    Need help with my syrofoam cooler/heat pad incubator!

    Hi all, I just got 12 bantam hatching eggs. 6 are under my broody salmon Faverolle. My main goal is to use things that I have on hand and not procure any more things. I have read a lot on the internet, but not enough to make me feel comfortable, so I am seeking advice from any of you have...

    Cooked Rhubarb?

    I have been making rhubarb juice out of my bounty of rhubarb from the garden, but now I have a ton of pulp left that I either need to compost or give to the chickens. I have so much pulp, I've already put so much to good use otherwise. Now I'm sick of it and wonder if I can give the cooked...

    Sick Chicken, Please Help With Mystery!

    My 3 year old golden Campine, Dora, was found standing in the outside run just standing with her eyes closed. Thought it might be the warm sun was making her drowsy, bu upon further examination, she was listless and not feeling well. I watched her drink a lot of water several times. I took...

    Wanting to purchase Derbyshire Red Caps

    Hi, I've had several redcaps I got from Murry McMurry and all but one had a nice fat comb and she is a runt. I had two runts and 4 good sized girls out of the 6 I got. I love their temperament, I find them to be a challenge in a good way. I don't think they're for everyone, but I hope to see...

    Passing Blood Clots

    My Derbyshire redcap is passing clots. I noticed something bloody coming out of her vent and thought maybe she had a broken egg inside. I lubed up a gloved finger and felt her up, nothing that I could feel. She is passing clots (livery looking things) along with some solid poop. There is no...

    Help with listless chicken, not eating

    My golden campines, Tina, is back in the house in the kennel. (my birds are truly pets, I love them very much, so just culling is not an option for me.) This time she is not eating, wants to be alone and her crop is empty (so shoud wouldn't have crop binding). She feels light. I didn't...

    Refeeding Eggs After using Ivermectin, Suspected Gapeworm

    I suspect that one of my golden campines has gapeworm after consulting with a chicken expert in the area and reading extensively on this forum and on the internet. I have a friend who works at a vet's office and is giving me Ivermectin 1% (for cattle and swine) and I am planning on...

    Tiny Eggs - Two in One Day!

    The first one is from a Derbyshire Redcap next to a normal sized one. The second is from an EE who lays a jumbo size every day and her tiny one is next to her normal one. Two in one day out of 16 chickens kind of has me worried a bit if there is a diet issue. Just chance that I got two in one...

    Partial Prolapse - HUGE Egg - Golden Campine 6.5 mos

    One of my golden campines (6 1/2 months old) laid a HUGE egg today (2.2 ounces, ridiculously huge when they are normally 1.5 oz.) and then I started looking around for who may have laid it to see if she was okay. Four out of the five were following me around, so I knew one was hanging back...

    Using Straw in Muddy Run

    I missed the boat this summer by not putting in sand/gravel into the run and now I'm sinking in mud in the run. I've read so much on this subject and am still a little confused about what to use to keep the mud controlled and as tolerable as possible. I am not going to put up a tarp at this...
