Not the guy from CT he's from Virginia.

I think your right. I looked back over our conversation and I think that she is a lavender roo over the cemani hen. Anyway she's off to a new home today...

She was 1 of a bunch of "extra" chicks in an order that I picked up from Old Orchard Farm. When I asked him several weeks later what other breeds the extra chicks could be, he asked me to check to see if any were all black as he could have mistakenly added some Cemani. I didn't order the...

Ok I'm going to call her a leghorn that is what most of the "packing peanuts were"

There are parts of her skin that has black pigment, kind of like her feet. Do you think it is an Cemani? Originally when she was little there was no dark parts of her feet. The breeder was worried that he sent me a Cemani so I checked and nothing looked dark. But she is changing. I don't want...

I tried uploading and it won't work. Have no problem posting on FB.

I need some advice. I believe I have a Ayam Cemani pullet. I was given a bunch of black chicks as extras from a breeder that does have the Cemani breed. I don't think it is a good quality Cemani as she is not all black. Maybe she isn't a Cemani at all. But I have pictures and she is different...

I''m sure this was posted somewhere but I can't find it. What do you do when the weather is cold? I have been fermenting since summer and would like to continue through the winter. Is warmth necessary?

The temperature control in my Hova Bator 1602 still air went bad. Had 5 eggs in there for lock down. This morning it was 110 degrees all were dead. One had pipped and beak was showing. I have eggs that need to go in lock down today, that are in another incubator with an egg turner and lower...

It's pretty obvious, it moves like a heart beat. very short quick movements. I did have one once really move a lot like it kicked or something. If it is still there is no heartbeat.

You can check to see if they are still alive by putting them 1 at a time in a glass of very warm water. 100 degrees. Place carefully and the egg will float and if there is a heart beat there will be movement with the heartbeat. If so take out right away and dry off and put back under heat. If...

He's still with us. Still tubing him with fluids and food. Swelling around the hole has gone down but the entire neck is at least double the size. If you support him he can stand on his own. Just need to hold the head up. Color is good, bright eyes.

Bleeding hasn't been a problem, swelling and pain are the problems. We found some wound cleaner, saline solution and flushed everything out. After further inspection of his back he really has minor injuries there. His neck has a hole a little bigger then a quarter in it. Last night we could see...

Treating a rooster with tremendous wounds, neck, and back from a fox. He has survived the night and so we want to give him a chance. The hole in his neck is so deep that you can see the spine. Punctures everywhere on this poor guy. But he seems to have a will to live. We hydrated him last night...

Yes, we made about a 1 inch cut near the bottom of the mass but not totally, because I didn't want it to come into contact with the ground. our hens crop was dragging the ground. Get some tweezers and stick in there and pull the stuff out. We started that way and then went to pulling out with...

My hen, though not as down as this guy seems, was not stressed a bit by the surgery. One person held her the other cleaned out the crop. My way of thinking is he's going to die if you don't do anything, might as well try the surgery, there's nothing to lose. Clean it out rehydrate him and give...

Try the surgery what do you have to lose. We did it to our hen and she didn't bat an eye very little blood, pulled gobs of grass out and she's fine now. It's not a vascular area and you might learn something for the next time it happens. At least that was our thinking. She was going to die...

I have a rooster that has a broken/cracked bottom beak, way back, not near the tip, its at the base of the beak. He is able to eat and drink but it is painful and difficult for him. It is not dangling but it is not in the correct spot. Like he has a minor scissor beak. His top beak could be...

I have a hatch that is from a blue orp roo over blue and black orp hens. I had a gold laced wyandotte that kept jumping the fence to lay her eggs in with them. She was also in with a blue orp roo. I have a few of the chicks that appear to have a rose comb, but one is solid black with the rose...
