I have 3 cream crested legbar hens. A little over a month ago, I found my first egg. About a week later, I noticed one of my hens walking around like a penguin, while holding her tail down. I immediately thought she was eggbound, since I have had another hen do this in the past. I upped her...
I have two double yolked eggs in the bator that are developing nicely. The 1st one is a B/B/S Orpington egg. The 2nd one is an Easter Egger Egg. Both eggs clearly have two embryos in each. They are all dancing around. Both eggs appear to having a dancing embryo on each side and both eggs...
I am in seek of advice, wisdom, and knowledge. I have 2 Snowy Call Ducks due to hatch tomorrow night. Tonight is day 25. I started out with 3, but lost 1 going in to lockdown. It had stopped moving and the veins were disappearing and turning a dark brown color. I had suspected for a while that...
I just discovered my seramas have lice and one I recently purchased in a pen by himself has leg mites. I dosed them all with ivermectin pour on for cattle. Questions:
When do I dose again?
Can 6 week old chicks be given ivermectin? (They are in a brooder in same room as seramas.)
Is it safe...

I have been loosing a chicken every 1-2 weeks. I am not sure what it could be. The first one I lost back in November was a 16 wk old CCL pullet. No symptoms. The second was another CCL roo, same pen about a month later. No symptoms. The next one was a black copper maran, 16 wks, 2 weeks...
I have a serama rooster with a 10-25 degree angled tail. He does hold it straight sometimes but it does tend to angle more than not. Would this been considered wry tail? I have another rooster from a different breeder that has it but his tail stays at a 90 degree angle all the time.
My 9 month old orpington laid her first egg a month ago, laid second egg 2 days later and has not laid an egg since. What is going on? She looks perfectly healthy.
I have 2 chicks that have developed crooked toe. Neither chick showed any signs of this until they were about 8 weeks old. I am new to chickens so I thought maybe I just missed it with the first one, but now I don't think so. The first one is a blrw rooster. He is now 4 months old. His...
