    Dry pox question

    I have read that it usually takes about 3 weeks once you see it on your birds until it's gone. My question is how long does it take from the time it starts until the time their comb gets back to normal, or will it even get back to normal? Thanks, Chris

    I built the young-uns a little play pen for some fresh air.

    I was playing around this weekend and built some panels to make a play-pen for the little ones that are to small to go in the coop. I used hinges to hold the panels together so that all I will have to do is pull the pins off the hinges and I can easily store each panel when not in use. I can...

    Buying hatching eggs....

    What causes an egg to be porous? Does it have to do with diet, stress or what? When I receive hatching eggs in the mail, I started checking them not only for cracks but for being porous before they ever go near the incubator. Is there any recourse one should take with the seller of such eggs...
