    Red Hen's Eggs Getting Lighter---Showing Signs of Weight Loss. Sickne?

    One of our red hen's (red star, mixed linage) eggs are getting lighter each time she lays. This is unusual, because she's a young bird (only a year or so) and has until now laid dark eggs. The difference has been very noticeable. Also, she has been showing signs of weight loss. Thin breast...

    Hatching Eggs---Will The Medication Harm Them?

    We've been treating our chickens with BMD soluble, which is pretty much penicillin, for enteritis. I was going to hatch a couple eggs from our flock, and am wondering if the medication will have any effect on either the fertility of the eggs, or cause any deformations in the chicks. Any input...

    Chickens Very Sick. Not Responding to Medicine. Best Way to Cull?

    Hi everybody; okay, so my chickens are sick. I have no idea how they got to be so bad, because they live in perfect conditions. They free-range, get clean water and coops, are far from being overcrowded, and get a wide variety of feed, grasses, and bugs. Our chickens aren't laying, is the first...

    !!!!Stumped---Help Wanted!!!!

    We've had a big chicken problem lately; not only have we suffered through something like worms, and Cocci earlier this year, and lost half of my babies, but now our egg production (twenty a day at least) has dropped from 0-1 eggs a day. We have at least 40 laying hens. I've tried everything...

    Gapeworms----Treatment?

    What do you treat gapeworms for? I've had a lot of trouble with my birds lately, and am beginning to suspect it could be gapeworms. I've been treating the birds with vitamins, and electrolytes, antibodies, and Sulfa-Med for Cocci in their water, and also DE in their food (which normally works...

    Okay----Again With The BBS Orps!

    These orpingtons are completely bemusing. With all the birds I've had that are "blue" they feather-out blue right away. These BBS orps (which were sort of decided to be blue) seem to not be able to make up their minds about what colors they want to be! Is this normal for blue orps? Or could they...

    Warhorse Game

    Hi everybody, I'm wondering if any of you game-chicken keepers know anything about the Warhorse breed? I came across the name while looking at some pumpkin hulseys, and was quite curious, so asked a local Pump. Hulsey breeder if he knew anything about them. He said that he's never owned one, and...

    Light Blue, Or Splash? (Silkie) **PICS**

    Hey, is this little baby of mine a light blue or splash? I got four BBS silkies from McMurray (one didn't make it) and one is a showing black, one's blue, and this little feller has got me a bit confused. I was going with light blue as a chick (pale greyish color as a hatchling) but now as it's...

    BR or CM? (Is there a viewable Difference?)

    Hello, my family has quite the mix of birds, and I'm wondering: is there a way to tell the difference between a cuckoo maran and a barred rock just by looking at them? We have a bunch of hatchery-quality BRs and a few CMs, and I'd love to know who's who...I lost track about last year when they...

    Any Guesses?

    Hello, recently my family got a bunch of chicks in from McMurray Hatchery. Out of these chicks, my mom ordered the "brown egg-layer" assortment, and we got them all, though some of these chicks I for the life of me cannot figure out what breed they are! I'm normally pretty good, and figured all...

    Paranoid, Slighty Staggered Test Hatch

    Hello, I've hatched chicken eggs before (with a different bator, and under broody) but this is my first time with my turbofan hovabator. I set 16 eggs total, and it's a bit of a staggered hatch. The first two eggs were added to the bator Feb 13, and were only a day old (sat in a carton...

    Calico Cochin Question

    Hi, I'm been looking into the "calico" cochins, and was wondering if anybody has any information on them? I've heard of people crossing mottled cochins and millie fleur cochins with them to improve "type". Does anybody know how well these birds breed true, (saying around F3 generation, as a...
