Following! I have a 12 wk old who just started having difficulty with walking yesterday. I also just completed several days of treatment with corid. Hopefully someone can give us some insight on what might be going on.

I used a wooden stair hand rail and it has worked great. It is bigger around than a closet pole, is rounded for comfort and easy gripping and is smooth. I have mine all at one level, but there is still some squabbling every night.

Sometimes waiting for eggs seems to take forever but when you buy them as chicks they definitely become more bonded to you. I bought 4 chickens as pullets and 1 1/2 yrs later they are still spookier than the rest always staying just out of reach. If I want to check them over I have to wait till...

Last night we had a horendous thunder/lightening storm. This morning when I went out to the coop i found one of my pullets dead in one of the nest boxes. She was fine and up on the roost when I closed her up for the night with the other girls She was showing no signs of illness. Does anyone...

Last night we had a horrific thunder and lightning storm, in the morning I found one of my girls dead in one of the nesting boxes. First off not one my girls ever sleeps in the nesting boxes, so to find her in the box in the morning was a surprise. When she went to bed last night she was...

Never introduce new adult birds into the flock because of the increased chance of diseases. Quarantining them as you should is just too impracticable in most settings. Bigger & taller coop & run.

Are the eggs still a bit on the small side? 15-20 minutes is what I use for large to ex large eggs. Over cooking will make them rubbery

Steaming for 20 minutes also works great for me. Perfect easy to peel eggs even with eggs just laid that day

After trying all sorts of methods steaming works best

I just had that happen with a new duck. I put its friends in a crate near the area it disappeared at and less than a half hour later it was crouched next to the crate. Actually catching it was another matter, it took several attempts over several hours but we finally got it. Good luck, i think...

My favorite roo name was Stewie and that is what he eventually became.

I have a dark brahma chick who is feathering out extremely slow compaired to my other 15 chicks. They all will be 6 wks old on Fri. All but the little Brahma are completely feathered out. The brahma only has chick fuzz except for its wing feathers and a few pin feathers making their way out on...

So Glad to hear that there is nothing wrong with my dark brahma. Mine was a surprise chicken from McMurrays also and is 5 weeks old today. All my other breeds of chickens are about 90% feathered and the brahma has mainly just wing feathers and the rest is still chick fluff. It is a pretty...

I'm also thinking Blue laced red roo- looks to be a splash.

I have 4- 3 week old wyandottes. 1 columbian, 1 golden laced, 1 silver laced & 1 blue laced red. 3 of them have feathered out at the same rate with wing feathers and little tail feathers (gl, sl, blr) but the columbian is lagging behind especially where the tail feathers go. I have read...
