    sexing silkies

    Does anyone know if there is a way to sex silkies at 7 weeks old? I got some, straight run, and am trying to figure out what they are. I can't post pictures at the moment, but once I can I will.

    Incubator for a beginner

    Hi all! This year we have decided we want to try our hand in incubating our own eggs. We don't have a HUGE budget for an incubator, so I am looking for something that is on the cheaper side but still good. Any ideas?

    Eggbound ISA

    My baby has just started laying, and I think she is egg bound. I can feel the egg between her legs, shes walking funny, just not acting right. I gave her the 30 minute sitz bath, then warmed her under the heat lamp. I put her in a brooder with towels and a heating pad under them. I just...

    Ok, I have the wound all cleaned up, I cleaned it with peroxide and povadine, then put an antibiotic ointment on it. I covered it with gauze and wrapped it. I'm going to keep her in a crate in the house tonight and see how she does. She's had a little egg, and I got her to drink a little...

    My mastiff got through our chicken fence and got one of my RIR's. As I got there, Red was still alive and still is. I have brought her in and have her with some egg and water. She won't eat or drink for the moment. She is just panting. I looked over her to see the damage, and there is a...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    3 eggs out of 4 that are laying...I'm not sure if 4 is laying yet, but shes been in the nest box, squatting, and I *think* she laid an egg last week. Tonight she has been acting strange, so I put her in the box. I'll check in a little bit!
