    Transporting water glasses eggs

    Thanks! I will take one jar down and see how it goes. I was hoping they would be floating enough to not crash into each other.

    Transporting water glassed eggs

    I didn't think about them drying out. It's a 4.5 hour drive.

    Transporting water glasses eggs

    I'm concerned they will hit each other and crack.

    Transporting water glassed eggs

    I am moving and have 3 half gallon and one full gallon of water glassed eggs. The road between my current home and the new one is not the best. How do I safely transport them without having them break? Do I need to put them all in cartons until I arrive?

    When do chickens molt?

    I'm glad to see the pictures on here !! I had a chicken end up almost completely bald and thought there was an issue with her. She's in my house right now in a dog crate because our nights are getting pretty cold. Well, they were getting cold but now are warmer. In any case, I'm wondering...

    Chicken with totally bare back....what should I do?

    Obviously the wrong kind. It's all that tractor supply carries. Where else can I go to find something safe for her?

    Buff Orpington hen not able.to walk.

    I put vitamins and electrolytes in her water and fed her oatmeal. She is now in a dog crate in the coop and laying an egg a day. She seems to be totally recovered. Now to figure out how to reintrodu e her to the group.

    Chicken with totally bare back....what should I do?

    Okay....I don't think it was the rooster pecking at her. She is losing all of her feathers. I built a quarantine area for her but what should I do for her? I have some dust stuff but it sounds scary because they say to wear long sleeves and pants and chemical proof gloves.

    Chicken with totally bare back....what should I do?

    I'll try to get a picture tomorrow in the daylight. I guess I'll put her in quarantine tonight and see what happens tomorrow when I get home from work. Poor kid.

    Chicken with totally bare back....what should I do?

    I'm actually wondering if "she" is really a "he". The posture reminds me of the boys but it's still kind of young. Is there a "good" way to tell? I guess I could put the two known roosters in the crate and let the current resident out with the other girls.

    Chicken with totally bare back....what should I do?

    I have 2 roosters that are brothers. I think I need to find them a home. She wasn't bare at all yesterday. Will she be okay during the winter with no feathers??

    Chicken with totally bare back....what should I do?

    I just went out to feed my chickens this evening and noticed that one of them was in the nesting box. Her back (at least I think it's a hen) looked funny so I took her out and saw that almost all of the feathers on her back are gone. When I went to put her back in the box, one of the hens on...

    Buff Orpington hen not able.to walk.

    I have her inside in a tub right now. She is actually looking a bit better this morning and "talking" some. I have the water within reach and this morning gave her some oatmeal after I cleaned up her poop. It was white with a bit of dark green mixed in. I think I may need to give her a bath...

    Buff Orpington hen not able.to walk.

    Have a buff Orpington hen who can't stand up. Last night when I got home she was lethargic and when I picked her up her head just dangled. This morning I found an egg in the box with her. Tonight I brought her in the house and gave her some oatmeal and made sure she drank. Any ideas on what...
