    White Specks under first membrane under skin- ?? Graphic

    I just butchered a sick hen yesterday and she had these white spots. So, I am also wondering what it could be. She was sick, couldn't walk and and very lethargic.

    Buff Orpington Gender Help (Edited for my mistake)

    I ordered 15 chicks from Cackle Hatchery, 4 different breeds, and they sent me 20, an extra of each breed. 2 died on the first day, so down to 18. I was pleasantly surprised to get the extras!

    What poultry product do you wish you had?

    So if my 20 new chicks got the mereks vaccine then I can't ever put them with my flock that hasn't had it because they will contract it? I knew I shouldn't have done it!

    How to know who laid which egg

    I may have a broody hen and i would love to put eggs under her. But i have 11 hens that lay light brown eggs, just not sure whose is whose. I am guessing i need to sit out there and watch them lay! As much as i would love to do that, I don't have the time now. Thanks

    New Coop Advice

    Thanks I did update my profile. I do not have pictures, because we are ordering it premade. It will have a high loft, and guineas love to roost high. They are babies now, except for 10 of them.

    Guineas won't go in their coop all of a sudden!

    The guineas faithfully go in the coop every night. But this last week, they refuse. The first night I was able to get a few in. But the last 2 nights none. I am thinking something scared them? Did something get in there during the day? To hot? I have gone over it and there is no evidence...

    New Coop Advice

    Hi All, My hubby is on the crazy chicken bandwagon with me now and we are getting a new coop. I had to leave for the day at 5am and he was supposed to let the chickens out. Well he did the main coop but forgot the small coop (the 2-month-olds) and when I finally got home and 6 pm and checked...

    Would it be possible to get the measurements and kind of wood you used? Or the plans would be even better! This is just what I am looking to make. Thanks!

    Guinea keets hatched!

    We tried to! That was my thought too. But the 2 mamas are fierce and we couldnt catch them! So we thought we would see what happens. My son and I have both gotten flogged or chased. May have to try again.

    Guinea keets hatched!

    Hi all, so excited here. One of my hens hatched out 21 keets. She is being a great mama. Another hen (i think a hen) is sharing the duties. I checked the nest after they left and one must have hatched but wasnt ready to take off yet. I checked all the eggs, 2 more were alive and have since...

    Closed eye

    I did the washcloth and saline. She does have a spot on the eye. Not sure what it is. I put 1 drop of colloidal silver in. She was able to open her eye. Will see how she is doing in the morning! Thanks for your help!

    Mama hen is now bullying all the babies!

    Well she escaped this morning when letting them out into their run this morning. So we left her out and she is doing great within the flock. She does seem to want back in, but not sure I want the chicks stressed all day by her. Also my guineas hatched out at least 20 keets! The other nest...

    Closed eye

    My Welsummer has a closed eye. Just noticed it this morning. It doesnt looked pecked. What should I do? At the top it looks like there might be some brownish green stuff. It did not wipe off, so it isnt puss. Could be dried I guess. Should I put a warm washcloth on it and see if she opens...

    Mama hen is now bullying all the babies!

    Thank you. I have them in a seperate coop and run within the main run. I want to integrate them all soon, but my fence around the main coop is a premier one electric fence and they are still little enough that they can walk right through it. So thinking I may wait a few more weeks. Or maybe...

    Mama hen is now bullying all the babies!

    First I bought 2 hens, 1 with 1 chick and the other with 7. The EE with the one started to be mean to her chick (they were in a coop together and bedded together with all the chicks. She was also mean to the other hen. So I put her in with the regular flock and she was happy. The Speckled...
