    Review by '' on item 'Leghorn'

    I bought three Ideal 236 / California White Leghorns from Ideal Poultry August 2010. I found my first egg when they were 23 weeks old! They are a bit nervous, but easy to keep and handle once you get a hold of them. They are good flyers and can get out of my 6' fence, so wings MUST be clipped...

    Re-Introducing injured chicken?

    Thanks for the reply. I'll remember that for next time. She spent the morning in the isolation pen next to the main pen and was sitting against the common fence with three others when I got home a bit ago, so I went ahead and put out with the flock. She got picked on some, but they quit after...

    Injured Chicken, not walking! UPDATE: Standing better, but now fever?

    Thanks StCroix. She did great with her bath last night! She just stood quietly in the sink fully of soapy water and tolerated the scrubbing well. She's up and pecking around this morning.

    Injured Chicken, not walking! UPDATE: Standing better, but now fever?

    Thanks BigCreek. If she doesn't improve on the LA-200, I'll call my horse vet and see if he can get that for me. Tonight she's doing much better. She drank water and ate the dry chicken mix on her own. I bathed her and really scrubbed her wounds. Two of the puncture wounds have totally...

    Injured Chicken, not walking! UPDATE: Standing better, but now fever?

    Well, she's doing better last night. She won't eat the special food, but I could only find orange flavored cod liver oil, so I'm gong to make more today with fish oil pills I have for myself. It appeared she ate some of the mash on her own yesterday and I was able to get her to drink using a...

    You could make maggots using just fat, skin, bones, etc. Anything nasty attracts flies when the weather is warm!

    Injured Chicken, not walking! UPDATE: Standing better, but now fever?

    I went ahead and gave her 1/3rd CC of LA-200 antibiotic orally today. I'm going to make up the Ricket's diet for her and see if that helps. None of my other birds are sick that I can tell. Everyone is eating and drinking fine, behavior is normal. This girl wasn't sick before this. She...

    Injured Chicken, not walking! UPDATE: Standing better, but now fever?

    My girls got attacked by dogs last week. See the thread for background: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=614328 So, the surviving injured chicken is not doing well. She can't really walk. She can stand and will stagger a step or two, then falls over. Her feet will...
