Thanks for the advice. :) I pulled her out of the nest box and got her to eat some feed yesterday. Today she came out into the run and was eating, drinking, dustbathing, and cleaning herself. Then she went back up to the nest boxes and has been there ever since. She is not looking pale now...
I have a quick question. My broody is on her 5th day. She wouldn't let me move her so she is sitting in one of the best boxes in the coop. It has been pretty hot here lately and she was panting this morning. So I opened up both doors in the coop which coolers her down. However I noticed her comb...
Hello! I have a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte who has been broody and sitting on 4 wooden eggs for the past 7 days. She seems extremely determined so I am going to pick up a few fertile eggs later today since we no longer have a rooster in the flock. I moved her into a dog crate with a nest box...

Hey everyone! I was just wondering how many people have bought chicks out of the extra bin at Meyer hatchery. How many chicks were available in the bin when you went? What were the breeds that were available? How hard was in to find the breeds that you were looking for in the bin? Thanks!
Most people totally disagree with my methods but when six of my broilers got coccidiosis last year I was able to save all of them. Here is what I did.
#1 As soon as I saw the blood in their poop, I cleaned their waterers and filled them back up with clean water and a little bit of Apple Cider...
My broilers had coccidiosis last year. It was terrible! I gave them a little bit of medicated feed and then put some garlic on it. I also put a little bit of apple cider vinegar in their water. I know it sounds weird but we didn't lose a single broiler. I hope you can get rid of it.
I will join! I just set a dozen barnyard mixes this morning! This will be my third hatch and my first time incubating my own eggs! My first two hatches were done with shipped eggs. At the end of my first hatch 0/5 hatched and at the end of my second 1/13 hatched. I am hoping to have a better...
