    Loss of eye? [graphic pics!]

    I discovered my most elusive and favorite spangled banty rooster with a nasty infection in his eye. He had lost the sight in the eye about a year ago after having been pecked by one of our full sized hens. Once I picked him up, of course I felt awful because it was clear he was pretty...

    Sick Banty Hen

    My hubby found our 14 month old banty hen under the ramp going into the main chicken coop 2 nights ago. She couldn't/wouldn't get up and when he picked her up, she had a large scrape across the top and side of one foot. It was a little bloody, but her leg and foot looked otherwise ok once I...

    Curled toes... With shoes on

    Hello all. I have a small chick that we think was a day or two overdue, had to be helped from his egg and has curled toes on one foot. I've read tons and tons of info over the last few days and decided to try a pair of "shoes" on him to uncurl the toes and straighten one on the other foot...

    Lost 3 hens in 4 days

    Well... Two of the hens we found dead in the coop and neither had shown any signs of illness. The third bird, a Light Brahma, started looking poorly about 2 weeks ago. She was hiding out on the roost, puffed up and lethargic while the rest of the birds were out free ranging. She was isolated...

    Latest Hatch, not so good.

    It appears that my latest hatch is over. I'm at day 25. On day 21, had 2 nice little bantam chicks hatch. Then on day 22, one chick with bug eyes (is blind) and a chick who got out of his shell, but couldn't stand and his toes were all curled up. That little guy didn't make it and...

    Going on lockdown starting tomorrow morning!

    Well... After much discussion, we had already decided to spawn a few Bantys into the world, today is day 17, I've been turning 3 times a day and we are ready for this new batch of kids. I somehow had my wires crossed and thought Bantys only incubated for 18 days, so I had already moved them I...

    Call Duck eggs have arrived!

    After doing quite a bit of research and lack of availability on Call Ducks locally, I turned to eBay and found there were quite a few to choose from. I ended up getting a dozen, assorted eggs for $12.50. The shipping charge was about the same, give or take, on most of them, so I spent a day...

    Chick with swollen bugged out eyes

    My chicks are 2 days old and I noticed this evening one of them has very swollen, bugged out looking eyes. He will open them and his yes look fine underneath, but since I lost one yesterday, I want to make sure it's nothing the others can catch. I am going to try to get a couple pics of the...

    Looking for Call Ducks

    We are looking for a couple pairs of call ducks. They seem to be a little hard to find and I am wondering if anyone knows where I can either get some eggs or babies. Thanks. Nuggets.

    Newbie Chicken Mom!

    I'm so excited... 20 days ago, I put my second batch of 41 eggs in the incubator.... Mt boyfriend bought me two incubators, because I lost an entire batch last month when the brand new incubator we bought stopped working 14 days in. So I have one that has a turner and fan in it, and the other...
