    Eggs moving, but are they dying?

    Just an update, The chicks heads did straighten up as did the legs. One has curled toes which I have taped straight.The other chick could not stand nor raise his head up. I used an egg carton to help him sit up. I put him in one cup where the eggs go and put tissues in the surrounding ones so he...

    Eggs moving, but are they dying?

    Well, I just successully assissted 2 chicks in hatching following the thread on "Assissted Hatch". The chicks are alive and exhausted, the only thing that worries me is their heads are still curled around as in the egg and their toes are still alittle curled. They literally just came out of the...

    Yellow cheesy ear discharge.

    The NFZ puffer is bought in feed stores, Tractor Supply... It's actually for ear and eye infections in dogs and cats. It's in a bottle with a little hole in the top and when you squeeze it, it puffs powder in the ear. Other than this you would never know there was anything wrong with Nellie...

    Yellow cheesy ear discharge.

    I noticed my bantam frizzle's ears looked like they were scabbed shut. When I picked it off this bright yellow stuff with a fine cottage cheese texture came out. I cleaned them best I could and have been using an NFZ puffer on them. If I miss one day they get crusted shut and very bulgey. Any...

    why won't they perch?

    Thanks for the replies.The only reason I worry they won't perch is because the last trio of Brahmas I got from the same place have been sleeping on the floor for 2 years now and I thought I could catch this early before they got in the same habit. The 2 hens from that trio lay there eggs on the...

    why won't they perch?

    I got 10 new standard Brahmas, they are 4 mos old. Where I got them they were in wire cages with a wooden box attached. I have a large coop with a large ladder perch that goes up the wall. These birds will not perch but sleep under the ladder which is not too pretty. I put them on the lowest...

    Faverolles Thread

    Quote: Where in the NE corner? I'm in NJ. I just received my new incubator today and was thinking of trying out this hatching thing, since Leisha approved my two birds as worthy. They are very nice, but I could not promise SQ. I also was planning to have a few available for our spring show...
