    They were bought from a local store that purchased them from McMurray Hatcheries. Supposed to be mix of brown egg layers, ee's and ameracaunas. The problem is they weren't separated. :/ we tried our best to pick out what we hoped would be the ee's and ameracaunas. But I know there is no...

    Has anyone used the antibiotic linxmed-sp? I can't figure the doasage amount for my hen.

    I picked up a packet from my local agway, but the package is not configured for smaller doses (like 2 or 2 gallon water containers). The girl at the store was unsure. I'm also confused because the package also says not for laying hens yet it is sold for poultry, And would her eggs be safe for...

    Sticky chick advice needed....

    I am afraid to go to bed if there is something else that can be done. Any advice? If the eyes are stuck and feathers still a bit hard, will that all correct itself at this point? I added more water originally, since I thought the chick was better off being more moist than dry. But should I...

    Sticky chick advice needed....

    they'reHISchickens : My late hatches often stick too. Some people say it's because the incubator was opened. I am not certain that is the answer, but I don't have any other reason either except... it happens! I have ignored late pips and lost the chick and I've helped and saved the chick. I've...

    whats wrong with my hen? *video* unbalanced...NEW VIDEO~post#385

    She lays (her names is Pebbels) but not everyday. And like I said before, she is the queen of the flock, and a bossey one might I add. lol Funny to watch her peck at the others if they are out of line. Even with her disabilities she gets the job done. Setting an example for chickens...

    whats wrong with my hen? *video* unbalanced...NEW VIDEO~post#385

    Hi I am not sure if this is the same situation, as our chicken may have just injured her leg. But it all started about 1 year ago she kept falling over on one side, we heard and thought all the same advice you are getting. And I followed just about all of it. I soaked her, I fed her yogurt...

    Blood on the outside of eggshell...

    Our chickens (4 mixed breeds) have been laying for just over a year, yet this is the first time we are seeing this. It has happened 2 X's in the last month. I checked around the vent and don't see anything. I searched and read some older posts which say that it is nothing to worry about and...

    Egg Bound?? Or something else?? ** An Egg finally **

    I am not sure, as I am fairly new to the chicken world. Mine are about 5 months old and they have been my first experience. However, I love to google search and read the threads on BYC. I wish that someone else with some more experience would pick up on this thread. Now that she is passing...
