    Does anything else have same symptoms as egg binding?

    I have a BR hen that stands like she is eggbound, but I have given her the whole spa treatment, and it hasn't helped. Plus, I don't feel an egg in there. Her abdomen seems swollen, but it's soft. Also, I don't think she had started laying again, yet. Right now, she is in a kennel crate in a...

    Hope for the rest?

    Thank you for the encouragement. I needed that. :) I will stay away from the incubator for awhile and try not to worry.

    Hope for the rest?

    Thank you, Corinne, I appreciate that! I have other pips, now, and hear cheeping. Ordinarily, that would make me very happy, because up until now, I've not had problems after that point. Now I'm nervous. :(

    Hope for the rest?

    I've not had this problem before...I'm guessing it's high humidity, but it's hatch day and I don't have time to read all the possible threads. Here is what has happened so far: Yesterday afternoon (day 20), one egg pipped. Seems good, no worries. By the time I went to bed, 2 pipped, some...

    Review by '' on item 'Faverolles'

    I have four Favs in my GP, and love them for their friendly, hang-out-with-you personalities. They are my husband's favorites, because they always come "help" him whenever he has something to work on in the chicken coop/yard. They stand around at his feet supervising and offering advice. I would...

    Bought my Wellsummers from Lenster here on BYC...I will definitely be getting more at some point. They have been such a joy, and their eggs are literally remarkable. People always comment on their size and color when they buy eggs. The hens are very friendly, although they don't love being...

    Official BYC Poll - How Many Square Feet Per Chicken?

    I answered based on inside space, which is 4-6 depending on which coop. But the outside space is at least 25...some get to free range, and some have a fenced 1/4-1/2 acre.

    "Stunning" Wheaten Ameraucana Roosters - Albany, OR

    The date doesn't work out well for me...my husband's daughter is getting married that week, so we're kind of busy with all that. :( I could probably take a couple up to the Portland area sometime in the next couple of weeks, if you would like to meet me somewhere around there?

    "Stunning" Wheaten Ameraucana Roosters - Albany, OR

    These are from Jean Ribbeck's stock (Pips&Peeps), and really are handsome guys. They are @ 7-8 mos old. I run a boarding kennel, and get several compliments a day on the Wheaten roos. But, the best thing about them is their temperament! They are wonderful boys! They take good care of their...

    Purebred Silver Ameraucana Roo - Albany, OR

    Silver Ameraucana roo - Pips&Peeps stock - 2 yrs old Thought I wanted to breed Silvers, but decided on Wheatens. He's not the sweetest rooster in the world, probably shouldn't be around small children, but he isn't mean. He will rush your legs, but if you carry a stick or a water nozzle he...

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    Quote: Where'd his butt go?? Lol - at the time, the girls were keeping him humble. They nipped out all his tailfeathers. It's actually growing back, now. I will have current pics in the auction.

    Barnevelder breeders lets work together and improve the breed

    I'm sure this has probably been addressed, but I haven't read the whole thread...and I'm not sure I will ever have that much time. I have 3 Barnevelder chickens - I really want to add to that with some excellent quality Barnies. I would love suggestions on where to go/whom to buy from. I like...

    Predator got my hen—kill her or wait until morning to better assess?

    It MAY have been a fox...but it sounds kinda like it could have been a dog to me. I can't imagine a fox not finishing the job and taking her with him. If it had enough time to remove that many feathers...it seems like it could have had time to snag her and run. Whereas a dog is just in it mainly...

    I lost all my peeps :(

    I am so sorry! I can't even imagine the heartbreak. Give yourself a little time & you should try again. When you do, I would switch over to hardware mesh...it's stronger than chicken wire. Again...I am so sorry for your sad loss.
