I went out today to get my every other day egg from my Golden Sebright hen and today there were two in her nest. I brought them inside kind of stunned about finding two eggs in one day in her nest and was going to put them in the incubator but one was pretty icky looking. Looked as though it had...
Well I thought I had stopped my incubating for the year after a hawk got my sweet Silver Sebright. I have tried to locate another to no prevail but did get a Golden Sebright hen from the same gentleman who we got the Silvers from. Got her yesterday. Guess what! I went out today to check on her...
I have a bantum rooster who has had a hard time here recently. Two weeks ago his hen who he adored was snatched by a hawk. Shortly after that I noticed he was sneezing. He is just finishing a "stress molt" from a month or so ago when I got him and he almost drowned. I do know that he was very...
Looking for a good hatchery to order Silver Sebright day olds or older from. I read the sticky but wanted some personal recomendations on somewhere that would ship fast and also had Silver Sebrights.A hawk got our sweet little SS hen last night and my son is devastated. We cannot find a full...
Looking for a good hatchery to order Silver Sebright day olds or older from. A hawk got our sweet little SS hen last night and my son is devastated. We cannot find a full grown hen in our area so I guess we will have to buy day olds. Any ideas for a good place that I can get females?
Okay everyone. I have a prediciment. Our Silver Sebright hen is missing! I do believe a hawk got her, we found a few feathers in the trail behind our house, though none were bloody. Took her last night while she slept. Her rooster is having a cow at this point as so is my son. He loved this pair...
I have noticed that the fan in my hova-bator 1588 is rattling, at least I think it is the fan. I just finished this latest hatch and cleaned it up really well, disinfected it well and let it air dry. I set it back up and got it going because I have Silver Sebright eggs going in tomorrow. I...
Okay due to the fact that my son has a progressive neuromuscular and metabolic disease as well as autism we eat as natural as possible. We have acquired around 25 chickens several of which are silkies and silver sebrights and to which this question does not pertain. I love the fact that my son...
Well you would think that after all this ex citement with my other babies hatching out unexpectedly and all that things would settle down. Well boy was I wrong. I had given my broody hen some eggs to sit one thinking that perhaps she would eventually tire and decide to get up. Well I gave her...
Well, I thought my hatching was over for a few weeks, I have a duck egg due August 1 and have had Guinea eggs in the bator that were due on what I though was the same day. Well.....guess who was WRONG! Apparently momma guinea had set on the eggs for a while before she decided she had enough and...
This morning I went outside to feed my our chickens and went over to check out our Silver Seabrights, the Roo who almost died and his hen. Well, to my wonderous surprise there laid TWO eggs! Those were not there yesterday so I guess she was busy laying last night! I am so excited! Can't wait til...
Well, I just went in to check on the new baby from Saturday and glanced into the bator and guess what! I have a pip! This one seems to be in the right position and was due today, darn me and my forgetting even though the due date was written on the egg lol! Can't wait to meet the new baby!!!
I just had to post this, because it was very funny to me. We have a goose, I cannot think of the breed right now, and she shares a coop and run with our 3 female ducks and male duck. Well our duck has been wanting to go broody for a while so we finally decided to let her. Well we noticed the...
Well, about 2 minutes ago I went in to our bathroom aka incubator room and went to throw out our undeveloped eggs since hatch day I thought had come and gone. Well I candled about 3 of the eggs and disposed of them and then when I picked up one of the other eggs, I candled it and OMG there was a...
Okay, I have hatched my very first chick last week. It did very well and it was the only egg I had that was hatching. Well this week I had another egg, I am doing these one at a time because it is just easier for us right now, and I had been candling and today was supposed to be day 22, I...
Well our Silver Seabright Roo who was literally dying from pneumonia is doing alot better as I posted yesterday. Today was day 3 for his Tylan injection but he is still not back completely to his old self. I was wondering if I could continue the Tylan for a few more days til I feel a little more...
Hey. Well I had a chick peeping all night last night and it had stopped this morning. Well this evening I went to checked on the egg and since i had heard NOTHING since early this morning, I cranked up the heater in the bathroom, got it nice and warm and decided to put a tiny hole in the air...
Well our Roo is feeling badly again. My husband feels that we need to go ahead and try some Tylan and see if it will give him the boost he needs to get completely over sickness. I found it on the TSC website but is states it is for cattle and swine? Here is the link...
Hey Nevermind the question at the bottom. We got ahold of someone at our local University that specializes in poultry!!! We had talked to Robert Brown and he felt that toxocidiosus is what the Roo has but come to find out, based on what this local Vet at the university has told us our Roo is...
My hen and roo Silver Seabrights have been confined to a 3 by 3 cage in my laundry room for about 3 days because they have been sick and receiving medicine around the clock. They are a little over a year old. They have been raised together and are inseperable. I noticed today that apparantly...
