    Help please! 2day old chick can’t stay balanced

    Try an infant (human) vitamin (available in the baby section at Walmart) called Poly Vi Sol **WITHOUT** iron (that part is very important!). Put a couple drops... not a droppers full- just a drip or two in one boiled egg yolk. Smash it up and feed it to her as often as she’ll eat it. She (he I...

    Need to rehome female Easter egger less then 2 years old

    I agree! In fact, I ended up with someone’s “problem chicken” once before, and she happened to become one of my favorites. I was very attached to her! Sometimes they just don’t fit in with a certain flock, and just do better somewhere else... whether they’re the bully or the bullied! I’ve got a...

    Would you like to help settle this?

    Wow Jed! That’s excellent information I’ll likely use in the future! Thanks so much for taking the time to teach me something new! I’m always surprised at how much my fellow chicken aficionados here know.. and how willing you all are to share that wealth of knowledge! Thanks again!

    What kind of hen?

    Perhaps the neighbor has a chick you can borrow for her, and then you can send them both home once she thinks she’s all finished up? Sweet little chicken. She came to your place to sit on her eggs because it sounds a lot more quiet over there! (I’d be very wary of the cats tho- you know the...

    4h coming soon

    My advice: RUN! Run fast.. while you still can! Lol! They have a way of working themselves into your heart, becoming something of an obsession, and the next thing you know, you’ve got WAY more chickens than you ever intended, you’re hanging out on chicken sites in your spare time, and you’re...

    Rooster?

    Haha! Duped, all right! That’s a roo/cockerel if I’ve ever seen one! Never heard of a crowing hen! Funny post! *(Males are called cockerels until they’re over a year old- and females are called pullets. Then they switch to roosters and hens.)

    Oh!!! HAHAHA! You had me VERY confused for a minute there!! You’re talking about the Maillard reaction! I gotcha now! On a different post, balut (duckling embryos that some cultures eat as a delicacy) came up- so that’s where my mind leapt— food! Funny! If anyone else following this thread is...

    Omg! How CUTE is he! No need to be jealous of me- the bird in question isn’t mine.. but I’d love to have a couple! (That’s how the whole debate on what breed it is began- I’d like to find some.) Are they hard to come by? I think the one in my pics just came from a local feed store a few years...

    I didn’t know anyone boiled bagels in ammonia- but who do you mean? Wouldn’t that make them inedible? Yikes! Or, do they make them inedible intentionally? What’s the point of that? (I’m thinking this comment must belong over on the “balut” thread?)

    How do you tell a “crele” from “silver duck wing”?

    My Bantam Is Laying Eggs

    Disgusting huh? Bill, feet and all! (Usually it’s duck embryo’s- not chickens.) Our old neighbors made them DIY at home. He lost a couple and hit them with the shovel later planting flowers and you can smell them 100 yards away. Plech! NOT appetizing AT ALL! We had heard about them before...

    My Bantam Is Laying Eggs

    How fun for you guys! Kinda happened like that for our youngest daughter. She was too young to remember our chickens before we moved out of the house with property and into a subdivision. When we sold that house and got back out where we could have chickens again, they were all new to her...

    Wow thanks everyone! I appreciate all the answers! The good news is that no one was 100% correct, so there can’t be any over the top bragging- lol! Alexandra33- what are their personalities like, if you don’t mind??

    Would you like to help settle this?

    One says she’s a Sebright. The other says she’s a Silver Duck Wing Bantam, and one more says she’s an OEB (Old English Bantam). What do you, the pro’s think? (Not the best pics for identifying a breed, but they’re the only ones I can get.) Thanks!

    Is Birdy a rooster or a hen?

    Oh for Pete’s sake!! I’m malfunctioning over here! Ugh! Anyway, as I was saying (before I had my little brain fart and posted half of a comment) here is how you tell, for future reference- (copied and pasted from a post I commented on yesterday). * And I would get rid of the rooster too! Imo...

    Is Birdy a rooster or a hen?

    Imo, she’s a beautiful pullet! Here’s some info I gave to another poster yesterday about how to tell:

    Egg bound hen? Has laid just yolk!

    You’re welcome... but I wish there was more to suggest. I think really the only option would be to take her to the vet so they can clean her out- (they also suggest x-rays to make sure they got all the shell) so that it doesn’t become septic (unless you feel confident to DIY, and if she’d...

    Egg bound hen? Has laid just yolk!

    Here’s a link to a thread on egg peritonitis, which is the scariest part of them getting egg bound. It might help give you some ideas. I think any of it that comes out is a good thing.. but I also think you’re supposed to try to get the shell out- (assuming there is a shell, and it wasn’t a...
