Hello all,
In the past 4 or 5 weeks I've had chickens start getting very swollen and red toes that cause them to limp pretty badly. I had no problems in the past with this. All the ones who have gotten this are about one year old and varying breeds. Salmon Favorolles, and Whiting True Blue to...
Awesome, thank you so much!! I'm going to be coming back to this a lot in the coming week. Thanks for taking the time to write it all down!! I have done a lot of research on this, but sometimes it's just nice to get real time advice from someone who recently had success with it! TY, TY <3
Hey there!
I'm going to be hatching out shipped Turkey eggs in about a week, and I would love to read anyhting you're willing to write about your thought process and actions when it came to the saddled eggs! I've hatched out Chicken eggs quite a few times, but never shipped ones. I really need...
What did it taste like? Is there any other way to explain it than tasting like styrofoam? Because I know sometimes these guys grab some out of the trash every once in awhile. Does it taste horrible and strong?
Had anyone here ever gotten odd tasting eggs? Almost moldy tasting ?
I have free ranging hens that eat layer pellet as well. The eggs we eat are never old, but every once in awhile I will get a really odd tasting one. I feel like it might be becoming more common which is super gross. I was...
So, this is what I have now. 1. Hatch Thermometer that says 105°F, 1. House thermometer that says 98.6°F and is going up still verrrry slowly, so I think it's about where it's going to be, and the incubator says 99.4°F. I think it's still adjusting to the other thermostat being in there. What do...
I need to know of I should trust a hatching thermometer or the actual incubator thermostat? I have a hatching thermometer in the bator that says it is about 5 degrees warmer than the actual incubator. I am in a bad spot since I already put the eggs in, I was told the incubator has to be right...
Hey Guys!
I'm looking for a little direction on my upcoming hatches. I bought a brand new Bator from Murray McMurray Hatchery this past week and I'm looking to start a batch of eggs this weekend.
I've already left it on all day yesterday and planning to leave it on today. I have a thermometer in...
It's sounds like you're going to have a beautiful flock! How fun to have so many kinds.
It really is the best when they come talk to you or just hang out with you around the yard. The eggs are just the icing on the cake ;)
They're such little joys to have around!
Thanks for sharing about your...
I looked at the pictures, around the vent, head, and neck seem normal to me, the odd thing is it looks like she's missing feathers under her wing and on her breast? I don't really see how they're get to her breast unless she was on a perch maybe and they were beneath her.
She looks pretty...
Hey there! 😊
Do you put them all away when it's still light out? Are they in the pen in the morning for a couple hours after sunrise?
It's good to avoid keeping them confined together when it's light out, they get restless and will pick on each other.
I have had a few that pecked necks and...
