Agree - the larger eggs also look like Ascarids (roundworms) - well done BTW!!

These look more like ascarids to me. (Roundworms)

Economic threshold isn't going to be a definitive number. For each animal that will be different - basically at what point does production decrease? Broody hens and other animals under stress will have a lower threshold. In a normal environment 20% of your animals will have 80% of your...

The mag seems high from your earlier description (the egg size you described is bigger than I would expect). A swinging bucket would be awesome but most of us use a fixed rotor. Don't fill the tube all the way (you will make a mess) just barely under the top then proceed with the directions...

Above picture - not an egg. I'll have to refresh my microbiology on calculating size of object based on magnification in order to answer your question about size. Suggestion #1 - don't float so long - try 10 min that will prevent some of the crystallization also increased ambient humidity will...

First picture looks more like a strongyle type egg if it is an egg - the magnification that you mentioned makes theses eggs small compared to strongyles type - the 2nd picture looks like an ascarid more than any coccidia but again - the magnification is throwing me off - you can usually see most...

H&E stain is much easier to do than gram staining shouldn't be that expensive for the kit and you can still see bacteria, yeast and WBC etc

Pick me! Pick me! I would love some dark egg layers like marans or some super blue egg layers. Any funky colored egg layer would be awesome - no bantams please.

Thank you!! Learn something new every day!

Wouldn't that make them not truly a Leghorn?

Forgive my ignorance but what is "RC"?

I'm looking for some white rocks if anyone on the train has any chicks or hatching eggs. Will also take a nice rooster. I'm in TN.

Would love some white Plymouth rocks if you know anybody on the train that has nice ones. Need a new rooster especially.

Welcome!! I breed Plymouth rocks and just started another batch in the bator yesterday. I live in Tullahoma. I have some older birds I would part with - send me a PM if you are interested.

Yes - Jill Johnson was who I spoke with. She is always very helpful. Right now I have an assortment but Breed Plymouth Rocks. I have some leghorns, cream Legbars, isbars, bielefelder, blue rocks and white rocks.

Just talked with my area vet and she said that you could call your area vet if you had a sick bird and they will come and get it to take for testing for Mareks or AI. They prefer live birds because they can get blood and other fresh samples but they will also take your dead birds for necropsy as...

Pick me! Pick me! Have my first batch in the incubator now!! I would love some marans of any color or some welsummers - but so many to choose from! I'll have to call and order some before the special runs out!
