    No idea what is wrong with this hen...

    Oh, and the BBs aren't lead, they are steel. So I guess it wouldn't be lead poisoning, but could still be some sort of metal poisoning? My son did tell me that he saw some lice on him from holding her - I will check her out carefully today to see if that's a major issue. If so, is that...

    No idea what is wrong with this hen...

    Thanks for the replies. I am giving her poultry vitamins and still force feeding her. She does seem to be up and about a bit more now, although still no interest in eating or drinking on her own. She seems to be more interested in looking around, so I'm hopeful her pecking instinct will kick...

    No idea what is wrong with this hen...

    We have a Tetra Tint hen that we got from TSC in March 2014. We got two at the time - one we found dead in the coop a couple of months ago for no apparent reason. This one is now acting quite strange and we have no idea what is wrong... She is quite skinny, so obviously she hasn't been...

    The Tetra Tint thread.. (Photos, info) ❤

    Does anyone have any info about how long these Tetra Tints live? We got two of them from TSC a little over 3 years ago. One was found dead in the coop a couple of months ago (with no signs of issues previously). The other one is not doing well now. She is pretty lethargic, not interested in...

    What type of bantam?

    He came out of a bantam lot we got at TSC. He is much larger than any of the other bantams. Definitely a boy, but he doesn't really have a comb.

    Bourbon Reds - sex at 4 months?

    Can you tell the sex yet? We've seen it puff up and strut for a few seconds like the tom does, but we've also seen our hen do that!

    Thailand Anyone?

    Sorry, thailand, I actually live in the US. We are heading back to our friend's house (she is Thai) in Chiang Mai in December for 2 months and she has chickens. I was just hoping to be able to get her some different varieties. I'd LOVE to be able to bring her some of ours, but I guess that...

    Thailand Anyone?

    Where in Chiang Mai can you get chicks or fertile hatching eggs? What is the process/cost for bringing fertile eggs into Thailand?

    I lost a hen - any ideas why?

    We've had an incredibly cold winter as have many people. I don't know if the extreme cold brought this on or not. I have about 40 chickens in a coop. Thursday we didn't even let them out of the coop it was so cold. My son went up 3 times during the day and refilled their water and food...

    Please help! Injured duck foot!

    No problem! We got some large hooks and strong line and put some chicken hearts/gizzards on them from the grocery store. Tied the lines to bushes near the edge of the water and threw the lines out. That's how we got two turtles from our pond.

    Please help! Injured duck foot!

    Hi Minnie - I'm so sorry that you are going through this. It's no fun. :( If I had to go through that again, I would probably clean it as best I could, spray it with colloidal silver to help ward off infection and then dry it and put the liquid bandage on it. I really felt like the liquid...

    Need info - first duck egg - very soft! Questions about nesting...

    Cool, thanks. Question - can you eat an egg with a soft shell like that? Yesterday's egg was soft again but did have a yolk.

    Please help! Injured duck foot!

    Hi Tracy - sorry I just saw this! I used liquid bandage that is for people - got it at the drug store. I'm too new of a duck mommy to know answers to your other questions - if you still have them, perhaps starting a new thread would be good. :) Good luck!

    Need info - first duck egg - very soft! Questions about nesting...

    I have 2 ducks and a drake that are 21 weeks old - Khaki Campbells. My son just found an egg at the edge of our pond, in the water - it must have rolled into the pond. The egg shell is soft! I can push in the side of the egg. And when I candle it, it seems clear. Is this normal? I haven't...

    The Tetra Tint thread.. (Photos, info) ❤

    Could these girls be Tetra Tints? We got them as yellow pullets from TSC... ETA: I just noticed that is the same chicken that's on my cat in my profile pic. :)
