I'm loving the idea of each girl laying a personalized egg! This gets more awesome every day. I can't wait to see the looks of the eggs of my other four girls!!
Thank you for answering Fred's Hens! I can't wait to figure out who laid the large light brown egg I found today. I still feel EGGcited every time I collect them. I'm loving this experience!!!
I have a feeling it's my second red star Brownie that laid it. I just expected both red stars to...
Two of my girls started laying 1.5 week ago. One is an EE and one is a red star. Their eggs are very easy to tell apart due to the difference in color. I also have another red star, 1 Dominique, and 1 SLW. I know these will all lay brown eggs, but I wonder if I would be able to tell their...
Oh no! Let me know what they tell you. I keep checking my other chicken's eyes and no one else has developed it. I hope both your chickies are well soon. Mine is eating better today and she managed to keep her eye open while getting treats. It's still a bit red, but not as bad as it was...
Here's some pictures of my girl so you can see the resemblance in their condition.
Here's her bad eye open. You can see the redness inside the eye.
Here is the same eye closed.
Here's her good eye.
I hope their eyes are better soon. It's so hard to see her this way and to keep her away...
How is your girl doing today? Mine finally has her tail back up so I think the electrolytes did their job. Her eye is still closed, but she did open it up a few times this morning. It's still red, but not as bad as the last two days. There is still no swelling or discharge. I'm not quite...
I started giving her electrolytes in her water today. Hopefully she'll be on the mend soon. It's too hot and sunny here in Florida to keep her isolated in their run. That's what I tried originally and she almost didn't make it. Please let me know how your girl does with her eye. I'm hoping...
I panicked and isolated mine right away. Unfortunately I left her in a cage in their run with food and water, but she got dehydrated . I got to her in time and was able to get her to drink, but now she's recovering from her eye problem as well as the dehydration. I felt so terrible that I...
I have an EE that I found like this yesterday also. She got pecked on her beak and must have gotten her eye scratched as well. I hope they are both doing well soon. Did you isolate yours? Did you treat her at all? I'm so worried about my girl Sunny
I have 7 pullets and 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte cockerel. They are almost 16 weeks old. One of the pullets is a Silver Laced Polish. She is so much smaller than everyone else in the flock that I've started worrying if she will be okay if the cockerel tries to mate with her. He has got to be...
I'll rephrase my question. lol. Anybody in the South order them from Rainbowmealworms.net lately and receive them alive? I would like to order, but not if they will all arrive dead.
Anybody in Central Florida buy from Rainbowmealworms.net? I'm thinking about ordering some, but it's so hot here that I'm afraid that they won't make it alive.
Has anybody ordered from Uncle Jim's worm farm? They offer free shipping and have a live guarantee.
Thank you LoneOak. Is there a 'special' silicone that is meant for use outdoors? One of the nipples is leaking really bad and could use more silicone. I used the silicone meant for kitchen and baths. Is there a better one to use?
