    Prolapsed vent with egg sticking out (red membranes)

    I just found one of my young hens (7 months) with a red ball hanging out of her vent. I did a little research on other threads and I put her in water to look closer. I could not find an opening to push the egg out through so I pushed it all back in to feel around and I don't know anything...

    Just curious - What do you do with your male chicks?

    I am incubating some eggs to get pullets and I have mixed feelings about what to do with the male chicks. Is there a source that buys them? Last year I got a straight run of chicks and had to end up butchering 12 roosters when I could not even give them away ....so what do you do with yours (I...

    Fake Egg question (black copper marans)

    I noticed Randall-Burkey sells fake dark brown eggs - does that mean that my BCM pullets should use a dark brown egg to show them where to lay, or will the white fake eggs work just as well????

    Question about moving hen sitting on eggs

    I'm not sure if this is the correct area to post this question: This is day 16 for a broody Silkie sitting on 6 eggs (she is an experienced hen, but I only bought her a couple of months ago so this is my first experience with this). At day 6, I isolated her to a portable dog kennel (24" x 32")...
