Great. Thank you.

Do you know how they tested? Were they testing meat or stool? Cn you send the link to this qoute? Thank you

Fantastic. This is very helpful. I completely understand the unseen health. In this case shedding salmonella is not currently effecting their health. So I was just clarifying for purposes of my question. I do believe judging health starts with visual assessment. To me "Healthy looking" means...

Clearly...😂 But she's eleven and makes mistakes. Sometimes with icky consequences. She will ikely remember next time. 😬

I've had chickens for years. I have a healthy flock with very little problems. My 11 yr old daughter got salmonella poisioning recently after playing with 3 baby chicks (healthy looking)the feed store gave us as a replacement for something they owed us. We normally hatch our own. They went in...

Our Silver laced wyandotte roo, "Jethro, has a limp. It has been very wet here. Here are pics of his feet. The limp is primarily on the right leg but both seem to look swollen. Is this bumblefoot?

Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to learn. Can I ask what makes you think the white is a Drake and the other maybe hen? Much appreciated.

Drakes or hens? We have 6 Muscovys. All 3 months old. Pretty sure on 4 of them but not these two. White one in the first pic???? I think the dark one in the first pic is a hen. I may be way off. Any guesses appreciated [/URL]

Hi GUys, With no responses I'm guessing I posted on the wrong thread or didn't follow protocol or? Anyway can someone tell me where I could go to get a few answers?

Again, thank you all for you replies. You confirmed what my browsing of the breed standard led to. I guess my lack of experience needed reassuring. Hoping one day to be able to answer questions on here. Lol

Thank you guys. I'm learning so much. Your replies are much appreciated.

That's what I was thinking. Does he look like a he to you?

I was hoping someone would say that but not expecting it. Do you think he is a indeed a he,Roo? The breed standard says he should have muffs on his face. Will those come in later? All but 2 of the 7 have muffs coming in.

We have a great flock of 24. And we are learning so much. Our youngest are a group of 7, 10 wk old Ameracaunas we purchased as chicks. As I have learned more about chickens I realize they are frequently mislabled and are actually EE's. If I understand correctly it not only has to do with...

I am very new to the whole chicken thing, so pardon my ignorance. I am wanting to get an Ameraucana Roo to have the chance to eventually hatch some Ameraucana chicks. Don't know that I ever will, but if I am getting a roo I thought I might shold get within the breed I have. I currently have 2...

Just treated it with antibiotic drops and noticed mucus coming out her nose on that side. Clear and white. Doesn't look like yellow puss. Could this be some sort of disease. Wondering if I need to quarantine???

9 Week old Jersey Giant with eye issue. I'm 99% positive this is an injury but want someone with more experience to take a peek. She was slowly introduced to my flock over a 2 week period. There is a lot of swelling. I've been opening the eye and putting antibiotic drops in. I'm unable to see...

Thanks guys! I will get some good pics tomorrow. We have 4 acres so if he's a little mean at least we are not on top of one another. So far I can pick him up and he will sit in my lap. But he's also not crowing or chasing the girls yet. He did Chase my dog a little, which isn't such a bad...

Pulleys are not laying. Just the older speckled ones. Sorry for the lack of terminology. Love learning all about them though.
