    Hi Debbie, I have a bunch of silkies with lice Wondering if the two products u used to treat the mites in your coop worked? I'd rather not spend $140 on the other stuff if I can help it. Dusted all of them with Sevin this morning (48 including the chicks) and I'll do it again in 10 days, but I'd...

    Double yolk

    It looks like a saddled air cell. Was the egg shipped? Looks like it has lost a lot of moisture too. (Maybe too much?) If you get it to lock down my (humble) opinion would be to let it hatch in an egg carton pointy side down. Best of luck;)

    HELP the hawks keep going after my chickens

    Red tailed got my bird today. It was the first and only chicken I've lost to predation. My "silkie sitter" came in the house when my mother in law came for dinner, and I didn't realize it. I'm so so sorry for your loss. I completely understand your distress and sadness. Best of luck

    dogs killed chickens

    I am terribly sorry for your loss. That is extreme and your anger is justified. $30 per laying hen sounds right to me..but feed and time! How can you be compensated for that?

    Just looking for some support

    I treat them like I would want to be treated. Your kind words are making me cry all over again I understand they are "only chickens" I really do! We have even ate two last year because I had too many roosters and didn't know what to do. They had a quick death (hubby) and my son and I processed...

    I seriously love you, I truly needed to hear that. I can not stop crying and welling up with tears. I feel like it was preventable on my part. I shouldn't have let them out. I'm so sorry about the impacted crop..especially after winning! You should be proud of yourself! I am upset and in turn...

    Just looking for some support

    ...out in March. My mother in law let my wheaten terrier in when she came for dinner and I had no idea! She is my "silkie sitter" and she does a **** good job! I've kept chickens for about 5 years and this is my first loss. Hubby built Fort Knox for the coop but they were free ranging. It was a...

    Tragedy - seeking advice ASAP, please!

    Go into a dark closet, and use your phone flashlight. It should be bright enough. I hold my light right up to the large end of the shell. I think 102 is a degree or two too high. I would put the damp cloth over them and maybe 102 will be ok.

    Help! Rooster picked my hens hesd and comb!

    vetericyn or microcyn work wonders! I use it on my kids scrapes and cuts too. It's expensive but worth it. You can get it at tractor supply. Best of luck!!

    Tragedy - seeking advice ASAP, please!

    Don't worry about food or drink until tomorrow or the day after. That yolk sac will keep her full and hydrated for a couple days. I keep the food and water in the brooder but they don't touch it for a day or two.

    Tragedy - seeking advice ASAP, please!

    Keep the baby warm and dry so she can fluff out. Don't pick at the yolk sac unless it's very dry and dehydrated. I would snip it if it's hanging there too long...they can sometimes peck at it and their insides come out with it. Keep the eggs as close to 99.5-100 degrees as you can, without an...
