    Sand bedding

    Would like to try switching to sand for bedding but it’s so expensive! -about 110 dollars for four 50lb bags. I would need two to three times that much. What is the cheapest way that anyone has found to get it?

    How to get Amoxicillin

    Is it possible to just buy Amoxicillin online anywhere without a vet or prescription? I tried one site but had to put in a vet or mail in a prescription.

    Water belly

    Has anyone ever drained water belly with something larger than an 18 gauge needle? I tried an 18g-the fluid is yellow but with sediment/floaters and is too thick and will not drain, only got a few drops. I’m wondering if I can sterilize a new pointed xacto blade and make a hole. I have lidocaine...

    Should I help chick hatch?

    She’s a white leghorn. I think she stopped sitting on day 25. She had hatched one 2 days before that was perfectly formed but dead when I found it-I wondered if she stepped on it. I took the remaining 4 eggs plus pipped one and placed in incubator when I knew she wouldn’t sit again but candled...

    Should I help chick hatch?

    Do you have any tips on getting hen to take the chick back? She wants nothing to do with it. It would be nice to not run a heat lamp for one chick but I definitely will. This hen sat for so long and I don’t know why she stopped.

    Should I help chick hatch?

    She just hatched and is huge and active! I did end up chipping very tiny pieces of the outer shell off with bits of dry membrane in a zipper pattern two different times because I was afraid of doing too much-she eventually popped the top off. That’s the first time I’ve ever had a chick make a...

    Should I help chick hatch?

    I had a broody hen who left her eggs. This one was pipped yesterday late afternoon-that’s when I saw it not sure when it actually pipped. Today it made a small hole. i’ve never seen them not zip around the egg. Should I help this one? It’s peeping. I have it in an old Genesis incubator. Temp...

    Wet chick after 7 hours

    I stayed up worrying about him and reading (again) all I could and in the end I left him in the incubator and went to bed at 3 am because even though he didn’t look so great he was acting fine. He finally fluffed up mid morning today. He’s now under the brooder and looks completely healthy and...
