    My wife and I just had that "We need to talk"conversation...

    I have bought from them 2 previous times; but this time, they where all sick. And pretty sure they all came sick. Why? Because I had them with my own hatched ones; and only they died. It was very odd. I was fuming. 1 by one. 125$ down the tube + the price of feed. And I have been raising eggs...

    My wife and I just had that "We need to talk"conversation...

    Where are you ordering from? I Last batch I bought from Munray hatchery; the chicks all died within 3 months; 25 of them; all slowly; just randomly dead, one after the other. Just randomly stop eating and slowly lethargic and then dead in the morning. 1 by 1!!! It was infuriating.. they where...

    I stopped by chicken from getting pecked to death!! Wish I would have tried this sooner!

    This happened to me too; in just like 6 hours. Smaller change. Didn’t know what had happened. Had to take the other out since I was afraid.

    Is Dry Incubation for Me?

    I have done dry incubation with auto egg turner with an eBay 12 egg incubator I got for 30$ - no water until lockdown and I have had very high hatch rate. I love it. I set it and forget it.

    I joined the December hatch. They hatch December 3rd :) I have 12 eggs; let’s see how many hatch. Last hatch 4 days ago yielded 70 percent hatch rate.

    Extruded chicken anus!

    Very difficult to do during summer. I’ll keep an eye on her and see if she is doing better; if not; I’ll have to seclude her as you stated.

    Extruded chicken anus!

    Dirty butts are a sign of yeast infection. That happened often when feeding Dumor layer feed. Now I feed my flock “Knock out” a variety of seeds and pellets along with calcium from oyster shells now. I buy it at wild horse track feed supply. Never had dirty butts again; 2 years now.

    Extruded chicken anus!

    For all I know; she was. The lays the biggest eggs on the flock I believe.

    Extruded chicken anus!

    Don’t really know what to call it; but we all get the point. My question is; will it fix itself or will she die? At first I though it was sick; smearing the exit as when they get yeast infection. But I was wrong. I Don’t know how it could have happened either; all my chicks are very healthy.

    How do I make my chicken like me?

    Starve them a bit and come to feed them twice a day. In the morning and at night. Squad down with them as they are eating you start by just watching; then touching them as the days go by. Works 100%

    Heart breaking day on the farm...

    Same thing happened to me a while back. 3 years of torture and about 35+ slain birds.. Bought 8 feet fence and all.. after the 4th time the dog jumper over; I went and spoke one last time to the owner. “No; I will not find my dog a new home” I said “ok” At that moment I knew that was the last...

    Seems it was from here- the liver area.

    Must be monk or weasel.. I never knew what these holes were until now... what do you think?

    What killed it?

    This worm is alive.. could it be that which killed it? The hen was brooding fine; and was eating fine; no bite marks or any sort of physical damage. In any area. Maybe this worm got to it’s brain?
