I got a new hen a couple of months ago. She laid 1 egg the day after I got her then didn't lay again for a month. Since she laid the second time she has been laying consistently. However some of her eggs have this weird black stuff in them when we crack them. What is it? Is the egg still ok to...
I got 3 new chicks a few days ago. One of them pecks everything. She will NOT stop pecking at the waterer. It is so weird. I've never seen a chick do it.
My ladies will be a yr old in March and they have still never laid any eggs. They are fed and watered regularly. I give them fresh bedding every other day. The coop is insulated so they aren't too cold. What could be wrong? I live in southwest Missouri, where normally it gets pretty cold. But...
I got 3 Silkies today from a farm that was in horrible condition. I wanted to take home every animal they had! Well, when I got home and gave my girls a bath bc they were covered in poo, I discovered that they have mites. REALLY bad. I got some spray from Atwoods. Is there anything else I can do...
Silkie was covered in poo, so Miana and I gave her a bath. She LOVED it!
"Thanks for waking me, jerk."
"What did you do to me?!"
Miana and her "baby".
"This is ridiculous."
"Laugh, I dare you."
"This chicken looks funny..."-Miana
Still loves her.
"I'm so embarrassed."
Bought the little black duck a few wks ago at a swap meet. I was told she was an East India something. She is solid black, with green iridescent feathers, black beak and feet. Not friendly at all, runs any time someone comes near. Pretty sure she is a girl.
This is Buffy. I can't remember what breed he/she is. I'm starting to think she is a he. Which I am ok with. He/she is about 8 wks old, about half the height of a basket ball. It wouldn't let me take a good picture.
Here are some better pics of Poop Face's foot. Does it look like gangrene? It doesn't smell. And DH drained some of the pressure, only clear liquid came out. Just worried about if her foot needs removed. As you can see, she still uses it just fine.
My little eagle.
She is such a good girl. She let us take care of her foot, without any fuss at all. Now she is sleeping in a cat carrier. Going to keep her separate for a few days.
Poop Face got a string wrapped around her foot the other day, and it is still swollen. Any suggestions? No, I am not going to immediately jump to putting her down, so please don't tell me to do that. She walks fine, it's just swollen. She is around 3.5 months old.

I was told this chick was a Buff Brahma, but am now told it is a MF D'Uccle. I also got it out of the pullet bin, but am being told it is a cockerel...
I was also told that this one was a Partridge Rock, but am now being told it's not. Any ideas...?
Baby pics:
I asked the worker at Atwoods to get me a Silkie and turned around. When I got home, I found this was what she gave me. I don't think it's a Silkie, so what is it?
She is gray with black beak, tiny black comb and feet. She has 4 toes. She is a bully and chases my other chicks around, pecking...
