    Chick with bloodshot eyes.

    One of our chicks was huddled in the corner today so we pulled her out and checked her over, she wouldnt open her eyes and they looked swollen so I opened the lid gently with a clean finger and both are completely bloodshot, like filled with blood. She seems to have a nice crop, food and...

    Chickens in European Cities

    Its not so much a case of particular cities in Europe just the laws of different countries I think. I know for a fact in England, Wales and Scotland there isn't much zoning if at all on keeping Chickens. I know people who have chickens in the middle of London! There's no real rule as to where...

    Sleeping outside.

    I noticed my duck house has been much cleaner lately and couldn't understand why until we went to check on the new chicks late tonight. I found all 5 of my indian runners asleep outside on the grass! I'm guessing they have been sleeping out for a while now. I ushered them in the house and shut...

    silkie eggs in incubator for 23 days. How long can they take?

    Sounds like either a low temp or a hot temp spike late in the incubation. I agree give them a few more days.... you have to clean the bator at some point anyway so leaving them in wont do any harm

    Need help, baby chick can't stand

    I wouldn't panic if you look at my post in caring for chicks title " Head over heels chick" a couple of days ago. My silkie chick at 1 day old span round in circles via her wings as she was just too wobbly on her legs... I tried pipe cleanering her legs incase it was splayed leg and she screamed...

    Duckling hatched with a bubble a giant bubble on it's head *PICS*

    I wouldnt try to deflate it as it may be anything and it may lead to infection if you open it up. My only real suggestion is vets? Does it feel like liquid or air? Im really sorry i hope the ducky gets better soon!

    Head over heels chick *plus pic of the newest addition*

    I tried pipe-cleaners she fell flat on her back and cried for ages so I took it off and left her. She is now up and walking and running brilliantly but her legs are at a funny angle.... not splayed but almost turned in! We will take each day as it comes, but she's doing great other than that...

    Shipping Eggs Out Of The US

    I said it before and I will say it again, It isnt the exporting out of America you will have to worry about.... it's leaving the country they wont mind!! Its getting it into Germany! From the sounds of what you guys said America is just as worried about importing foodstuff as Europe. If you get...

    Shipping Eggs Out Of The US

    I'm pretty sure they wouldnt mind you exporting stuff as long as it's safe but importing it into Europe may be another story! I know in the UK you probably wouldn't be allowed to bring in eggs because they are an "Animal foodstuff" and they are very strict on things like that. Even if they are...
