    Broody Hen Thread!

    This is 6 year old Ginger who decided to go broody for the first time. She hatched out 4 babies unfortunately the first hatched was very weak, couldn't stand and didn't make it. I am a little concerned about the last baby who doesn't seem as vigerous as the others but am keeping my fingers...

    What color eggs would you get..

    Thank you so much for that answer Ridgerunner. I have been running myself in circles with genetics info, that really helps a lot.

    Dosage for corid 9.6% oral solution

    This may be a dumb question, but there is no problem with administering Corid in metal is there? I have one puffed up lethargic 3 month old chick I want to treat everyone but wanted to make sure the metal waterer wouldn't react with the meds. Thanks!

    The eggs were a big hit this morning. They haven't had eggs in a while. Poor baby now has a bloody comb after a battle with a silkie. Silkie doesn't know what he is starting... In a few months he may not want to be on this guys bad side!

    Oh he is eating plenty trust me! Those little buggers are going to put me in the poorhouse! It is amazing how much feed they are going through. I swear he looks like he is wearing boots. He has a good personality though and he is one solid boy. He is way heavier than the ameraucanas and the poor...

    Yeah, I seem to be having a roo-tastic year this year! Out of 16 chicks of different breeds I am afraid 2/3 of them are going to turn out to be Roos.

    Just about! My poor chickens have one corner of their run that has water up past their knees (well where their knees would be if they had knees!) of course that is where they stand to wait for treats, lined up in the water. Silly chickens, the whole rest if the run and coop is dry but they stand...
