    Are there any chicken diseases/viruses that can make humans sick

    Is there anything a chicken can get that would make a person or small child sick, or can it be passed in their eggs (that we eat)? We had a chicken that got sick with a mystery disease...it almost looked like it got a film over one of its eyes (which then bulged and looked like he went blind in...

    Brinsea Mini Advance Incubator

    For the mini, I did NOT find that the 12 ring worked for Bantam eggs. I actually put in over 12 eggs and resorted to hand turning them. Most of them hatched (I think 2 did not).

    No, I did not try moisening the crumbles:(...but am going to run downstairs right now and give it a try!!! (Anything - I am already attached to them and slowly giving them names...)we ultimately will only keep three of them because I do not have enough space, but we know a very nice family that...

    Help! Some of my new hatch is not eating or drinking and getting weak

    I was up till two AM trying to get them to "pick up", we did loose one (but he was our stange legged one, so I think that his chances were not great), two more seem to be OK...but Lucky (the tiniest one) is still fighting everything. The stress is killing me. I will also try with the running...

    Help! Some of my new hatch is not eating or drinking and getting weak

    I just do not know what to do, about three of our Bantams are not "getting it". And I can see they are getting weaker..they won't go take a drink or peck at the food (I have been finger tapping at both). One in fact keeps trying to eat from the beaks of others (which of course means it gets...

    Brinsea Mini Advance Incubator

    I just hatched our very first eggs out of the mini advance (and we are first time hatchers). I ordered the extra tray and can say that it was not helpful...we wound up taking it out and actually shoving as many egss as we could in the little thing because we received so many extra. It hatched...

    My chicks are just hatching --do they eat feed right away?

    We bought them some saline water mix stuff from the feed store and medicated chick feed...once they are all out of their eggs, and dry, is that what they start eating right away? (the last time we had checks we bought them at least 2 -4weeks old) Thank you!I just want to make sure we did not...

    Who's setting eggs today (St. Pattys Day) ?? ??

    Ugh ....this whole thing with Lucky is very stressful....I would like for him to STAY Lucky! I'll keep everyone posted, but I think he will be sitting in the R-COM incubator (from Meyers) and I do not see in the manual if the humidity levels raise themselves for these last two days...maybe we...

    One egg in incubator is two days behind in develp than other chicks!

    So you think even with the humidity spiking in the incubator he should be OK? And then i should reset the bator for another two days just for him after my other chicks hatch? (so worried about one egg!)
