    Chicks dying- no sign of illness- help!

    Oh it’s cool. They’re not too hot. If anything they’re too cold. It was 81 & some were still huddled. Others running around. We will be dropping to low 30’s tonight, it’ll be cool in there sadly by morning. Even with 2 lamps.

    Chicks dying- no sign of illness- help!

    How would they be immune to it though? I’ve never had an issue with cocci in the years we’ve had them. Yes I know I’ve been blessed with that. The only thing I would think that would make them susceptible to it is this Bresse group is genetically weak. It’s a 3rd Gen bro to sister group. But...

    Chicks dying- no sign of illness- help!

    And I have no Corid, my local TSC doesn’t have it & I can not afford $109 for a gal either. Omgosh that’s expensive.

    That’s their brooder now. It was 80 around 11; 90 around 12:30.

    Chicks dying- no sign of illness- help!

    Except that would be affecting the older group, correct? They’re fine. That’s the baffling part. The 10wk, 9wk, 6wk olds are all fine. They all shared an area, when we moved them out they got in their stuff. So if this was cocci it would be affecting them.

    Chicks dying- no sign of illness- help!

    See they have no signs of that. By now some should have diarrhea or bloody stool. They don’t. Poop looks normal.

    Chicks dying- no sign of illness- help!

    Ok all need help. Am baffled by this. 3yrs of chickens; chick raising. Hatched a batch of Bresse with a few Silverrudds & Cream Legbars. Oct. 31 was first Bresse hatch with 3 CL. Nov. 9 second batch with more of above & SR. On Nov. 15 we went in one afternoon & found one...

    Cream Legbar- Are these legit?

    I want to work with cream legbars. I have the older girls I’ve attached photos of. And my younger crew featuring 3 roosters too. I posted them to a Cream Legbar fb group & am being told that most are not Legbars at all. Yet all were sold as Legbars. Granted I get it, hatcheries screw up. But I...

    American Bresse (White)

    American Bresse (White)

    We got into the Bresse breed last year. Ended up with only 4 hens & kept 1 of the roosters that seemed best. Fast forward to this year. The rooster has become an aggressive jerk; for no reason. Husband is the only one who can get him. I can enter the pen but I need a stick. Today he attacked...

    Crested Ducks- No Eggs…confused

    We have a breeding trio (m, 2 f). they were laying until fall. They have not started back. Yet all my others have started back. Even my call ducks. I noticed it seemed like they started their molt late. (Like Jan/Feb.) Are they notorious for being late? I’m confused as to why they’re not...

    My duck will not lay her egg

    Umm…can you really feel an egg inside the hen? Calls are a breed of their own. They do what they want, when they want. Period. lol

    Crossbreeding Indian Runners - genetics regarding upright posture

    How would you go about that? Drake runner too big for the call hens. Call Drake wouldn’t be big enough to mate the runner hen. I’d also be concerned about the runner cross being too big for the call egg & dying before hatch. But an upright call would be sooooo awesome, I think. Lolol I raise...

    Indian Runner Ducks

    We raise IDR. In fact they’re the one duck we have stuck with since the beginning. Lol But I was wondering if there was a SOP for them? A fb group to post & chat with breeding about?? Also coloring genetics & sizes.
