    Anyone interested in egg development?

    I have a picture of the pre-laid eggs that were inside a hen that got unexpectedly culled by my dog. Is anyone interested in what the eggs look like before they get their shells? If so I will post the pic. Let me know.

    *A little graphic* First time plucking...funny in a weird way.

    Need Advice on rescued Pekin Ducklings

    Hi, an acquaintance of mine got her kids ducklings for Easter. They were Pekins and very healthy and adorable. She called us yesterday and asked if we could take the ducklings now that they are too old to be in the city. Hubby went over and got them, and boy was he upset when he got them home...

    Perfectly fine EE now dead!

    She was still warm when I found her in a nesting box. Her face was purple, she was laying on her face. I just cleaned out and dusted the henhouse for lice (only one bird, but figured I should do the whole thing, I painted the nesting boxes with the oil/kerosene mix and waited for it to dry...

    Hello from NE Ohio!

    Hello, My name is Stefanee. This past March I started talking about getting 25 chicks to raise. My (I stress MY) plan was to cull out the roos in the fall. Leave it to me to think...lol.
