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...
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...
I will be starting my hen on some linxmed-sp, I realize that eggs shouldn't be consumed while the hen is actively taking the meds, but will they ever be safe on this particular antibiotics?
Thank you so much for your help...

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...

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...
So I have hatched some fertile eggs in an incubator my first time. Was pretty successful for a first timer. Out of 11 fertile eggs, 10 hatched. I had a 2 more set for a week later that hatched today. There was a break in each shell when we went to bed last night. One hathed fine (was in...
Hello All,
I am looking to start a small pet sitting service and I need a name. Does anyone have any suggestions or could you look in your local phone book. I would't want to copy a name from somebody in my area. So I am reaching out to my BYC friends that on NOT located here on Long Island...
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...
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...
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...
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...
