My rhode island red rooster has some respitory problems. His breath has cracks in it almost like theres water in his lungs. He cant even crow- he tries and it get a second in than doesnt come out. No fluids coming out of nose. Eyes look normal. Anyone know what it is and how to treat?
i put this in chick hatching but than thought this would be a better place. over one day 2 chicks hatched and one died after breaking the shell. was wonderin if anyone knew what might have happened to the chick?
I just got back from a business trip that was a day and i had someone turning my eggs and watching them. During this time 2 hatched and one pipped the egg but died. Does anyone know what might have happened to this chick? thats its beak sticking out of the egg
So my first chick in a batch of 12 delayed eggs hatched this morning. Heard him peepin last night and than it wa out this morning:lol::D and its out of my homemade incubator. I'll attach photos soon
I made a incubator like the ones on this site with a lamp and a water heater thermostat. So far it has had a range of 10 degrees. Does anyone have ideas of how to fix this? Thanks
All the leaves in my yard and the little amount of money in my pocket have got me thinking. Has anyone ever used leaves as shavings/bedding? If so how do you?
I'm looking for some Rhode Island Red showbirds. Trying not to get hatchery birds or hatchery line birds. Looking for birds with good bloodline or good beards compared to the Standard of Perfection.
