    Comment by 'Saveria' in article 'Egg failure to hatch - Diagnosing incubation problems'

    It shouldn't affect it then. It is when the eggs are developing that foreign bacteria can hurt them the most, but when they have already developed it affects them less. It's also about how long the bacteria has to flourish in the warm, wet environment, and it is only a couple days between the...

    Lame leg after raccoon attack

    Thanks for the ideas. My husband was just holding her a minute ago, but I will look for the things you said in a couple of hours. I think you may be right about the hip joint. Thanks again.

    Lame leg after raccoon attack

    So, I have a 9-week-old Sapphire gem pullet that was attacked by a raccoon on July 8th. She had a couple of puncture wounds on her left chest and an abrasion on her left leg, which I treated with the wound protocol I found on here. She is on amoxicillin. The wounds have healed amazingly well...

    I know someone who needs to rehome a handsome EE rooster. He is alone right now, so she is hoping to see him with a flock of some kind. Let me know if you are interested. She is in the NEK, but she may be willing to meet further away. Maybe I can even help to get him to Morrisville, or meet...

    Yes, they were able to find some. Their rooster should be old enough soon, so hopefully they'll join the ranks as well. Chive, was this your first Vermont fall? Even though it was long ago I remember my first very vividly, but this one wasn't the best show since it was kind of drawn out. Up...

    It stands for Front Porch Forum. It is a platform for a neighborhood forum, so you can submit a post and it gets sent out in an email list to other folks in your area that signed up. You get an email, too. Some guy in Burlington started it. I don't agree with all their policies, but it does help...

    Wow, I hope it is only ten. Did you all hatch a lot of eggs? I know some folks that could take them for food, but I can't think of anyone wanting one for a flock, but craigslist usually works for homes. You can also do FPF if you are on there. Maybe we should start a campaign to convince people...

    Thanks for responding. I can probably get some to them, I'm not super far, but then I have to have one of my customers wait. I feel bad doing that, but that customer already told me it would be fine. I had another friend that was looking for a bunch of hatching eggs last spring, but there were...

    6 week Wyandotte

    I was fooled, he looked female back then. Shows you there will always be curve balls.

    Anyone close-ish to the Morrisville/Stowe area have fertile eggs that they would be willing to sell? A farm in that area is looking for a half dozen or so to put under a broody hen. Pretty sure I would need to connect you by email, as well.

    10 week old EE. Pullet or Cockrell? Confusing tail arch

    The one that I am pretty sure was a roo hid under the coop one night with the one I knew was a pullet without my husband noticing. A fox found them. 😕 The last one I am still wondering about, but I was just going to wait till twelve weeks (2 weeks from now) to see any saddle feathers appear...

    newbie questions... again.

    Did the one that cracked spill any of it's contents on the other eggs? That can cause issues. Hopefully they'll be fine.

    Choose a quail egg to root for!

    I want Olivia. TY!

    Will allowing my broody hen to hatch out eggs discourage her from being broody in the future?

    I had a buff orpington go broody 4 times in a Summer, even though time #3 she got chicks. She was a nut.
