Does anyone know if there is a way to sex silkies at 7 weeks old? I got some, straight run, and am trying to figure out what they are. I can't post pictures at the moment, but once I can I will.
Hi all! This year we have decided we want to try our hand in incubating our own eggs. We don't have a HUGE budget for an incubator, so I am looking for something that is on the cheaper side but still good. Any ideas?
How many people here play cityville? I need more neighbors to be able to expand my franchise, and only a few of my friends play. Let me know if you play and I'll add you!
My baby has just started laying, and I think she is egg bound. I can feel the egg between her legs, shes walking funny, just not acting right. I gave her the 30 minute sitz bath, then warmed her under the heat lamp. I put her in a brooder with towels and a heating pad under them. I just...
Hi all. I wanted to stop by and report that Red seems to be doing better. I've kept the wound covered, and now it seems to have a "scab" or skin regrowth. It is almost closed up. It really doesn't look all that great, but I'm not sure how it is really supposed to look. Shes being a little...
Well, it's morning and she is still alive. I put some food and water in with her last night, and she was eating a little of the food when I looked in after her this morning. Currently she is sitting in the brooder (it's all I have lol) inside with the lamp on her. I plan on keeping her inside...
Ok, I have the wound all cleaned up, I cleaned it with peroxide and povadine, then put an antibiotic ointment on it. I covered it with gauze and wrapped it. I'm going to keep her in a crate in the house tonight and see how she does. She's had a little egg, and I got her to drink a little...
I found some antibiotic Omnicef that is for people. Can I give this to her until I can get to get her some chicken antibiotics tomorrow? The strength is 5mL/250mg. Any idea how much I can give her?
And honestly, I don't know how this wound is going to heal itself? It is spread apart from...
My mastiff got through our chicken fence and got one of my RIR's. As I got there, Red was still alive and still is. I have brought her in and have her with some egg and water. She won't eat or drink for the moment. She is just panting. I looked over her to see the damage, and there is a...
3 eggs out of 4 that are laying...I'm not sure if 4 is laying yet, but shes been in the nest box, squatting, and I *think* she laid an egg last week. Tonight she has been acting strange, so I put her in the box. I'll check in a little bit!
My 22 week old ISA "Ken" (barbie had to have a ken!) laid her first egg tonight. It is really soft and squishy and the whites are running out of the top where there is nothing around it. Is this what they mean by shell-less? Also, will her next eggs be the same, or should they get better...
2/2 again! These are from my BCM's. Is this normal? I was under the impression they didn't lay this often. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I don't want to worry if production suddenly drops!
