    What can I feed my girls to produce vibrant egg shells?

    I’m new to the hatchery business. But last week I moved all the pens to a different location. I was looking for information on this subject because I had also been experimenting with organic feed and making my own feed. After moving the pens from a well shaded area to a vast pasture with sand. I...

    Lavender Marans roo with Splash and/or Blue Marans hens - what color(s) would I get?

    Ok, I understand that self blue is recessive. However, I got lost after that. Please see if I am understanding this correctly. Since lavender is recessive, I breed a lavender roo over a blue hen, both Marans…. Then I will get all blue chicks. But if one of the blue offspring is bred to a...

    Experienced advice needed

    The chicks were soiled, one sneezed all the way home. At this point all but three have died. My old hen has white spots on the edge of her beak and the remaining 3 that I thought were going to make it are now sick to the point of dying. It’s been exactly 3 weeks since I brought them home. One is...

    Duck Mess

    We have a kiddie pool in our duck run. It has created a nasty mess. We have to dump the kiddie pool out and refill it at least once a week which has created a standing pool of nasty water in the run. I guess the ground got water logged. If I add sand for the floor of the run won't it get washed...

    Turkeys died, now sick chicken please advise!

    There are no vet schools around here and my personal vet is not a chicken dr. I don't know of any here that do chickens. The feed store is my best bet and I have already tried the antibiotics they recommended on the turkeys. It didn't do a thing.

    Help with sick turkey baby.

    I don't know if it's black head. Their appetite stayed good right through the very end. No diarrhea until right at the very end. It's a long drawn out thing and antibiotics did not help. I'll do some more research on black head. Just not so sure that's what it is.

    Here's a bit more information.... I had kept the bourbon reds with my ameraucana chicks since I bough them all at the same time. I had put all 6 of them in the chicken tractor to play/ it's very hot here above 90. They had a great time! It was after that they became ill. I still kept all 6...

    The post I made for the emergency thread does not have a blue dot and all the others do. What does this mean? What ever this is is definitely contagious since these royal palms were only separated with the bourbon reds and never with my chickens and never in the chicken run.

    Please Help with turkey chicks

    Thank you all so much! Since the chicks are all good so far, I believe they are much easier to raise. Although in the past I've has a couple of things with them like a dog getting one. I guess all that just goes with it. But I'm very upset about the turkeys because I've been so successful with...
