I could not find a good forum for this, so here goes. A friend asked me what was up with this egg. This is a grocery store egg, so chick isn't an option. Any ideas?

These 3 joined our family a few weeks ago. I'm wondering if they are Chinese or African geese and if anyone has a guess as to gender. My guess thus far is the center one is male and the other 2 female. The one in the middle has a different call, more of a squeaky whistle. The other 2 have...

Any ideas on this assorted duckling? Feed store had no idea and just said assorted. All gray with a dark bill and feet. Stands and walks like a typical ducknow, though in this picture she seems tall because she or he was trying to jump. I am hoping the other two are a rouen and a Peking, but...

She lost her friend last week to something and now she's quiet and weak. There are no symptoms or injuries. She looks totally healthy, but is way too calm and quiet. Any ideas? She's about 3 months old and a peking. No bites, no lice, no mites, clean habitat, sort of indoors (covered...

Young bantam roo. Has this sore on the side of his head, above the eye. It is very swollen. Any idea what it is or what I should treat it with? Concerned since it is so close to the eye.

I treated her for lice and don't see any moving anymore, but she has lots of egg sacs. Is there anything I can do about those? She seems a little better today, holding her head up and standing more. She's been cooing to me too and is now fighting when I try to give her fluids. I got a few...

These are what are on her. I dusted her with Garden and Poultry Dust, and oh, my they came out of hiding. The poor thing is infested with them! I gave her some Nutridrench and have her in isolation in the house. Will she be too cold in the house, about 74-76 degrees? Is there anything else...

One of my 2 Polish Bantams is acting funny. She's unusually snuggly and still, almost droopy. I did find mites, so I dusted her with DE. I offered her chick crumbles and scrambled egg, but she wouldn't touch either. Her crop is empty. No runny nose or discharge that I can find. The only...

It is a fenced area off the side of a storage barn. It will eventually be closed in but my building skills aren't much and I have to do it. I have some ideas but nothing I can afford right now, and I have no idea how to build it.

My chickens don't have a salable coop. They have a wooden fenced-in and covered area. Weather is predicting our first storm of the season and the first since I got chickens. Ideas on how to keep them safe?

Here's a picture of her foot.

This little one seems to be having trouble. I have brought "her" into the house for observation. She can perch on my finger, but seems to have difficulty walking, maybe due to how big her foot feathers are. She's amazingly content to sit in my lap and doesn't struggle at all to get away so...

I have Corid on hand, so I'll start that right away. Do you know if it loses effectiveness if it has been open awhile, like 6 months, but in a ziploc bag?

There's a button above the box that looks like mountains and a moon. That button will allow you to upload a photo.

Thank you for replying. I'm glad she made it. I'm so hoping I can save this sweet heart!

Awesome!

I love this idea!

My little one is about 6 weeks old. Her brooder mates are all healthy. Hatchmates are running about 260 grams while she is at 117 grams. She is very weak, but no other real symptoms. When I first found her, she couldn't hold her head up, and rested back on her rump unable to stand on her...

I've read the preparing for winter thread, but notice most people have coops. My girls free range. I have RIR's, whites, and EE's. In anticipation of this big cold front, we built a covered area and put their food and water in it to entice them in. They hate it. Now, the weather channel has...

She/he is nosey... Standing on the windowsill looking in. Silly chickie. It already cracks me up and acts different from the others.
