    About 6 years ago I moved to the country with lots of land around me. My first thought was "ohhh I could have chickens!" Well the hubby wasn't having anything to do with chickens...he did everything he could to talk me out of it. I let it go. Then we divorced, my boyfriend then moved in with...

    Two Dead Chickens within 3 weeks???

    no protocol here? I looked over all my hens (including the dead one) and they all look healthy, nice colour, none of them look sick. Even the dead one shows no signs of illness. ?

    Two Dead Chickens within 3 weeks???

    4 weeks ago I had a chicken go broody on me (under a year old red sex link) I put her in the penelty box for 48 hours with food and water and she joined the others and all was fine. She wasn't laying though. Then a week later I found her dead under the roost ??????? I checked her over, no...

    Is it the right thing??

    I have a similar situation...two mother hens (sat on each other's eggs) chicks hatched and they both looked after them for a bit...then the "mean" mother hen started fending for herself, and being mean...so I separated her, and left the 4 chicks with the "nice" mother hen. The nice mother took...

    Frustrated...What age can the chicks be on their own?

    Thanks! the nice mother is having a bit of a freak out, but she can see and hear her chicks through chicken wire...I just want the two bator chicks to integrate with the other chicks...I just went in and checked and all 4 chicks are cuddled together...I do have a brooder lamp they can go under...

    Frustrated...What age can the chicks be on their own?

    I have two silkie hens that went broody, they hatched chicks and I hatched chicks in the bator? So the chicks are all the same age (8 weeks now) I tried to integrate the bator chicks with the hen's chicks...with the two mothers. At first it seemed to be ok, and then I caught the mean mother...

    White eggs from a red-sex link???? (pic)

    ...likely one will ever know. But it is quite possible the brown coating is not being put on the egg. yes these birds are from a hatchery, 15 week ready to lay. *shrug* just a mystery I guess. Just don't think I can put them in with the brown eggs I sell...I guess I am eating those thanks!

    White eggs from a red-sex link???? (pic)

    Quote: lol maybe eh. They look pure white and doesn't have that smooth finish like the other eggs...like it is missing a coat of something...hard, but feel a bit rougher than the browns thanks...

    I thought red sex links were a cross between RIR and something else (can't remember) ? s

    White eggs from a red-sex link???? (pic)

    I got 11 red sex links in April. All laying brown beautiful eggs. I got 13 more red sex links in July and 9 to 10 of them are laying now, but I am getting this from one of the hens. Why are they white? ????

    Day 24 (2 eggs left) cracked open to:( what are it's chances?

    When I came home the chick was dead on further inspection, there was something wrapped over the chicks head causing it to be imbobile...it was like a cord of some sort over the top of the head and down under the beak. I wonder if this is why it couldn't pip (couldn't move it's head) so sad

    Introduction didn't go well

    ...added chicks were huddled in the corner I reached in to pick them up and noticed one had a small peck spot on it's wing...when I put them back down *near* the mothers the one mother attacked them. So they are back in the brooder and my daughter says she will take them out for their daily...

    Day 24 (2 eggs left) cracked open to:( what are it's chances?

    OK Thing is I am not seeing the beak...so wondering if it is at the wrong end...I don't want to touch it anymore, but I don't want it to die either... the wet paper towel is loose around it, but not covering the opening.

    Day 24 (2 eggs left) cracked open to:( what are it's chances?

    ...the humidity is 75 right now. Chick is still moving around. This afternoon I have to head out and nervous about leaving it for so long...probably back around 7 or 8 pm *sigh* So maybe gone a total of 5 hours. Will just make sure everything is good before I leave. Hindsight is 20/20...

    Day 24 (2 eggs left) cracked open to:( what are it's chances?

    no I cracked the air sac, but a bit of the egg shell broke open into where the chick was and the bleeding was there...it stopped, it is back in the bator on a wet paper towel...the chick is still moving. stress.
