    malnourisment?

    I am writing an evaluation paper in college on how to pick the best laying hen. (I just can't bring myself to evaluate a "normal" topic such as cars or cell phones.) Can anyone tell me the signs of a malnourished hen?

    Howdy from Central Indiana

    Howdy and welcome, neighbor. We live fairly close to Paragon. I have really found BYC to be so helpful. My DH was raised in the country and I was a smalltown city girl. If I can be won over by chickens, maybe your wife can too. lol Best of luck in your chicken and duck adventures!

    Sleep talking! Post your looniest statements...

    My son hunts in his sleep. He whispers and makes the sound of cocking the gun then screams "BOOM". It's so funny listening to him.

    I am sorry for your loss. We, too, went through something similar about a month ago. Our shepher/rot mix dog had "played" with our chickens a few times. We worked and worked with her to get her to leave the chickens alone. We thought she was doing great until she climbed into the goat pen...

    Help!!! It may die!!!

    We have had 8 of our eggs hatch and 5 more piping. One of the chicks that hatched still has a bunch of "yolk" in the shell and a cord hanging from it's bottom. He/she seems very weak. Is there anything we can do for him?

    Help please. First time incubating on day 20

    I am so thankful for BYC. Everyone is so helpful and considerate. I am honestly thinking of taking off work tomorrow to watch the bator. I don't think I can stay awake any more tonight as it has been a long day with little sleep last night. Good luck Cashdl with your hatch and thanks...

    Help please. First time incubating on day 20

    Thank you so much for your advice. Should I just keep everything going the same for the rest of the eggs? When should they be rocking and pipping? I don't want to give up on my hatch but don't want to draw it out if there is no hope either. You think a few more days would work?

    Help please. First time incubating on day 20

    Doesn't it just figure...I go for days without plans and then everything happens on the same day. We had to be out of town today which just happened to be day 20 of incubation. When we got home this evening, we had one egg halfway opened with a dead chicken in it. We didn't see what happened...

    My sons new pet chicken.

    This was taken somewhere on our very lenghty trip from Indiana to South Carolina for spring break. It was about 2am. It was some little town and we were so thankful they actually had a gas station open. lol
