    Very basic question on fertilized eggs--

    On wednesday we got rid of one of our roos, would my hens still be laying eggs that might have been fertilized by him? I am wondering how long it takes for them to work it out of their system! Thanks in advance

    Sprained toe?

    The rooster that I brought inside (the one caught in the fly trap) has a swollen toe on his left foot. It's a nice big knot and the whole foot is much hotter than the other so I suspect it's running a little fever. Do I just treat this the same way I would a sprain of my own? Please let me know...

    Deformity/injury?

    Still trying to decide whether or not to cull this chick. I am not sure if this is a deformity or an injury. It looked like this when I first saw it when it was about 24 hours old.

    Culling a chick-advice

    One of the chicks was born with a lame leg and when I inspected it today it looks like it has been pecked at by the other chicks. The leg doesn't bend. I don't think that the chick could ever walk. If you have ever had to cull a chick HOW did you do it? I 'd like to hear some different options...
