I have 2 pullets that had just started to lay. They were doing fine and looked great. The day I found the eggs in the nest box, I was so egg-cited!! Like I said, no problems, they were happy, healthy young girls. The next day I found them both dead, for no apparent reason. . I have...
I've got 3 Muscovy ducks that I need to find a good home for. I'm not supposed to have them, but someone dropped them off at Pet Supermarket here in Pompano Beach, and I ended up with them. lol! They were small ducklings when I got them, but are quite large now. If interested, please p.m...
I've got a question about Start and Grow, and hoping you all can help me with it. I have just used up a 25lb. bag of it, and it smells very "grain-y". It is kept in a galvanized can, inside my house, where it is cool. Whenever I open the can to get some out, its quite warm inside?? I...
Does anyone have an answer why my girls eggs would taste "chalky"? Tonight I made my son some fried eggs, and he told me that they tasted chalky. Has anyone else had this problem, and what do you think causes this to happen. I've never had this problem before. Any ideas would be...
Thats right, I was asked to use my girls in a car dealership commercial this Monday! And guess where they found me? Yep, right here on BYC!! They are going to give me a copy of the video, I'm so excited!! Just think, my girls are going to be famous!!!
I hope I have this in the right place! What do people use goose eggs for? I mean, like, are they also good for baking, like duck's eggs are? Any advice would be appreciated. thanks!
This is a general question about mixing Wazine and Agrimycin together to put in your birds water? I wasn't sure, so I would like to ask before I do something dumb! Anyone have experience with this mixture, and can you do it or not? thanks in advance.

My youngest just came running in to tell me that her brother caught a bat on the wall outside! How cool is that?? I'm so glad to know they are so close by. Its just a tiny little thing. I have no idea what kind it is. I believe it lives in the Sable Palms out back. My son says he wants...

I've just come back from seeing Michael Jackson's This Is It movie, made up of the rehearsals for his what would have been, up-coming concerts. I must tell you, I was totally amazed! That man was so super talented, you just can't imagine.
You really get the sense that you knew this man. How...
Hey everyone! The hubby and I will be going to the Smoky Mountains sometime next week end, or early in the coming week. My question is this? Are the leaves changing yet? This is his aniversary gift to me! I've been telling him that I would just love to go see the leaves up there. Being from...
I went to our feed store today and picked up some Blue Lotion, made by the Farnam Company. My question is this, is this like Blu Kote? I asked the woman at the store about it, and she had no clue. I've got a couple of hens moulting, and their feathers are TRYING to grow back, but the other...
The other day my BIL brought over a whole 5 gal. bucket of water hyacinths for my hubby's tiny little pond. Well, he used to have chickens too, until code enforcement made him get rid of them. He gave a bunch to my chickens, and they just gobbled them up!!! Left nothing but the little black...
Has anyone on here heard of a black sex-link going broody? I thought that this is a hybrid breed that supposed to be a super egg layer? Its the funniest thing. For the past 3 days, she just sits in the nest box, and when ever you go near her, she screams at you!! I take her out, and put her...
My 2y/o Columbian Wyandotte has what looks like warts on her face. They are on her cheek. I looked under emergencies and such, but didn't find an answer. Any ideas? I didn't notice this a couple days ago.
My question is this. I have just hatched out about a dozen and a half little quails! My first hatch ever, and is it ever exciting! I see why you all love to hatch, its addicting and loads of fun. Okay, to feed these little ones, at the moment I only have start and grow. I've asked my feed...
