    I am treating my whole flock for coccidiosis (even though only 1 appears to have it) with Amprolium 9.6% (Corid, Amprol). Can we still eat our chicken's eggs? It says for beef, to wait a week before slaughter. Is the solution dilute enough in chickens that it's safe to eat eggs and meat? It...

    Anyone ever have "The Bird Flu"?

    You know, when you can't go to work because your chicks are pipping, zipping and popping out of their shells? I was so glad my kids were sick on day 21. I mean, so SAD for them... yes... that's it... so SAD for them. I can't possibly be the only one! Willow

    Help? What did I do wrong?

    Help? I went to do lockdown on day 18 and candled. It looked like completely nothing, so I cracked an egg... then another, then another. They ALL looked like this: A reddish ring the size of an eraser tip, NOTHING else. No smell no nothing. Just looked like breakfast with a mark...

    Vacation disaster

    Ok long story short. I left for 3 weeks and had my neighbour watch my cats and chickens. She has horses, a donkey, cats and dogs, but had not looked after chickens, so I gave her a pretty large introduction to them, she was writing everything down, but I should have made a list myself. Our 5...

    Weird egg!

    Ok so our 22 week old black cochin bantam (Phantom) has laid about 10 eggs, all 1.25 - 1.3oz, all perfectly smooth peachy and clean, all in the nest box and almost 1 a day (she skipped 2 or 3 days). Then we find this nasty dirty egg near the entrance to the coop, covered in poo and weighing...

    Introducing chicks to juveniles

    I have 4 week old chicks (5) that I need to introduce to 12 week old juveniles (3). I was going to sneak them in during the night, what do you think? I have kept them in a "look but don't touch pen" in the free range yard for almost 2 weeks. SO NERVOUS!!!

    What colour is this?

    I was told he was a purebred Old English Game bantam. He is almost 11 weeks old in this picture. His mama and papa were white, but he's got some colouring (lacing?) on his back??? Will he lose this when he moults? I have baby pictures if that would be helpful? Thanks so much for looking...
