Ok, thanks! I'll check that.

Thank you for taking the time to explain in such detail! VERY helpful information. I have noticed the Easter eggers lose just a few feathers at a time during molting season, as you said. It almost seems that they don't molt at all, it's so slow! I agree that chickens should have a break during...

That's very helpful info. Thank you! How long do you think molt usually takes? I have heard varied opinions on it and really don't know what to expect.

Ok, thank you! I have a source for Non-Gmo grower feed, so I think I'll try that through the Winter at least.

I could be the winter. Thanks!

None of them have artificial light and they get their feed from the same place we do. I've never thought about using grower for extra protein! I'll have to see if that will help at all. Do you just feed that during the winter and then go back to regular for the rest of the year?

Hello! We have about 25, 1 1/2 year old chickens (Easter Eggers and Sexlinks) that have laid pretty well this year, but after molting (about 2 months ago) they haven't laid a single egg. I don't think it's a feed issue because they are in a moveable coop and electric fence and getting plenty of...

We entered the pictures in Contest #3 Cutest baby Fowl Sponsored by Omlet.

I thought I did... is it not showing up?

These are 2 of my favorite chick pictures ever!! Just had to enter them in the photo contest!

Thank you for the help from everybody. Just a few minutes ago he died.I am thinking possibly an organ failure as it happened so fast. His comb turned a dark purple right at the end.

I have moved him into our greenhouse so he is away from the others. He seems much worse now, as he is laying down in a corner shaking, wings out, beak open and face down in the ground. I don't know what to do though! I will look into the layer feed thing. I gave him yogurt with pro-biotics...

Thank you for posting! I haven't recently changed anything for the flock. They do free range to a degree as I have them inside an electric fence that is portable, so I move them onto fresh ground when they need it. We have 25 chickens in all and I feed them non-gmo layer pellets and all of our...

Hello! I have a 3 year old Rooster that started shaking/trembling this morning. He was fine as far as I noticed before he ate, but about 15 minutes later we found him standing next to the coop, body trembling, especially his legs. After holding him for a little bit, he pretty much stopped...

You will just have to wait and see.

I would just leave it as there is really nothing you can do at this point. Good night!

Sorry it took me so long to respond. It is hard to tell how old the egg is from the direction it's being candled. Did you candle it from the air sack side? If so try flipping it to the other side and posting a picture of it. I might be able to see more of a shape unless the duck is ready to...

No, I don't dry them off as it can take the protective coat off of the egg. They will dry on there own in the incubator. Hope this helps!
