Hi all,
Looking for anywhere in CT that I can get some Buff Brahma hatching eggs or chicks and the same for Silver Lace Wyandotte. If anyone could help or point us in a direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Willing to travel to lower Mass. also.
Thanks,

p.s. Does anyone know if a...
Hi all!
Does anyone have a rooster we could er...borrow for a few days? We have a a leghorn that goes broody and my 8 yr. old was very excited about letting the chicken do the incubating this time. We have borrowed an incubator over the years and my source is off eloping :) Anyway, we treat...
Finally got a bag of DE today as I hate chemicals but did what Avian Vet prescribed and thought I would try what he suggested to hold me over until this bag of DE arrived. I followed his directions to the letter. His prescription, for which I had to wait 4 days and finally pay him for, was to...
After 2nd treatment with Ivermectin, they are all losing weight & have runny poops. I can't figure out for the life of me, why I have such ill chickens. We have sprayed down the coop numerous times. We throw permethrin in nestboxes and floor of coop afterward. We have sprinkled the...
Hi all,
Just wondering if I could get directions for this Chickenstock. I have date and time of Sunday June 22 from 10-4. Now just wondering where in Oxford to go. I ask this because I know another chicken guy nearby (but not backyard member) that wants to know when and where because he's...
This is my 2nd hatch. Well..it didn't go so well. Of 12, I have 1 that hatched and another that we "helped" out on day 22 (today)(from shipped bantam eggs). The one we helped, has an unclosed stomach and just lies with neck stretched out and eyes sealed shut to weak to pick itself up, with...
Thanks for the rehabbers site and for the yogurt tip. I have called and the turkey (they said) is doing well and has been joined with another turkey buddy. They also think it's a boy. I'm told that upon full feathering that they will both be released back into the wild.
p.s. Wilds of PA...
angelandspot- I know how you feel- I called everyone in the State Agricultural Department after only 4 of my 12 hatched with my first hatch. I wanted to know why? why? why? I learned I had to lower my expectations. There were some percentages they gave that helped me to feel better. Atleast...
Update on turkey...Wildlife rehabber assessed turkey and determined a broken wing. He/she is on unknown medication and will have wing taped/splinted. Thanks for prayers, well wishes and good sound advice from you all.
Cetawin...you're right! That was the same that they said. The owl was afraid of live mice. I feel more confident now and have called no less than 3 rehabbers and they are all closed. It eats meal worms! I would say prognosis was good BUT it started clicking during one of it's feeding or...
