    My bad experiences with some chicken breeders

    First of all..I was not aware of any sickness. I would NEVER knowingly sell a sick bird! I have been in business for almost 10 years and have a HUGE following. You have totally exaggerated the barn conditions, but it is a very old barn and not very pretty. I am glad you notified the State Vet or...

    South Central Kentucky Thread!

    I don't get a lot of "Puter"time..so please call for info on these or to inquire about chicks, ducklings etc. Sebbie eggs are hatching every few days! Gorgeous geese with long curly feathers and blue eyes. They are considered to be quite intelligent and non-agressive. These generally go...

    5 weeks Australorpe Hen or Roo?

    An Australorp pullet will have a comb that is almost black until they approach laying age. A Roos comb will appear pink pretty early on...It's a Roo.

    Orpington stopped laying - suggestions?

    Chickens need 12-14 hours of daylight to lay. With the shorter days upon us, you may need to provide some artificial lighting. Some will lay all winter without it..but most don't.

    MY ladies are sleeping and pooping in their laying nest! WhY???

    You might want to invest in a bag of Diatomaceous Earth. You can sprinkle that all over the pen and in the nest box to control external parasites rather than using something toxic. You can even feed it to them to control any possible internal parasites. Since it's a natural product, you aren't...

    MY ladies are sleeping and pooping in their laying nest! WhY???

    Make sure you have an adequate roost pole for them first of all. It should be flat...2x4's work great. They need to be comfortable or they won't use it. Then to re-train them you will have to go out in the dark with a flashlight for several nights and place them on their roost pole. They don't...

    Egg turning dark on outside?

    When they turn green like that they are a potential "popper" ..I would discard it so it doesn't foul the whole batch.

    Antibiotics

    Are they sick?? I wouldn't use any tetracycline product for a sick chicken myself anyway, but the medication used depends on what is wrong with them.

    Early roo comb growth?

    Definitely a Roo. See the "pink" hue. Australorp girls tend to have a black comb until much later.

    3rd time incubating chicken eggs

    A lot depends on what kind if incubator you are using, and what the average humidity is where you live. If you are using a "Styro" humidity is especially deceiving. The instructions tell you to add water in the bottom, but where I live (Kentucky), I dry hatch and do very well with them in the...

    Put them up in a cage for 3-4 days. That will make them stop being broody.
