Had some chicks not hatch, even though pipped and some shell gone. They seem to be gooded in thieir shells. Plenty of humidity. What causes this slimeyness that cements them in?

If you appreciate rare breed poultry, this is one of the rarest of the rare. Parents are show birds. Very high fertility rate. The all white birds are showable too and they may, on occassion throw an all white chick, I have three white starts. I have more pics if you would like to see more...

I recently found out my 4 mo. old bantam Delaware pullet is a cockerel! She went from Della to Dell in less than 3 minutes! Now, I have been advised to use feed made of white corn to preserve his brilliant white plumage and white flesh. We live in NW Iowa, right in yellow corn country, and I...

My almost 4 month old bantam Buckeye was struggling a week ago, not acting normal, favoring her right side. I gave her some Poly-Visol and in the process she fell out of my hand and landed with a thud on her left side on the concrete. I kept her inside for a few days, and monitored her. She...

I do not think this is a case of scaly leg mites... but not sure. And, was not able to find any search specific enough for this issue. Have a two year old hen alone in a pen with a 3 year old roo. I recently noticed that it seems she is loosing her foot and leg scales. She is also moulting...

For those of us that test our own and hire out on occassion, to do P/T testing on chickens, does anyone know of a source that supplies smaller dose bottles than a 1000 dose or test supply? Seems to me the manufacturer/s would make twice as much money selling them in 500 dose bottles as well...

I love the new mugs! Nice and big to wake up with! My Father used to say, when my Mother was going for coffee somewhere, with friends, that she was at some "hen Party" Well it was true! Look what I caught on hidden camera this AM...

Have a two day old bantam Buckey (a real cutie) with a couple of crooked toes. I used band aid ends to make a boot to keep the toes straight. The chick was not in pain while booting but, HATES the boot! Is there anything I can do to calm it down? Use a heat bulb instead of a light etc? Or...

I found this article of great interest, while thumbing through a science magazine at the dentists office the other day. The receptionist was kind enough to make me a copy. Thought I would share it with everybody. Hope you enjoy it...

Would also consider older birds. What have you? Please PM Thanks!

This girl lays her egg, or drops it anywhere, then she finds a nest box to scratch and sit in for a rest? Go figure. I am going to change her name to "Ernestine Stop and Squat". Anyone have an idea of how to break her of this?

Saw button quail for the first time today and was enthralled by how tiny they were. Can anyone tell me what purpose they serve? They seem far too small for a production breed and as a hunting breed. Are they purely for enjoyment, like ornamental banatms? Are they a song bird? Can you eat...
