One of our red hen's (red star, mixed linage) eggs are getting lighter each time she lays. This is unusual, because she's a young bird (only a year or so) and has until now laid dark eggs. The difference has been very noticeable. Also, she has been showing signs of weight loss. Thin breast...

The Polish are nearly certainly white-crested blacks.

Thank you!

Are the colors all mixed together, or from separate pens??

Excellent; I'll have to get permission from my family to begin bidding here, but that sounds good. Thank you!

Great! Thank you very much.

If I bought both these, and the Blue Marans, could shipping prices be combined in anyway? Just curious---thanks!

Woops, never-mind about the pictures. I found some on your page.

This are some very beautiful birds! I am pretty interested in getting them; do you have any pictures of the eggs, or more of the birds? I would greatly appreciate it if you could post them! Also, if you ship this Saturday, how old will the eggs be on average? I'd love to maximize hatching...

We've been treating our chickens with BMD soluble, which is pretty much penicillin, for enteritis. I was going to hatch a couple eggs from our flock, and am wondering if the medication will have any effect on either the fertility of the eggs, or cause any deformations in the chicks. Any input...

We last introduced new chickens into the flock a couple months ago, and got them from a friend who had no history of disease---but it's very likely. I'll be sure to look Mareks up. I have checked them for that, and have found no signs at all. Will check again.

Very different! *Sigh* Hopefully they'll get better soon.

Thank you for the suggestion, it's really appreciated. The problem is, they take the medicine, but are not responding to it. It's quite frustrating.

Okay thank you. I cannot think of any poison...so unless they have found something deep in the woods, it is unlikely. But I never considered that. Mostly just DE, which has worked for our family multipliable times in the past.

Hi everybody; okay, so my chickens are sick. I have no idea how they got to be so bad, because they live in perfect conditions. They free-range, get clean water and coops, are far from being overcrowded, and get a wide variety of feed, grasses, and bugs. Our chickens aren't laying, is the first...
