    Hen with shut eye

    Hi, I seem to have a sick brahma hen with a shut eye that I don’t know how to help. She squints through it sometimes but it seems to be cloudy. I rinsed it with water but it didn’t seem to help. She’s acting a little tired/lethargic but eats/drinks ok. What does this seem to be, and how should...

    Splotchy Egg

    I found this strange looking egg today and was curious about it. Is the bloom incomplete or is it a pigmentation issue? Or something else?

    Poop Fecal Egg ID

    Hello! I run my own fecals on my goats in a pinch, but it was my first time trying fecals on chickens. I noticed some weird-looking poops that looked a little bloody so I figured I’d run a sample through my microscope to see if it was coccidiosis. I came across 8 or 9 of these weird looking...

    Chicks With Ruffled Feathers

    Chicks With Ruffled Feathers

    Hello, I noticed today that most of my chicks have some ruffled and unthrifty looking feathers. They are all about 2.5 weeks old. I have heard it may be coccidiosis? But they are eating normally, they’re active, poops look fine, etc. I have noticed they sometimes waddle around when trying to...

    Chick sexing

    I think my verdict is all cockerels. Just wanted a second opinion. Is it still too early? I know most people say at least six weeks but they’re all showing male.

    Chick sexing

    Hello! Just wondering if anyone has any guesses on gender on any of these chicks. They’re only 3 weeks so I know it’s still early, but I figured I’d ask anyways. They’re lakenvelder/cinnamon queens. Overall I’m thinking they’re all cockerels because of the red on the combs & the large single...

    Egg Candling

    Well, we ended up with three very cute little fluffers! Thank you all for the support on the journey. It will be exciting to see how they grow up.

    Egg Candling

    Right, I just figured I’d wait, at least for now since it hasn’t dried off yet and I haven’t seen external pipping, rocking, peeping, etc from any of the others

    Egg Candling

    Well, the chick isn’t dry yet. I was also told it’s best not to open the brooder if you can help it, also the chick will help encourage the other eggs to hatch.

    Egg Candling

    Hatch day today and we had one successful hatch! Will leave it in there for the next day or so. Two more eggs left to go and no movement so far, so a bit nervous now

    Egg Candling

    Two more days until lockdown! I have removed the unfertile eggs from the bator. Of the three eggs left, two seem to have good veining/development. The last, I’m not sure. I can see some veins but much of the egg is dark/maybe cloudy, it’s rather difficult to see much movement Would I be risking...

    Egg Candling

    Took a peek at the eggs tonight. 4, maybe 5? Seem to have development- out of 18! The others have no apparent veining or growth whatsoever. A little shocked but, will probably wait until lockdown to toss any. There was one I thought looked a bit weird, it seemed dark like it had something in it...
