    Do roosters have veins in their spurs?

    If you haven't been attacked by surprise while bending over, then you will trim spurs until then. The 2 holes , 1 on my face and the other in the back of my head made me change my method. I now nuke a poteato for 8 to 10 minutes or less for small potatoes, until the center is too hot to touch...

    2 Week Old Chick Not Eating and Opening Mouth with each breath - HELP!

    Watch your chickens closely. That sounds a lot like gapeworms. And if it is, it can spred. I would isloate all chickens that came in contact with that one for at least a week and watch them closely. Also read as much as possible about these worms. I know some have said it doesn't effect small...

    Need Help With Symptoms I've Never Seen Before

    Re-read gapeworm data. Mine started like that from some day old birds I bought. No one could explain as the seller swears they don't have a problem. From reading I found there is a possibility that an adult can have them and not show symptoms for a long time but may pass with eggs. I couldn't...

    Sick Dying Lathorgic Chicks!

    Sick Dying Lathorgic Chicks!

    My Ameracauna chicks are 2 weeks old and now I have had 2 of 11 die. They get lathorgic, head down and then neck stretched while acting as if gasping or gaging on something. They still eat, drink and poop. The poop looks and smells normal. It seems to be spreading. I seperate them as I see the...

    Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) vs Texas A&M for PT testing

    Why would one use the Texas Animal Health Commission over Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory for Pullorum-Typhoid Program testing? A&M is free but one is not registered with the state as a seller, which I don't mind being registered, but it cost $35 annually. I will only sell at...

    Has anyone bought Cuckoo Marans from Ideal Hatchery?

    I wish I could tell you about shipping from Ideal Poultry and all of their breeds, but I can't. I chose my own variety and picked them up at Ideal's location in Cameron Texas 2 weeks ago. They were all strong chicks, quick to catch on to water & feed. I have had absolutely no problems with a...

    Texas Auctions/Swaps?

    There's a show in La Grange March 2nd. So far there has been no sign up. The Austin Backyard Meetup Group's Assistant Organizer, Susan Lemke, told me about it. I also got a name from some where (maybe the city of La Grange's website), but haven't been able to get thru to him & he doesn't have a...

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    Sorry I missed all the fun. Why would it ever get to the point of removal of a thread. So childish of those that caused it. As for Marans, they should be able to be shown in both poultry and hog shows. Never saw such a pig of a chicken. I use to be able to free feed and refill my 6 - 40 pound...

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    WOW, your egg thief must be something else. In my 40 years of BYC's, I have never seen a lock on the outside door of a nest, especially one requiring you to go inside to unlock. Great looking birds and nest too. Very secure, LOL.
