    Eggtopsy: What happened to my egg? {Graphic Pictures}

    Honestly, I couldn't see much. I waited and thought I saw life and was all excited, but at Day 11, it was obviously not growing/moving, and I was quite sure they had passed, so I opened them up. I cracked them in half to open them and it was a mess of a yolk that poured out. Some blood ring...

    Eggtopsy: What happened to my egg? {Graphic Pictures}

    Here are a couple of shipped Maran eggs. Their air cells were completely mangled and these died early on. When I cracked the egg in half - I found the embryos stuck to the bottom of the air cells. Any idea what this means? These eggs were shipped to me and then I let them sit in a cool room...

    Mealworm farming

    Hi everyone! I'm looking to see if anyone has come up with a good way to manage the sorting. I had a very successful mealworm farm several years ago, but I remember it taking so long to sort them all. I'm OCD, so it was pretty bad. I sorted with chopsticks lol I see that some people now do...

    Help - Game Hen lethargic, ataxic, ADR

    I rescued a Game Hen 4 months ago from a dog attack and she seemed to have completely healed from those wounds. But last week I noticed that she was no longer going into the coop at night. Before this, she was the top bird. I checked her over but saw no signs of sickness - so I just kept an...

    New Coop is Done! UPDATE: Extension Run Added!!

    lol - his name is Cody and while he may keep predators out...if the chickens got out, he would LOVE to eat them. Andy says I can't blame him, after all, he IS a BIRD dog. But I think he should know the difference between birds for hunting and our own pet birds. He's beginning to figure out...

    New Coop is Done! UPDATE: Extension Run Added!!

    Thank you everyone!! LOL - I thought we were SLOW to get this built. It hasn't been the top priority and we can only work on it on the weekends and it's been months!!! It's been really cold out lately - night time falling to 37 degrees. I think that's FREEZING. I was worried about the...

    Australorps from Cammy!! Hatch Complete! PICS!

    The little one that hatched has curled toes on the right foot. Here's a picture of the healthy one with the little runt and you can see her curled toes. I put a bandaid on it and hopefully that will straighten out. She's doing so much better. I really didn't think she would make it, but...

    Australorps from Cammy!! Hatch Complete! PICS!

    Quote: 1 of them - I opened up the top and found that it had pipped into the air cell, but not out of the egg...it was gasping when I opened up the top of the egg. I then opened it up a little more - just at the top to see what was going on and to make sure she had plenty of air and wasn't...

    Australorps from Cammy!! Hatch Complete! PICS!

    Cammy - I'm no expert at silkie feet, so here are picts for you to judge yourself. It looks like the 1st one has better separation than the second one and they both have really good feathering. They are sooo fuzzy and adorable! Mahonri - Thank you! Chris - I'll leave the passing of...

    I had purchased 20 Australorp and 4 Silkie eggs from Cammy and now have 12 healthy lil babies. There are 2 more that are trying to make it...but haven't completely hatched yet - I don't have much hope for them as the weak/late hatchers never seem to do very well... 7 were scrambled in...

    Please Advise! What to do about a dried out chick post hatch?

    Yeah, I've had to do that before - just give a very gentle wash in very warm water, dry off as much as you can - then put in bator to dry the rest of the way
