I have 33 adults ranging from 1-5 years old. Back in Nov. they went from 20+ eggs a day to 1-2 a day. Figured it was from the temps. dropping, shorter days, and some of them seemed to be molting. Their production has picked up to about a dozen a day now but I have noticed for a few weeks...

Hey everyone! I went to collect eggs today and I am really concerned about what I found. I got an egg that was kind of flat on one side and looks really weird. I have never in my life seen an egg like this and then I found another one in the next box! 2 weird flat eggs in one day! They look...

Hi, I have a white rock roo and had 5 barred rock hens. I am wondering what I would have gotten if I had crossed them. Considering getting more barred rock hens.

I lost several chicks last year to bloody poop. Have no idea how to spell the actual condition (coccidiosis?) but I treated it with corid. My question now is if anyone has ever used it for prevention befor their chicks got sick since it is so deadly once they get it? I have 4 chicks now and...

I just hatched out 25 chicks and 2 of them had one of their legs sticking out to the side and never could get it under them to stand for more than a second. It just kept coming out from under them and they would just sit there with their leg sticking out to the side real un-natural looking. I...

I was sold this chicken this summer and they guy that sold it said it was from some eggs that were given to him and it was a game hen. At the time I bought 3 of them and they were all yellow with a few black spots. Still have a pic of them as chicks if that is needed. This is the only one I...

This is my hen. I have so many I don't know if she has been laying or not. She is just over a year old. I found her like this when I got in from work and took this picture just a few minutes ago after I couldn't find any info about it on the net. Closest thing I can come up with is impacted...

I have never been around a goose and know nothing about them. I have had chickens most of my life and am wondering how different they are. I would like to get a goose or 2 for the eggs but be for I get one, I need to know if it is what I want to be getting into or maybe it would be easier to...

I got this chick from Meyer Hatchery and from what I have been reading on BYC, hatchery stock and true breeds are not quite the same. This pullet(?) was hatched in mid Aug. and was in an assorted brown egg layer group.

Hi, I have only ever raised regular standard breeds and a few bantams but never broilers. I got an email from a hatchery with their broilers on sale and need to know a few things befor I go and buy 25-50 meat birds. These are the kind that are ready to kill in 7-8 weeks. How much feed do they...

I noticed blood in the poop of my baby chicks yesterday and this morning 2 were dead. After I removed them I saw more fresh blood but can't find which one or how many is doing it out of almost 50 chicks. They are 2 weeks old with plenty of fresh water and medicated chick starter. There are a...

Hi, I have been reading post on here for months about hatching eggs and thought I was ready but now that I have gotten my bator ready and my eggs set last night I have already made a mistake. I forgot to add water for moisture. It seems now that I am the one hatching and not just reading...
