    Bleeding from rectum

    TOday, I had three pullets (about 12 weeks old) bleeding from their rectum. One had about a 2 inch tube of blood (I don't know if it is her intestine or not) but she is also very weak. Anybody know what this is, how serious and contagious it is and how to treat it?

    Suscribing to a thread

    I'm assuming that the feature to suscribe to a thread saves it somewhere for easy access. If so, how do I find it? What is the best way to mark a thread to check out later?

    Pullet eggs and cleaning

    I have a couple of questions... My pullets just started laying (Auracanas), and I was wondering if the first eggs would be good to hatch since they are smaller. I know you're not suppose to wash your eggs but is it ok to to take a wet toothbrush and clean 'em and immediately dry them off?
