    MARYLAND THREAD!

    Wow! Might be time to start a Malinois fan thread! My dogs play dog sports (flyball, some agility) and I use to show dogs so I'm familiar with the breed (and also a fan). Good Thing we all live in MD or we'd be waay off topic!

    Shell Less Eggs Every Day! Please Help!

    Have you checked really well for mites? I thought I was being really good about checking the girls for mites and never saw them. I realized after I felt something crawling on me that I couldn't see. They are impossible to see. Like the smallest speck of pepper is what I heard. I certainly...

    Shell Less Eggs Every Day! Please Help!

    I have a Flower Hen that has just started to lay soft shelled eggs. She's just turned a year and one of my favorite layers. Her eggs are usually just beautiful but a couple months ago the eggs started to have a small spot on the fat end that looks like thinner shell. Yesterday I saw her drop...

    Chicken has "pimple"

    Wow! I've never heard of such a thing! It makes sense though. It came from nowhere overnight. I've Googled every chicken disease imaginable and nothing looks like this. Thanks Dawg53!

    Chicken has "pimple"

    I'm at a loss for what this is. She is one of two pullets that I bought from another farm. This is the first time I've brought a bird from somewhere else to my place. Both appear healthy, are eating/drinking and the pimpleless girl is laying daily. They've both been in quarantine for a month...

    Who has ever smashed an egg or eggs in your pocket(s)?!?!

    Sitting on 10 eggs and purse eggs are going to be hard to beat. I hope to never come close buuuut, definitely broken many eggs in pockets both by throwing on a chair and by jamming my hand or some tool in there. Bent over and dropped eggs out of front pockets, yep, done it. Slightly off topic...

    MARYLAND THREAD!

    KLC, have you thought about talking to the neighbors about getting a few hens? I think if you can approach them with intelligent conversation/facts you might be surprised. The chicken keeping "trend" is really taking off and there is a lot of interest in the hobby/lifestyle. If you got the ok...

    MARYLAND THREAD!

    Hi KLC! I grew up in Kensington. We always had chickens and the neighbors around the corner had a goat. Glad to see you bringing the chicks to Bethesda! I don't know of any local chicken swaps for you as most of the people keeping chickens in those areas are keeping them "privately". I...

    eye candy for your flock

    I have several cockerels available to good homes. Silver Penciled Rocks, Mottled Java, Black Australorp, Speckled Sussex and Lavender Orpington. All from good breeders and very healthy and friendly. I travel all through Maryland and would like to get these boys into flocks of their own as...

    MARYLAND THREAD!

    You should think about quarantining any birds you bring home from a swap. Sometimes just the stress of the event and subsequent new home will cause a healthy bird (any animal really) to become sick. It's so much easier to treat one bird as opposed to all your birds. Just a thought, not a...

    MARYLAND THREAD!

    Wanted: Dead rooster. My vet is willing to caponize roos for me (for crowing/anger management). However, when he attempted the surgery yesterday, using instructions I gave him off BYC, he could only find one testicle (wish he found ovaries). After watching him fish around through a small...

    MARYLAND THREAD!

    I work for Bennett Creek Animal Hospital on 355 (he'll see your chickens if they get sick/injured). I know there will be silkies at the Sharpsburg swap. If you can't make it to the swap, I would be happy to pick something up for you.
