    Pease Read! Merricks’s or not?

    She does appear to have vision. She blinks when I put my hand in front of it. I really don’t remember if it was always like this or not. I always check feet, crops, wings booties but never thought to check eyes. I’m going to look through my pics. I am praying for an injury and not this! Thanks...

    Pease Read! Merricks’s or not?

    I have never dealt with Merricks so I don’t know but I have one girl that I just noticed tonight has a wonky eye (No idea how long it’s been this way) she is a cinnamon queen that I have had since day old from the feed store. She is 18 months old. None of my flock was vaccinated and 99% came...

    How to treat my chicken using tylosin powder...

    Thanks! I thought it may be bitter tasting. I will make her some mash with the water tomorrow. She is eating like a pig, which is normal for her.

    How to treat my chicken using tylosin powder...

    @Eggcessive my girl does not like the water. I’m guessing it’s bitter. I tried adding juice and sugar. Any ideas on what the daily dose would be if I tried to torpedo and how would I make a torpedo?

    Cozychick Incubator vs Govee- Temperature differences

    I am on day 5 and had the same freak out the first 2 days with my chick cozy. It always reads 99.5 and my Govee was different. I calibrated my Govee to the chick cozy and also added an old school glass thermometer. I am trusting those instead of the incubator. My glass is at 100 and my Govee is...

    Humidity fluctuation obsession!!

    Are you taking them in and out regularly to weigh them? I did not weigh them before as I had not heard this info before they went in so it’s too late for that now. However, I thought once they go in you don’t want to be opening it a bunch. What humidity do you run for the incubation period?

    Humidity fluctuation obsession!!

    My very first hatch set this morning. I have a brand new Chick Cozy that I set up and ran all night to make sure it was holding temp/humidity. This morning it was at 99.5 and 50%. Which was exactly where I wanted it. I set the eggs and added an additional Govee to the thermometer stand. The...

    Bought 2 pullets. They are scared! How do I help with stress?

    They are in my 30x40 shop and no one but me is going out there at all. It’s just me and my husband that live here. They are in there because it’s going to be in the 20’s at night and I don’t have another coop far enough from my current flock to properly quarantine.

    Bought 2 pullets. They are scared! How do I help with stress?

    So I purchased two 18 week old pullets from the feed store today. They are in quarantine in a cage in my shop and have not moved an inch since it put them in there about 4 hrs ago. It’s like when a hawk flys over and everyone freezes lol. They have food and water that I attempted to show them...

    New on BYC, excited to be here!

    How do you keep the humidity that low inside when is 90% outside? My roo got frostbite last year at about 18 degrees. I just installed my hygrometer tonight and it’s 74% humidity inside and 86% outside. I have a ridge vent, 2 solar fans and an additional roof vent.

    Did Tractor Supply do me Dirty?

    I had a moment of weakness when I came across a bin of Cinnamon Queens and SLW’s. Never had Cinnamon Queens and they should be sex linked. Are they colored correctly to be female?
