    Need help and ideas please

    I've culled her. I researched Merek's and she showed the signs listed for the neural Merek's. She had asymmetrical paralysis and labored breathing. Now to wait and see how many of my flock will have to be culled.....sickening.

    Need help and ideas please

    I have a 14 wk old Americauna pullet that yesterday was a little puffed up and not as active as normal (I didn't notice this, my dad did), today she is not using her left leg, and not opening her left eye. I have her inside in a box and she's content. When the box moves she moves her head...

    I have a mystery Rooster

    I need some help identifying this guy. He is about 13-15 weeks old. He's farther behind in development than chicks that are the same age, tall and lanky (today it's cold and he's hunched up), has very green legs, straight comb, no yellow on the bottom of the foot. When I bought him as a chick...

    What watering and feeding system do you use?

    Decided to go with water nipples on a pvc pipe fed by a 5 gallon lidded bucket, the bucket is a dark color and I'll be adding a bit of ACV with the mother in it every fill to help with keeping nasty's from growing. Feeder, I'm still undecided. I have a large hanging feeder, but can't use that...

    What watering and feeding system do you use?

    I'm starting a new flock (I just moved from Colorado to Texas) and am starting over with chickens, I didn't have room to move my flock. As such I am also building a new coop, which I have planned out. I want to use water nipples instead of a can waterer. I'm interested in seeing what other...

    Thoughts and Ideas on how to help newly hatched chick

    ok, so now I'm looking at it and its trying to stand, and its leg that I thought the egg sack was connected near, now looks like an injury. It isn't using that leg, the belly looks a bit bruised on that side. I'll get some pics and post, maybe that will help with ideas

    Thoughts and Ideas on how to help newly hatched chick

    I have a chick that hatched this morning (or during the night) and it is still pretty listless. When I found it at about 9 am it was barely moving and cold. All of the hens other eggs hatched last weekend and she has no interest in this new chick so it's inside. If I pick it up and lay it on its...

    how much to charge for eggs?

    Are these prices recent? If so, it could just be the whole Easter thing. Eggs always go on deep discounted sales around Easter. I am on the western slope, Interstate 70 corridor, and I sell my eggs for $3.00 per dozen. Each doz has some of each color in it, white, green, and brown. I have...
