    Potentially Cocci? Or is it worm burden? Need some advice please.

    I have a sick chicken. She's wheezing and looking ruffled. I read through the forum and decided to treat the flock with Worm Away, which states it is Praziquatel (20g/L) and Oxfendazole (20g/L). Worm Away is marketed as a cage bird dewormer (and is all I had on-hand at 11:00 last night), so...

    Pipping in the incubator and silence in the hatcher?

    Wow! If I get ANYTHING to live out of these two batches, it's going to be miraculous. :( I set a dozen (Batch #1) LS eggs in my RollX on May 20. Knowing that the Light Sussex often start pipping for me on or about the 19th day of incubation, I moved them into my hatcher on Day 16, just to...

    Personality Comparison Between LS and Meaties.

    Little Surprises :O

    I had a great deal of tragedy with my first foray into hatching Pekin duck eggs this year (1 duckling out of 14 fertile eggs), and I almost quit. However, after a really good hatch of Buff Orpingtons, I decided to give it another shot and popped a few eggs into my shiny, souped-up Grumbach. I...

    Bit of a Conundrum re Adoptions

    I have a bit of a problem (maybe) developing with a Broody Goose and her strange bedfellow, Brock the Turkey. The situation is this: Angel is an Embden and one of three geese I keep. She's the "odd duck" with angelwing, that the gander was not interested in. She paired up with my lone...

    Set 14 Pekins April 26/10

    As the subject states, I set 14 Pekin eggs on April 26, and followed everyone's instructions here (It's been so helpful to be able to refer to this BB and your contributions). All the appropriate milestones were met by the eggs throughout my candling of them. By my calculation, they're due to...
