Hi all;
So today is a very sad day for me. Yesterday I went out to check on my guinea hen and her nest and found that something had getten her. In addition they destroyed all the eggs in the nest as well. Now I have no guinea hen. The boys are just beside themselves and are wandering...
Hi All;
Its been a really long time since I have been around. Went on vacation for a week and it looks like I am going to move to the Spokane area or the Couere D Alene area. Its beautiful and much warmer than the Kitsap Peninsula :-) Also just got my three new showgirl chicks. They are...

You are not alone and yes you can post this here. First, I had the same problem that you have. I got two blue Marans that seem to have many of the same symptoms you have. Both ended up with eyes that closed and one has actually lost one of her eyes. They were puffy and tended to...

There is alot of people (civilians ! ) that cannot tell the difference between the two breeds.
Actually most people, even people who have chickens, do not know what a CM is, or a BCM either.
Putting the birds side-by-side you can see the difference.
My 2 week old CM chicks are young...

Curious as to what kind of worms you had ?
I was cleaning out the poop tray behind the roost, and I saw what looked like the kind of worms that puppies have. They were long and real thin and round. I don't remember the exact timeline on the...

Do you know where I can get Wazine 17? I called the local feedstore but they only carry the piperazine. Is that ok? How do you then dose the Ivermectin? THanks
Hi all;
I think one of my gals has worms. Well I know she does, that makes me think I have others with it as well. What should I use to treat them? And if I treat for worms do I also stop eating eggs from them for up tp a week after we stop treatment? THanks
Hi all. I need some advice. The peep was born last night at about 7pm. I left her in the incubator overnight. THis morning she is still not standing on her own but is moving around the incubator. She is also not fluffy she appears still wet but isn't. Is this normal? SHould I leave her in...
SParklerose I am so sorry to hear about your babies. Its amazing how attatched to them we get. Hope you feel better soon.
Ok so right now I am really in a little shock! My son came running in and said the incubator smelled funny. I figured that since it is day 26 for the eggs it is...
Ok So mama abandoned the remainder of the eggs today. I felt so sorry for the lone chick that I just had to go to the feedstore and purchase three day old chicks so that the baby would not be alone :-) I bought two blue cochins and a black cochin. Mama took to them very quickly and now they...
Thank You. IT is a little giant still air. There is no fan. But on the incubator is a large yellow sticker that says the temp should be 99.5. I am going to turn it up. I also candled the eggs since I took them from their mom. I am not sure which are good and which arent. 1 guinea egg is...
