Hello there! This is my first time hatching eggs. We have 10 babies amd 4 eggs that mama isn't laying on anymore. I do not have an incubator. Is there any way for me to save these eggs? Thanks in advance.

Poor thing is hurting. I noticed she was lethargic yesterday, but didn't notice her eye. This morning I noticed her eye and the lethargy. It looks milky or glazed over.
I've pulled her away from my flock and given her some nutridrench. She is eating and drinking. I'm out of antibiotics, and...

Hey y'all! Got a new mixed breed flock a couple months back. Do I have a wee feller here?? Would be pretty cool because I think I have 2 brahma pullets to match 😁 thank you in advance!

Hey y'all! 👋 I'm not quote sure where to put this... i have 2 ladies currently being treated for bumblefoot. We performed their surgery,, keeping it clean, Vetericyn, clean wraps, quarantined...as well as giving them baytril.

We lost a white leghorn today. They have an area where they free range during the day. We have 26 hens, a roo, and 6 ducks. It almost looks like something tried to dig underneath the fencing, hit hardware cloth and stopped. Originally all I found were feathers. After a little further looking, I...
Hey y'all! I have 2 white leghorns I'm treating for bumblefoot. I brought them in and soaked in Epsom salt, poked, and prodded... eventually I had to use a scalpel to slice it. Poked and prodded and the core came out. I'm hoping we got out all the yuck.. Made sure everything was wiped down and...

These 5 lovely ladies all came from the same batch from my feed store 1st week of June. I don't remember how much they were (I know not 20/chick) They said they were ameraucanas. And I'm thinking that's a no, EEs? I have a couple with the puffy check and beards and 3 completely lacking. We've...
We have had a ton of rain lately. We're in so Florida and fire ants are a problem, ESPECIALLY during heavy rain. They pop up everywhere looking for somewhere dry.
