    To deworm or not to deworm, that is the question

    That's kinda how I'm feeling about it.

    To deworm or not to deworm, that is the question

    At least one of my 1.5 year old hens is having extremely watery droppings. I have been noticing them for at least a week when I scoop the poop board in the mornings. Probably longer, I neglected the poop board cleaning for a few weeks and removed and replaced all of the stall dry about a week...

    This Silkie, is she mottled or calico or Partridge or something else?

    Looks like black with lots of red leakage to me.

    Oyster shell...we finally got an egg!

    Nah, it's just a coincidence. Congratulations, BTW! First eggs are always exciting. We got our first egg from the buckeyes we hatched during the Easter hatchalong at 31 weeks and 5 days. They've had access to oyster shell for about the past two months.

    Love how my buckeyes always look disgruntled from head on "Can I  help you?"

    Indecisive about coop

    Of those two options I'd go with the chicken palace. In your climate an open air coop like that seems like it would be the best option. The homestead chicken coop doesn't have enough ventilation. Honestly with the chicken palace you probably don't need the weather shield, a tarp or two along...

    How long does an open bottle of Corid last?

    As long as it has been stored in the temperature range (41°-77°F) it is good up to the expiration date. If your bottle expires April 2026, that would be April 30 2026.

    Ainawgsd's farm chickens

    Didn't get much out of the bad foot tonight, so I'm pretty sure we've turned the corner. I also put the triple antibiotic ointment in a 1mL syringe and  packed the wound. Next bandage change we'll remember to bring the chlorhexadine and rinse it really well.

    GLW with a single comb?

    They can, depending on what breeds went into the cross. One common cross for BSL is a rhode island red or new hampshire rooster over barred rock hens. All of those breeds are yellow skinned, so the resulting BSL would also have yellow skin. If you used a barred hen with white skin, then the...

    GLW with a single comb?

    Color-wise they all make sense for BSL. The amount of red leakage in BSL varies wildly from individual bird to bird. I wouldn't expect as much variability in size if they all came from the same source, but demand being as high as it was this year the hatcheries may have had different breeding...

    GLW with a single comb?

    Single combs are recessive, so they can hide for sometimes several generations before a hen and a rooster with a hidden single comb gene pairs up and produces a single combed chick. It's a common fault in hatchery wyandottes but it does crop up from time to time in breeder stock too.

    12 Week-old Black Australorp

    I'd say a pullet that's rapidly approaching puberty. The comb looks more pink than red to me. At 12 weeks I'd expect a cockerel's comb to be much brighter red than that.
