    Silkie Over Beak

    I bought a Silkie hen recently and have noticed that she has a big over beak. I guess that's what it's called. If she was a human, I'd call it an overbite. I'm pretty sure that I shouldn't breed her, right? I had to separate her from the Silkie Roo I got with her because he was bothering her...

    Sollen Eye and Growth on Cream Legbar pullet

    I'm gonna keep her on the Tylan. Don't hear any rattlings like a respiratory thing - but sure could be. I am pretty sure she has some type of fowl pox as well. Where do you get vaccines for that so the rest of my flock won't get it? Anybody know?

    Sollen Eye and Growth on Cream Legbar pullet

    This morning both eyes were shut, so I took warm cloths and bathed them. The least affected eye is back open. Then, I decided to "soak" the other eye that had the hard crust-like stuff over it. That crust pulled off, and I was able to open the lid. When I opened it, there was a cheesy-like...

    Sollen Eye and Growth on Cream Legbar pullet

    Can anyone tell me what I might be dealing with here? I saw a runny eye on this pullet day before yesterday. I started her on a Corid treatment in her water and separated her from the rest of her group. This morning, one of her eyes is swollen shut, and the other is starting to get weepy...

    The Legbar Thread!

    Sorry to ask this - I'm sure it's already been asked and answered - I just can't figure out how to search for it in this thread. I was wondering if the roos lost that white dot as they feathered out and therefore, I should mark them so I can tell them from the pullets, or whether I will always...

    Yeah - my little pullets are developing the crests (or mohawks), too. Soo cute

    Is the Rooster doing his JOB?

    Okay - I'm going to keep my fingers crossed then. We will see at the end of this week whether any of the eggs were fertile!

    The Legbar Thread!

    Thank you all for your replies. I guess then I will know a roo when I hatch one out then. I'm thinking it needs to be a really definite white spot, right?

    Is the Rooster doing his JOB?

    I have a very nice Lavender Ameraucana Rooster in with 4 Easter Egger hens (I'm assuming as they are from Ideal Poultry and were called Ameraucanas) that I got from the feedstore. They've been laying for a month or more now, and I'm wondering whether or not the Rooster is doing his job. I have...

    The Legbar Thread!

    Chick 1 - Can anybody help me determine the sex of these chicks? Any help would be appreciated. These pictures are of the same chick. Taken at a different angle. Thanks - Darla

    Best company to order from

    Oh - and Ideal will ship less than 25 birds, which I like.

    Best company to order from

    I have ordered from both McMurray and Ideal Poultry. Ideal, because I live in Texas - I felt better about them shipping one night and me getting them the next morning at the post office. Having said that - the McMurray birds were also in superfantastic shape when I got them years ago. I...

    GLW at 2 1/2 weeks roo?

    That definitely is a big comb - maybe it is a roo. My Wyandottes don't have combs like that though. I do have one that has larger waddles at 2 weeks and they are already starting to turn pink. I'll bet I have a roo, too.

    I May Have Trouble

    I have a Brinsea Octagon 20 with the automatic turner. I had so much trouble keeping the LG temp and humidity consistent while hatching my chicks, that I went to this. So far it has been sooooo much easier. Guess I'll see how it works out. Thanks for your replies. Darla

    I May Have Trouble

    A friend brought me two peahen eggs around the 4th of July to incubate. Two days later, she calls to say she had two more. 4 days later, I picked up two more that she had laid, and just today, I got 2 more. Snakes have been bad this year, and her first two eggs were eaten before she finished...

    15+ *RARE* CREAM LEGBAR HATCHING EGGS INCLUDING SHIPPING

    I would be interested in some Cream Legbar hatching eggs. I see the July 19th date is taken. When would be your next available shipping date? I was also wondering how many eggs this includes and what price. I can't seem to find that anywhere. Sincerely, Darla Gips
