    Endocox egg withdrawal time?

    Bathed a few chickens for a show. Marvelled on how clean their butt feathers were. A few days after saw some blood spots in the shavings. They all have what looks like bloody poo? Have 2 questions..could bathing somehow cause it? A conversation at the fair with the judge and we assumed...

    I am looking for someone knowlegable about show birds. I know I don't have top quality birds but, would like to keep what appear to be the best and work my way up. If someone can come out to my place, that is great, but willing to travel a bit for the help. I am in the Yakima area

    Another interesting read on "dry hatching" quail eggs

    it sounds like you are doing everything right. Has to be very frustrating. How are the eggs being stored prior to incubation?

    Another interesting read on "dry hatching" quail eggs

    JMF farms did a non-turn hatch of eggs. Had about a 70% hatch rate, but the chicks had issues. Next time I talk with Robbie I will ask him what happened to them

    lock down on auction/ebay eggs. Calico banty cochins. Out 15 only 5 that look remotely viable. 3 or 4 that started..the rest were sloshy and glowed. Ugh. Hoping for the 5 to come through

    Cackle Hatchery reviews

    I have heard the porcelain are a bit fragile and those were all the ones that died en route. IF they hadn't I think everything would have been ok for the others, so hoping that is the case with your shipment.

    Cackle Hatchery reviews

    Ordered 20 bantam chicks. What I really wanted were the porcelain D'Uccle but a few cochins were always nice too...so 10/5/5 for a total of 20. They shipped 3 day (I called expressing my displeasure at that) and chicks arrived at my post office early on the 3rd day (this morning) 10 DOA, I am...

    Construction Sand VS Brick Sand

    from my readings in the chicken forum there is a difference in the sand and that a fine sand is not wanted that it could cause impaction. Brick sand is for laying patio blocks, at least for the bag I have. I felt it was to fine from what I was reading elsewhere. Construction sand has a...

    Another interesting read on "dry hatching" quail eggs

    dry here is just not feasible. E Washington is high desert and it is tooo dry. I've seen my humidifier run out of water and the humidity was 11%...a bit to low!

    Good protein supplement?

    I would avoid most commercial cat foods. Most are really junk. If you want to stay organic, for sure you will avoid commercial cat food! Grow meal worms and if concerned about organic, feed them organically. Dried ones are available and the birds love them. But not organically grown for...
