    Returning to BYC

    I was on here about 10 years ago. Got busy with living in the rat race. I am taking a friend's chickens in a sort of emergency situation. It makes me happy to be of help. I am excited to be returning to tending some hens.

    MI - Silkie pair to rehome ASAP

    I am helping a friend rehome silkies. I cannot take his rooster. So, I am hoping to find a home for a gorgeous RED silkie rooster. I know roosters are a hard sell, so I am willing to throw in a splash or buff hen for $15. Both birds would be about 18 months old. I am in the Kawkawlin area and...

    "They don't lay as much after year 3." What?

    There are many comments on this forum about how hens only have X number of eggs to lay in their lives; how some evil production facilities (and some farmers) only keep birds for a year or so; and how hens live and lay **some** eggs for years and years. What can a backyard flockster really...

    Roo straining in pain. Poo smeared vent.

    Okay the subject line says it all. I have a 2 y.o. Silkie roo. He is eating and active. I have even observed him making a tiny poo, this morning. My birds eat pellets, scratch, and fresh squash & pumpkin. The access to fresh veggies and water makes it highly unlikely that he is constipated...

    ***Bloody Poo in 7 mo. old **** Help!

    I have some 2 y.o. chickens and some 7 month olds. They roost on opposite sides of my coop. This morning I found a blob of very bloody poo under the youngsters' roost. I was under the impression that Cocci is not a problem for birds over 4 months old, but I am thinking this is what it is...

    Facebook problem w/pal.

    I have a friend that is a salesperson in our community... think insurance or other commodity. This friend has done a good thing by creating a large network of FACEBOOK friends. This friend has done a horrible thing by posting information about gambling and binge drinking. Like, "Woo, Ted & I...

    Frenemy

    I was friends for 6 years with a woman in a field of work that relates to mine. Over a year ago, she began confiding in me about how she was undermining a coworker. Basically, she was sabotaging this person's career over some petty crap. This type of mean behavior made me really disappointed...

    My Photos on their My Space!

    I recently got a friend request on My Space. A really nice person that I met through a poultry transaction - over a year ago. This is just someone I spoke with a handful of times. So, I accepted the request, thinking it would be neat to see what this family is up to these days. I was very...

    Mareks & more. Great info on diseases- read!

    I found this APA link_ http://apa-abayouthprogramsite.org/educational_material.htm I am pretty inpressed with their information. My flock dealt with a mini-Mareks outbreak. We lost 3 birds from our mostly immunized flock. What I didn't know and I just read was that birds develop a natural...

    What makes a deal a "done deal"?

    I just got off the phone with a friend who was really upset. A would-be customer just ripped her a new one. It seems that the customer e-mailed, interested in some birds. The customer asked if my friend would come down on price and if she would travel to drop off the birds. There was...

    Ag Dept. testing of chick - I was right - Mareks.

    I am pretty upset. We have lost two hens this summer. Now a pullet is very sick. I think maybe Mareks. We have tried two weeks of baby vitamins, a trip to a local vet, antibiotics, the works... She is uncoordinated & weak. I am ready to put her down & open to identifying our real issue(s)...

    Marek's in older chicks - I vaccinated

    I have a flock of older (2 y.o.) birds that were vaccinated for Marek's at the hatchery. This spring, we hatched out two batches of chicks - now 11 and 7 weeks old. The 11 week olds have been integrated into the flock for some time. One died about 2 weeks ago & another looks bad: buggy eyes...

    Eye problem, not infection

    Here is my 8 week old americana - Google. She has swollen tissue around both eyes. Sorry for the lame photos. Her eyes just look red rimmed, like a person who has allergies. We noticed this when she was a few days old. I thought perhaps it was related to a respiratory issue, so I...

    Big families, what gives?

    I understand that a great many people are opposed to birth control for religious reasons. Okay, I will give you that. What I cannot comprehend are the folks with a baby every 12-14 months. Do they not breastfeed? Do they "want" a new kid, yearly? Another thing: Should doctors prescribe...

    Best Rabbit Site

    What is the best site for rabbit information? Anything even remotely as awesome as BYC? I have looked at rabbitsonline.net and it is okay, but the interface is really old-school. I NEED BUNNY INFO! My kid has talked me into getting a rabbit. Thanks for any help!

    What should vet techs know about US?

    I have a question for the 18,000+ chicken experts on this forum: What should vet techs know about chickens & chicken owners? DD and I have been invited to speak to a group of young people (17-20, mostly) who are training to be veterinary assistants & vet techs. What would YOU tell this group?
