    Handsome cockerel

    Thank you! I think it's a Blue Laced RW -- we purchased from Murray McMurray Hatchery and looks like Splash isn't an option there. They are super unique, would love to look for those someday!

    Wattles in waterer

    Oh no! I'm sorry that happened to your poor chaps. The wicked storm came into our part of Wisconsin today and will persist with these 40-50+ mph wind gusts and -40 to -50 F windchills through until Sunday it looks like. That being the case, I made the call to not let the flock out of the coop at...

    Wattles in waterer

    Sounds like a great system you have. I forgot that there are standing nipple waterers with the drinking face on the side as opposed to the bottom. Need to look more into that. Warm, healthy wishes to you and your flock!

    Wattles in waterer

    Smart you are, @NanaK! The only problem for us is that the drinker is under the only shelter in the run, which is only about 2" taller than the drinker top when I slide it onto its base. Doh! You are absolutely right though -- might have to enlist my engineering husband to create something else...

    Wattles in waterer

    Thank you, @Solanacae. Now that you mention it I recall seeing the heated nipple waterers in a catalog once. The other issue I'd have there is no place to hang it outside, and I will not put any water in the coop. Great option to think about a solution for next season though! We also have a hen...

    Wattles in waterer

    The water setup for our flock in winter is a three gallon galvanized double-walled bell waterer atop a heated drinker base set outside under a shelter. It works great in cold Wisconsin but I noticed the other day that our roosters dunk the entirety of their wattles in the water reservoir each...

    Scrambled egg in nesting box?

    Thank you @rosemarythyme ! I will definitely cut open and photograph any future suspected lash eggs. Kicking myself that I didn't think to do that with this one. Tried fishing it out of the garbage even but to no avail. As for the enrofloxacin, can I procure that without a vet? None in our...

    Scrambled egg in nesting box?

    @Wyorp Rock thank you! The wheezing noticed yesterday when I went out to look everyone over after finding the weird egg material is the first such respiratory symptom. I read that it can be a side effect of advanced salpingitis, with the excess material pushing on the lungs. However, it would be...
