Hey! Thanks :) now San Andreas.. less bears lol

Hi all :) Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I had a weird thing happen, one of my 25 hens is laying a pearly white yolk. Over the years I've supplemented marigold, turmeric, or herbs to give them deep orange yolks.. they've been eating Naturwise Layer for twoish years now, with frequent trips...

Hey all!! I've been lurking for a couple years, sorry for disappearing XD I'm graduating nursing school next month!! I can't wait to have free time again, and I have sooo many plans to renovate the coop and livestock yard :)) I've moved and added some new critters to the feathered and fur...

Hi all! I'm new to the silkie world... I'm guessing the frizzle splash (is that the right color?) is a cockerel? And the buff (or is this porcelain??) is a pullet? They are about 4 months old. I know time will tell.... just wondering if anybody might know sooner :)

The "water plate" was warmed by the brooder... when I checked in this morning, they gave me a heart attack, I thought they were dead! Everybody is fine, just hanging out :gig

Ok so, I came out to check on them about two hours ago (3pm for me)... both moms came out to the main coop and were sitting by the big waterer :eek: the chicks were going back and forth between the moms, the other roosters and hens don't seem to care. I moved the small feeder and waterer near...

Quick update, I just got home from work, decided the moms/babies would at least be safer enclosed. They still haven't moved, but I got to see one little yellow one! The other chickens can see them but can't get in, and they've got food n water... will check again tonight :) as you can see in the...

Hi all! I've been incubating eggs for years now... the last time I let a hen hatch eggs, the chicks were extremely skittish (to the point of being untameable), so I bought an incubator for better handling results. Then a month ago, two of my hens starting sitting in a location I couldn't reach...

Thank you so much for this information. If I lose another, I'll send it for a necropsy. Really sucks that respiratory disease never leaves a flock... what a bummer. I'm still keeping a close eye out for mite activity, my pullet that passed did have Premoxil in her water, was hoping to prevent...

Hi all :) I've had this slow spreading disease in my flock since I brought some girls home in September, I'll try to keep the story short. I've been keeping chickens a number of years now, never had a pest or disease problem... I also don't usually buy hens elsewhere, sorta have a hatching...

Right ?? XD so funny. Ya he balances pretty well !! Apparently the hens don't mind a wobble 😂

Backyard chicken vet! Pay me with more chickens :p

Hey Osatucker :) I sent you a pretty lengthy pm, but I forgot to ask for pics. Would you be able to show us the fracture?

He's doing great! Has his own harem, he's king roo at my mother's place. A few months ago one of his chicks hatched without one wing, missing from the elbow joint down, just like him. It was so strange, I think just a birth defect but how ironic ! He still walks like a model, puts one foot right...

Hey aart, I am :) Took a new job and now I'm in nursing school, still have chickens but life got really busy xD

Actually, after doing some research, I'm wondering if she might be a Barnevelder mix? She's always been bigger than my other chicks/pullets, and she came out of a large dark brown egg. Her feet are sort of a grayish color, which makes me think she's a mix. Single red comb, still small, and her...

Hm, thank you! I'll definitely keep updating. She's so sweet, I'm thinking of getting more jerseys, but its a little late in the year... I'm addicted to hatching eggs, is it ever too late to have chicks? :p I also can't decide if I want eggs from my neighbor again, kind of depends on how she...
