Hey everyone! I have a hen that went broody at about a year old. She hatched 1 chick, but then a day or 2 later it died. She kept sitting on the nest though, so I gave her some eggs that were in the bator. A week later, they hatched, but she was a bad mom to them! She would try to get away...

We just lost 1 of our hens (Chelsea). She was a 3 year old sex-link. Now our other hen is acting strange like her. Here are the symptoms that Chelsea had (over a period of 2-3 weeks)- 1st a little lethargic, and not eating (or laying). Then got worse. About 2-4 days later, started eating...

Hey Everyone! 1st of all, I wasn't sure where to post this, so sorry. My question is how cold is too cold for shipping eggs (or buying eggs that have to be shipped to you)? Our nighttime temps are still in the 30's (35, 37, etc.), but above freezing. Would you guys say that's still too cold...

Hi Everyone, My poor Chelsea isn't feeling well. She's a Gold Sex-link hen, and she isn't eating much or laying. I noticed it on Sunday. I've wormed her (she's been wormed seasonally too) and have been trying to give her some Dimethox (I figured it can't hurt). She's a little lethargic...

Hey Everyone! About eprinex treating lice/mite, I think you give the standard chickens 1/2 ml and bantams 1/4 ml. Is that right? And where do you put it on the bird? I read back of neck, but would putting the Eprinex on the back of their neck treat the mites on their fluffy butts? Also, is...

Hey everyone! I was wondering at what age should you stop breeding your goat? We have a 7 year old doe (will be 8 by the time she kids) and we're wondering if she's too old to safely breed? We really love this goat, so we don't want to loose her. Thanks!

All of our hens have stoped laying. They're all mature and some are molting, but we're getting 0 eggs from them! Think it could be Cocci? If it is, could I just feed them chick feed with amprolium (sp?) in it?? They show no other signs of any disease. They all seem plump and active. I...
