Ok, so they are 6 weeks old now and I'm suspicious about 3 of them. Hope I'm wrong but the first one especially looks like a cockeral., first 3 photos. Appreciate any help! #2 Goldie is starting to show some things and I hope I'm wrong. #3, last two photos Choco, is looking suspiciously...

Of course my favorite hen. Symptoms: skinny, getting worse. Yellow tinged solid poop, looks normal otherwise. Gone for 4 days and this morning her back has scabs, missing feathers, dried blood at base of upper tail feathers. Comb is grayish...

Is this put in fresh water daily by dumping out the old water every morning, or added to water then use the water up before dosing again? Hope that made sense.

I was given 2 free EE chicks at the feed store last March. I noticed right away that as they grew that they didn't have pea combs or muffs/beards like all my others and my Ameraucana's. I'm glad I kept them until they started laying a few weeks back because they are difinitely laying olive...

My broody had some eggs ready to hatch any day now, she is the top hen in the flock. This morning I went to check if any had hatched and found her in another nest box on other just laid eggs and her own nest of eggs were ice cold! I put her in front of the nest and she climbed back on them...

Well, with some eggs almost ready to hatch, I found my broody this morning on another nest on other eggs. She left the nest and the eggs are cold, I grabbed her fluffy butt and put her in front of the original nest and she climbed back in. Are these eggs completely non viable now? She is top...

Ok, I was under the weather for a while and hubby took care of everyone. After getting back on my feet I noticed I had a broody or two. Asking my husband when she started sitting on the nest was to say the least, no help. Next day two were trying to brood in the box. That was the same day I...

I got my first two Mottled Java hens from the feed store. They are so beautiful that I finally ordered a whole flock of them. The first two have huge spurs on them! Yesterday I trimmed them a little. The batch I ordered is now 16 weeks old and not one has spurs. My husband tells me that I...

I always have ordered from Cackle Hatchery, they have wonderful service, excellent selection, chicks always healthy, I just can't say enough good things about them. But I've been wanting Mottled Java for a few years now and I took a chance on Welp Hatchery since our feed store orders from them...

I only have 2 Mottled Java hens and would love to hatch more out, especially since they have been broody all summer.

I've always ordered from Cackle, but for the last 10 days I cannot get on their website! So frustrating, and I have no other internet or online issues. Anyone else?

Love this incubator, but we quit breeding and hatching. I got 90% hatches, it comes with 3 little humidity gauges, incubator thermometer, extra fan, and I included the tubing I insert through the vent to add water occasionally. Works fantastic for dry incubating. Manual turn or you can still...

I am wondering if someone can provide photos or an explanation of a roost hood. I have an 8 x 8 insulated chicken coop with the vents at the to, two windows I close in winter, and a pop door under the poop board. Each winter I have to put styrofoam inserts into the one over the roosts to keep...

That article in the learning center just saved an expensive chick for me! Thank you! I have hatched many times but it's been awhile. I got 7 eggs of a rare breed, the eggs were dirty and I sanitized them with Oxine using information from another article on here. The only egg to make it to...

All I can find is these posts. What happened to being able to scroll through photos of members coops and runs? You know, small, medium, large.

This is from one of my pullets this year. They all just started laying about a month ago. They do not free range, all are in a covered run and coop. This looks pretty gross, even with all of the shelless eggs and the usual oddball eggs from the egg factory startup with young pullets, I have...

Someone tried to tell me that Ivermectin horse paste can be rubbed on the skin of a chicken at the neck and vent to get rid of mites and lice. I don't believe it, am I wrong? I know the injectible and pour on work.

I've been having so much trouble with the site for two days now, so slow loading anything that it's useless to even try to navigate around. Windows keeps telling me your site is not responding. I have updated and tried Chrome and Internet Explorer, updated my flash and the other one, cleared...

My 2 Silkie roosters are 8 months old and the hens are 14 months. Are these fertile eggs? My Splash rooster died last fall, I got some good hatchings out of him, but I wonder if these are just too young. A few look fertile but I'm not sure, and the hens lay so inconsistently it's hard to...

I had an 8 week old Speckled Sussex rooster that all of a sudden (it seemed) could not stand or walk more than a few seconds. I researched on here for help, in the meantime I realized I had noticed that although he acted normal,his comb and wattles had gone pale and he was very laid back the...
