    We just accidentally ordered from The Chick Hatchery. Anyone have experience with them?

    Following. I too am interested in this hatchery. They show the same egg pic for all of their Marans. I contacted them by email and they claim all their marans lay equally dark eggs. Anyone have any experience with this company?

    Combining Worm Out Gel and eprinex and possibly others

    I had in my head that the Worm Out Gel didn't, but yes, that is a good point. I will probably eat them, but I am not selling them. Thanks for all the help. As well for all the many other posts on other topics.

    Combining Worm Out Gel and eprinex and possibly others

    No, but there are tapeworm segments in their droppings. I've had a couple die recently and I would hate for it to have been due to worms, so I figured it wouldn't hurt. I also know some of them have a few mites on them. I don't see any on the ones that get out and dust, but I figured if some...

    Combining Worm Out Gel and eprinex and possibly others

    Does anyone know if it is ok to treat chickens with Worm Out Gel at the same time I would put some Eprinex on them? I want to treat them for worms and mites all at the same time to save handling them. (I have around 75 chickens). Also, if you know what other medications are safe to treat at the...

    Leaving a dog around Chickens alone.

    Thank you all for the wealth of information and advice. We chose our breed of dog because of reputation for intelligence and human companionship. My only hope was that no matter what dog we got, it could live with the rest of the family. Growing up we had a Dalmatian on our farm. As far as I...

    Leaving a dog around Chickens alone.

    Thanks all for the response. I guess I should have given some info. My dog is a female German Shepherd and she is right at 12 months old. That is the other question I have, is she just too young and full of energy to be left alone? Is there a chance she will get better after her puppy stage...

    Leaving a dog around Chickens alone.

    I know this topic has been covered many times, but I have been reading on here for hours and my specific question has not been answered. How do you train a dog to at the least not kill your chickens if left alone. My dog is great with them and shows no interest what so ever IF I am around. I...

    Help with Broody Muscovy's babies hatching.

    Here are my two little babies I saved! I can't believe they were cold for probably 5 or more hours. They seem to be doing well. Both are starting to eat and drink on their own. Thanks to all the help and BYC articles! Without your help I would have helped them way before they where ready...

    tmorgan46, Thank you so much for the response. I have been researching (mostly this site) and I there is a great article with pictures on here all about helping a bird hatch. It is just really sad to see babies pip and then die. So to update anyone interested. I can't get at the nest...

    How To Train Your Dog Not To Kill Chickens

    I agree with this somewhat. When I am around my Shepherd just lays around and watches our chickens and ducks like they are part of the family. So yesterday, we left the chickens free range with the dog out while we went to work. I came home to 29 dead chickens. Our dog went into the coop...
