My boy Thorin is having a problem with his eye. I'm not sure how it happened, I just want it gone. Any treatment tips, please?

I have a hen that is sneezing a lot, and starts wheezing sometimes. She also had a coughing fit and yellow phlegm was coming out of her mouth. Her abdomen is hard, and her crop feels watery, though she is eating. I just noticed this when I picked her up, but no one had noticed any wheezing or...

I'm going to be this year's junior poultry superintendent at the county fair, and I'm trying to come up with some ideas for an educational demonstration or display. I'm not sure what information to include, or what to do the demonstration about. I think I could do a poster with common breeds for...

I'm sure we've all had strange encounters at places like fairs, parks, stores, ect, with rather confusing people. Here we can share some funny, irritating, or confusing stories. (Feel free to rant) We recently had our county fair, so of course there were some erm.. unique people. I had just...

I have some chicks that are 3 weeks old, and for at least the first week their toes seemed fine. Now, some are slightly crooked. Do you think they are too old for their toes to be corrected?

I have summoned you to the thread of High Hrothgar to discuss the Way of the Voice, quests, dragons, and anything else that you find in the great province of Skyrim, Dovakiin. Or we could turn this into RP. I can't have a disscusion or rp alone, and I like the idea of either.

It's already time for public presentations, 4Hers! I was hoping to do one on chicken genetics, but haven't been able to find info. =( I am now considering the benefits of raising chickens, or something like that. So, what's yours going to be about? (And do you know of any books about poultry...

I am expecting a hatch next week, but I encountered some questions that will help my next batch. I have heard that the way an egg is incubated affects gender. Is there any truth to this or is it just a myth? If I have a power outage, how long do I have until it harms the eggs...

This week is full of releases on games, books, movies, ect. How many of us are waiting for one of these items and what are they? Let's see what's most popular, I'm guessing Skyrim and MW3, and the book Inheritance. I'm so glad Inheritance is finally out!!

Some of my cockerals ended up with single combs, and the winters in Central NY have me concerned. Anything I should do for them?

I believe that I speak for all owners of "mutt" chickens when I say " We LOVE them!" Right? If the purebreds have their pages, why not our beautiful little "expirementals?" I'll start with some of my pics. This cockeral is probably my favorite for showing, I think he is Brahma/RIR

I've been looking for good books about poultry genetics and breeding, but haven't found much. I want an idea of what to expect when I crossbreed, and instead of asking you the genotype of ten chickens, I want a book that I can use in the future, too. Any recomendations?

I have a silkie that looks like a pullet, but it is close to 8 monthes old and hasn't laid an egg. I have heard that some silkies lay much later than most breeds, depending on the quality of the bird. Is this true? Here are some pictures of it. The one on the left is a cockeral and the one...

I want to get an incubator soon, but I want to get the best incubator I can. I've got about $60 as my maximum price. I've been looking at the GQF Hova-Bator Thermal Air Flow Egg Incubator. Any reviews/recomendations?

Hi! I live in NY and have a flock of 11 chickens, all of which are cockerals and pullets. I have two Brahma cross cockerals, one of them is probably a Rhode Island Red cross and is called Red (I know it's not very creative ) and the other is a mottled pattern I think. His name is Marvin and he...
