I saw the parent stock but what color is this??? She had two pens one black rooster over blue hens in one and a blue rooster over blue hens in the other
I bought a showgirl from someone who said they were npip. The bird arrived sick, I could hear her sneezing before I even opened the box. She has no leg band she is supposed to be around 4 months old. Isn't she suppose to have a leg band on?
I just spent a fortune on a showgirl pullet only for her to arrive sick!! Local feed stores stopped selling antibiotics. How can I treat her? Did I just waste my money?
I know this has came up alot in recent threads but I have a question. So from my understanding you can't use ivermectin 1% injectable on the skin that's what I bought it for was for the use as drops on the skin but now with all the reading people are saying the pour on :/ will it still work as a...
So it started all with my black australorp who suddenly decided to stop laying eggs, well I thought maybe with her age being unknown she was probably done for good. Well after that I noticed she had poop build up all over her butt so I took her out and inside to find out she had lice :/ so the...

Is there any thing I can do about this? I ordered two pullets from a hatchery for my breeding program but I'm concerned maybe this will be passed down to her chicks?
I have a new black australorp rooster that I added to my flock of girls. I just witnessed him mating with a 2 year old hen who hasnt laid in five months and my other rooster never mated with her. So my question is ...is this a hopeful sign that she may lay again or will a rooster breed a hen who...
One buff on barred rock both about a year and a half possibly two. Haven't got a egg since I got them. They've been wormed too. I'm at loss on what is going on. I know they are older but I would at least expect at least a egg now and then. They aren't sick, healthy weight and all. They aren't...
