    Stuck egg?

    Hunting tonight...

    I woke up this morning to go doctor on Turd, my 6 mo old EE roo (he fought the turkey and the turkey won). As I was walking down the back steps I noticed 3 feathers that were particularly long. I picked them up and noticed a green sheen on them, unlike any of my other babies, I knew they...

No bodies or nothing...

    Did I buy a problem?

    I just bought some silkies off of craigslist last night. The roosters woke me up at 5am and I went outside to be annoyed that I cant shut them up, and in the cage with the red silkies, I can hear the hen breathing. I think its the inhaling she is having problems with. It almost sounds like...

    Swollen oozy eye from chicken fight?

    I went to check on my hen and her new brood, and when I got into her pen, she had one eye swollen shut and I found a dead chick. I assume she got into it with another chicken, but in the time it took me to go get the Terramycin Ointment from the feed store, it began oozing brown stuff. I have...

    CUTEST chick! What breed?

    Everyone, meet Scarface. Its the cutest chick I have ever seen. I think it resembles a penguin myself, but the shipper doesn't list that in inventory. It hatched out of a mixed batch of eggs ordered from a fellow BYC'er, and neither of us have a clue! Anyone recognize this little fella...
