I want these eggs SO SO SO bad! The breeder looks so good and the birds are so cute...

This year has been terrible. I had coccidiosis in my flock (pretty sure I have it again, just in different chickens), a snake ate all of my pullets, a racoon ate my rooster, and now I think I have fowl pox. Lovely. Can you guys just help me confirm my suspicions?

This morning, I got 2 of my cockerels caged up to try and sale and before our yard sale even started, one of them pooped a bloody stool. Pretty much completely blood. I have noticed this bird staying toward the back of the coop, but I figured it was just his personality because he is very...

Are Splash Cochin Bantams admitted into the American SOP? I have looked on google and I'm pretty sure the answer is no, I just want to make sure. I'm trying to decide what birds I should register for the fair.

Hey y'all! I got some new hens plus some chicks and I need to integrate. I got 2 splash Cochin Bantam hens to go with my black Cochin Bantam hen who lost her rooster. I tried the stick em together, maybe they'll love each other! But that didnt work, so now I have the good ole see no touch...

Hey all! I have 9 Bantam chicks - 3 Blue Cochin Bantams, 3 Millie Fleur Duccles, 1 Partridge Silkie, 1 Golden Laced Sebright, and 1 Red Pyle OEGB. I hatched the Blues and bought the others out of an assorted Bantam bin at TSC. I already sold one Blue Cochin Bantam cockerel and another got eaten...

Hey guys! I have a few Blue Cochin Bantam cockerels (3 weeks old) that I am trying to rehome. I know some of you will say 3 weeks is way to early to be sure but you can't tell me this is a pullet: They are also crowing. I have a few others that are different breeds that I suspect are cockerels...

I was cleaning the kitchen after supper tonight and realized that I could make the chickens some treats from leftover canned and sliced carrots! You know, the sliced carrots that come in a metal cans from the store. So, I made ice cubes for the big chickens, I don't know how well carrots freeze...

I have worked hard for about a week to prepare a small makeshift coop inside of a larger coop and run that is unsafe. I have. A wire dog crate that I made sides for and a small hardware cloth run coming off of it. Well, I put the final touches on it thus afternoon and planned on moving my broody...

I got a chick from the TSC assorted bantam bin (sourced from Hoovers) and was wondering if this is a Japanese Bantam or an OEGB. I have had a BB Red OEGB and a Sebright at the same time. They were the same size. This time I have a Sebright and this chick. This chick is smaller then the Sebright...

I believe my flock of 4 Cochin Bantams has a mild case of lice or mites. The insects in question are white - clear and visible, but small. About the size of the dull end of a needle. I bought Hi-Yield powder from my feed store. I also have Diotamatious Earth somewhere, but I dont really want to...

Hey guys! I pretty much have my Bantam breeds and colors figured out but wanted to know for sure. I got them from the assorted Bantam bin at TSC today. I tried to pick breeds that I wanted. Thank you! Millie Fleur Duccle? Millie Fleur Duccle? Millie Fleur Duccle Golden Laced Sebright...

Hey guys! 3 weeks ago I got some Blue Cochin Bantam eggs from a friend. They are out of a Black Cochin Bantam roo that I gave her and some splash hens that she bought. Here is the hatch a long thread...

I have a cheap Chinese incubator off of EBay and it has served me well. However, the hydrometer and thermometer are malfunctioning and it is time to find a new one. Does anyone have suggestions for cheap incubators that are halfway accurate?

Are there any BYC members who sell hatching eggs on Ebay? I would rather buy eggs from someone on Ebay that is also on BYC, and I am interested in selling eggs on Ebay.

I may be getting some NDs but I need to learn about them first. If anyone can give me any information that would be great and I have a few specific questions. 1. Is $150 too much for 1 intact buckling? 2. Do I need 2 goats or can I keep just 1? 3 Do they need hay all year, or just in winter...

I bought this hydrometer to compare with what my incubator was reading and I am wondering if I can put the entire thing in, or if I can just put the probe. Thanks for any advice! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B098JGP4NM/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A29KZSVA8MG0BY&psc=1
