I've had one chicken die so far. They are all molting. I have noticed another hen getting very skinny with no other symptoms. But i have noticed a few of the hens eating a orange mushroom that has grown because of all the rain. I have gotten rid of it when i noticed them eating it. Could it be...
I prefer mille fleur but any color will do. Would like to be as close to virginia as possible. Hatched 1 / 18 and it's blind. Those came from michigan. USPS must have really scrambled them. Please let me know. Thanks
I've seen a couple ads on craigslist for serama chicks in harrisonburg. Does anybody have them in virginia that let them live outside? I would love to have a couple.
Thanks
Does anyone sell Blue laced red wyandotte hatching eggs? My husband is looking for this bird and we have already lost two bids on ebay? Any info would be appeciated. Thank you
I live in Virginia. I've been reading about this method and want to give it a try. My first hatch went terribly wrong but i've now bought a hygrometer. It's holding steady at 16% with a temp of 101. Is that too low? I have a little giant bator. No fan. I just bought some D'uccle eggs and they...
I only had 5 hatch out of 29 eggs. I don't have a hygrometer but the bator had water. We opened 3 eggs and they all looked like the insides were on the outside. Fully formed but poor things didn't make it. Any idea what i did wrong. I am a newbie.
All The eggs were growing good . When I put them in lockdown I put the other vent plug in not realizing it would affect the humidity. ( little giant ) Out of 18 eggs i've only got 2 to hatch. Another egg was rocking but nothing yet. I'm so upset. I guess that's what a newbie does . Next time I...
When i was turning my eggs i accidently dropped one and it rolled into another. They are both lightly cracked but not leaking. Should i give them a chance? Or do you think they've had it?
I just won two bids for eggs. I already have week old eggs in the bator. Will it be ok to mix them in there with the others? These eggs will be here friday. Sultans and blrw mix. I'm so excited.
I have my first broody hen and she is only sitting on 1 egg. We went to our local poultry auction and they had some hatching eggs. I bid on a dozen americana eggs and won the bid. So my husband says let's go look at an incubator just in case the hen doesn't want to sit on the egg anymore. So we...
I have a silkie roo and a showgirl roo. I have some bantam hens and mostly standard hens. I'm hoping they will breed the big chickens as well. Is it possible. I think i would get some cute chickens.
Identical to an australorp with lightly feathered feet. French black maran? Lays brown eggs but not chocolate color. Bad hatchery quality?
Don't have pictures yet.
I'm stumped on what breed this is. Bottom of feet are dark colored so I don't know if I have a black australorp,jersey giant, or black maran. Maybe a black star. Can someone identify the black bird for me?
Chicken on right with glossy green and purplish sheen.
What's the best place to buy sulmet or tylan 50? I found the tylan 50 but it's injectable. Where do you find the one to put in water? My flock is getting breathing problems. Will they ever get better to lay eggs or do I have to start culling?
My flock finished the antibiotics a few weeks ago. I now have at least 2-3 more birds sneezing/coughing and also the two original birds still coughing. What to do? Their combs are turning pink. They are only 7-8 months old. Quit laying soon after they started. When being sick, Do they ever lay...
