    What do we think about this guy hatching 100's of supermarket eggs for likes on Youtube?

    I mean, I kind of get it because he's purely hatching an amount based on the likes he gets... and then giving them all away to a sanctuary. Hatching just for hatching's sake, then throwing the burden of all those animal's lives on someone else. For a video. Not the best. But immoral for someone...

    Hen has green stool with blood!

    Coccidia produces mainly bloody stool not green and I'd be worried about throwing a medication at them they might not even need right now. The white parts in chicken droppings are urates which are basically concentrated urine-- so a total lack of them in droppings would indicate dehydration...

    Hen has green stool with blood!

    So does the implant just suppress her hormones?

    Blu-kote incident

    She'll be fine. I've done the same thing before I learned the Q-tip trick! Just a tiny amount of course. She looks adorably goofy. Blue-Kote is super annoying to deal with, but I had a bully hen who'd peck anyone with an injury... so... :rolleyes:

    First Winter

    We've always used painter tarps around the run, then we put up a big canvas blanket (which is again for painting lol) at night around areas of ventilation (human door, coop door, and the vents at the top of the roof.) It works pretty well for our girls!

    Molt- rant

    Happy vet tech week to you from a fellow tech :highfive: I'm so jelly your clinic treats chickens! So sorry you're experiencing that though... it's incredibly frustrating when people think they know more than you. Especially because of friggin Dr. Google. :barnie

    Thoughts about diatomaceous earth

    I have had great results with DE, but only using food grade and only in very dry, well ventilated areas. If there's a bad infestation I use the pillowcase method (DE in the case, all of the chicken except head in the case, and poof poof poof-- do once a week for 2-3 weeks and clears right up!)...

    Hen has green stool with blood!

    I know it's not the point of the thread, but I am curious-- why did she have a ovariectomy? And why the implant? When I look it up, it is mostly coming up to be used for adrenocortical disease in ferrets.

    chicken bucket list

Stripper Silkies, German Deathlayers, Appenzeller Spitzhaubens, Fayoumis, Sultans, I just recently added Thuringians to the list because they look like a mutt chicken I saw...

    7 week old Silkie sex guessing

    honestly, for silkies I'd still say too soon to tell. They tend not to lay until around 7-8 months iirc

    What Breed is this Mystery Guy from YouTube? So Pretty!!

    No, he's just singing-- I figured would be easier to get an answer (or close to one) here than on a popular singing account. I was pretty sure he was a mutt but if anyone had any for sure ideas about it I wanted to hear lol

    What Breed is this Mystery Guy from YouTube? So Pretty!!

    Hey all, like the title describes I am curious what the hell this guy is. Just a mutt of some kind? The barring is fascinating... idk what I'd even call his coloring! Please, any pointers on breed or what his coloring genetics would be! Thanks!
