I have common symptoms with many of my hens and just can't figure out what to do to save them. They do not appear to have respiratory symptoms. But they puff up, lose weight, thin breast bone and eventually stop eating and pass. First I thought it was worms??? Any suggestions on how to treat...
Having lost a few chickens to sour crop, found another one with it yesterday, gave it apple cider vinegar and then went to Walmart in search of Monistat suppositories . Did exactly what the first post did years ago, cut up the suppository in third and dropped it down the crop. Just gave the...
In Paso Robles , Calif. Have a beautiful 5-6 week old rooster that came directly from Greg Mignot, Old Orchard Farms, Also known at Ultimate Orpingtons. He is a Black Orpington from his BBS lines. Pick up only to good home.
Ok, this is a crazy one, have had a very uneven hatch under a broody mom- I was just about to throw 4 eggs away- saw babies in all eggs- when I heard 2 of the eggs chirping. I am at 28 days on this hatch, mom sits on them at times and not at other times. The chicks have not pipped the shell-...
Hi Skilletlicker,
I am in Paso Robles- have four lavenders that hatched last week and expecting about 10 more tomorrow if all goes well in hatching. $9 a bird. Thank you, Laura
I am hoping to breed my lavenders- The pullets are just starting to lay small eggs and checking them now for fertility, then all the eggs are going into the incubator and I hope to sell the baby chicks. I will note your name and let you know.
I am in Paso robles, Calif. Just looked and you are 4 hours from me. I think a local lady is taking one today. I would drive up two hours if you would drive down two?! Thanks for responding. Laura
I have 2 ( maybe 3- can't tell yet!) almost 8 week old roosters free to good home- prefer they not be eaten. They were Ebay eggs- from Florida breeder- Greenfire- Hinkjc lines. Pick up only- central Calif- Paso Robles. Email! Thank you.
Thank you Connie,
I got so excited I got the first tiny egg from my Lavender, I stuck it under a broodie. Very good advice you give. Finally got a rooster after 4 years, so want as many lavenders as I can get ( and sell)!! Will try and hold off a bit now.
The hen is just 5 months old and small eggs, My question is can the chick develop ok in the small egg?? Or is it better to wait til they are a bit bigger? I took the little egg and stuck it under my broody hen. So will see what happens. Thanks for all the answers. Love this forum!
