    Help with egg viability and when to toss

    Exactly! Ordered the new incubator yesterday already! Pretty excited to get a good one, I really hope these eggs arent screwed though. But nothing can be done about it now, until the new one comes.

    Help with egg viability and when to toss

    I did toss all the clear ones. Its just so hard to see through some of them, I wasn't sure if the shadow caused by the yolk was something developing but way behind vs not. The one I took a picture of was one of the few easy ones to see through. But i cracked them all open and they were...

    Waterer for button quail

    I was using the vertical nipple waters but it kept leaking out, and this last time after filling it something must have gotten stuck open because it drained the whole thing in their new bedding over night. Their cage was a lake. So I’m trying to teach them to use the horizontal nipple water I...

    What breed is this bantam?

    This is kind of an old thread. But my bantam RIR's were total sweety pies. They were my show birds so they were pretty tame and handled a lot, but I never had an issue from the beginning. The standard production RIR from farm stores that we've gotten in the past can have real bad attitudes...

    Help! Hen hatched chicks in hot weather and leaving for vacation!

    So I have a compounded crap storm of a problem that I'm trying to figure out. My chicken has hatched her chicks in the chicken house yesterday. However, it's been really hot out and will be so for the next couple of weeks (90-95 during the day and 60s at night). Currently, I combined two nest...

    How to treat coryza (or something like it) in quail???

    Question: Why is Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) being called coryza? Are they not two different things? So far coryza seems to be a bacterial infection in chickens, while MG is a mycoplasma in many species? I ask this because I am trying to do more research on this for keeping quail, but things...

    Why Can't You Put Quail and Chickens Together

    I'm working on doing my homework, but am looking into getting into quails. This appears to be similar to the debate on whether peacocks or turkeys can be with chickens, am I right? Chickens carry diseases that can affect other birds (i.e. coryza for quail). But this is the main concern...

    Chicken with a cold leg

    I'm not familiar enough with Mareks to help you there, but a cold leg sounds like its not getting proper blood circulation? Is there any swellings or color change or any differences between the two legs otherwise? Like if something could be broke? Unfortunately, Im not a whole lot of help at the...

    Devastated... Lost 7 of 13 chicks last night.

    Like others have said, don't beat yourself up over it; It's happened to the best of us. Heck one year it happened twice to me with my show chickens. We used to move my chicks into a big tank brooder in the garage when they out grew their tote inside and usually I wire grates over the top but I...

    Prevention of COCCIDIOSIS and other poultry diseases in chicks~ ACV.

    I really want to start giving my chickens ACV but I only have pasteurized and can't get unpasteurized very easily. Does pasteurized still have at least some benefits? I was also wondering if its possible to get good bacteria growing back in it and turn it into unpasteurized? Has anyone tried...

    MItes and Permethrin Powder

    I used the sevin 5% dust then when I could get food grade Diatomaceous Earth (fossil shell flour) later that day, I used that. I have about the same situation. I had noticed one of my 6 month old chicks wasn't eating or drinking and would only sleep 3 days ago. When I checked for bugs the first...
