My chicks were all hatched from clean eggs in incubators in my house then moved to brooders in our garage with no contact with other birds or the outdoors, so I think coccidosis would be unlikely. In Canada I dont think we have access to corid as the govt has regulated veterinary mediactions...

We kept them under heat longer than out other chicks but they have been off heat for about 2 weeks now and we have been having unseasonably warm weather. All the EEs went out of brooder at 6 weeks and had zero issues. All were hatched and raised together with same conditions and all EEs did...

Yes it's had poul-vit added to water and ACV intermittently it is 10 weeks old now so off heating source

I got 2 dozen hatching eggs from a breeder. 18 were chocolate laced orpingtons and the other 6 were Easter Eggers. We had just had a cold snap a week before and her fertility had dropped with her previous batch before mine. Out of the 18 orps, 8 were non starters and only 3 ended up hatching...

Any idea what in the heck colour they are? I'm struggling to figure it out. Blue barred? I have been hatching out either lavender or isabel chicks as well as black/black barred. I have a few roosters and haven't split my pen yet, so all of the lavender could just be isabel. These are new...

Isabel hen upper left isabel roo lower middle and lavender(?) cuckoo lower right.

I bought eggs listed as lavender cuckoo and isabel orpingtons last year. I'm wondering if that's what the hens are. They just seem so dark in comparison to the roo and the breeder, who supposedly had stock from reputable breeders seemed less than reputable herself (as I found out later)

What is a blood spit? I feed them high pro feed. Never had an issue. In our community we have only hi-pro or co-op brand feed.

Yes I will definitely take pictures and look at it further if it does happen again. Hopefully I won't have to though!

I really don't think it was just a meat spot as this was quite big, probably the diameter the size of a quarter and 1cm thick and had more definition and texture to it than just blood. The egg itself was full of blood when I cracked it, but the blob was something else entirely.

I wish I had take a picture, but I was so grossed out I threw it away immediately. I collect my eggs daily and cracked one open this morning only to find it very bloody and a red blob that may have been a 4-6 day old embryo inside. There is no way it sat outside for more than a day and would...

I just had some ducklings hatch and 2 out of the 6 have these little yellow patches under their beak, but no where else. We do have a cayuga and a welsh harlequin drake, however the cayuga never allows the WH to breed the ladies from what we have seen and before we got the cayugas we never had...

I added a 5 month old rooster with the same method I mentioned above your post. No issues at all.

I have successfully added 3 groups or 2-3 birds this way. We put the new birds in an extra large dog crate and house them in it for 2 days in one of the corners of the pen. This way everyone can squawk, peck, etc... but no one gets hurt. On the third day we open it up early while everyone is...

Anyone have a guess as to what kind of pig/ cross this may be?

"Well Cluckrese, have the Lambs stopped screaming?" "I dont care if they scream all night if it means they aren't coming after us! Now let me get back to sleep." (Had to do a play on Hannibal/Silence of the Lambs)

The good news is that the pullet perked up again within around 24 hours of the vitamins, so thankfully it doesn't seem to be anything infectious. Question now is why does this one seem to have an issue with its nutrients. Does the deficiency show faster because of its size or does it have some...

I'm really hoping it isn't Mareks! Thanks for the link eggsissive. I'm thinking/hoping it is due to a vitamin deficiency since last time the vitamins fixed her up. Hopefully they do again! I may need to change my feed. Unfortunately in our area we only have 2 choices of feed stores and each...

I have a 5 or 6 month old Pullet that had a sudden onset of 1 leg paralysis. When we first got her home about 2 months ago she had a silimar incident where she appeared very weak and unsteady. I was concerned about Mereks,but I gave her some supplemental vitamins and she perked up. The only...
