I just recently bought myself a male St. Bernard and he just turned 1. I have 3 other dogs, which did have a chicken killing spree a few years ago, but now have learnt that they are not food. I was hoping that my eldest well mannered dog would teach my new dog how he should be, but I guess she...

I’ll keep that in mind for my next incubations.

So I’m incubating Turkey eggs for the second time. I put 24 eggs in 10 days ago and took 4 out on day 7, as they were not fertile, but all the other eggs had veins yet I couldn’t see and movement inside the egg. I did some research and read that I should check the eggs at a later date. So today...

I would say my Cochin. She’s always seeking my attention and wants to be where I am all the time. She does not squawk when I pick her up like my other hens do. I’ve only had one Cochin hen and one Cochin rooster but my experience with both was much better than the experience I’ve had with some...

The next time I am able to go to town I will buy feed. What do you all suggest?

Would that also be the reason my hens don’t give me eggs? They do get calcium on the side.

Yes

No I don’t. We combined oats this year and my dad said that’s what we would be using for chicken feed so they only had chick starter for about the first 4 weeks. The chicks try to eat the snow on my boots, and while I’m walking through the coop they get under my feet some times, but I’ve never...

Yes she did poop. And its not runny. She’s been drinking and has been eating the oats I’ve been giving her. I can’t feel anything in her crop, but she also hadn’t eaten for a while. I didn’t notice anything, but could I have stepped on her feet? Or would that not cause this? Yesterday morning...

There are 2 roosters in the flock but they are both older than her. The money situation here isn’t the best, so I’ve never dewormed my chickens.

I have had many birds that I’ve doctored over the years that I’ve put the time an patients into, and I don’t mind. But I don’t think she’s able to poop, she’s been trying and it’s not working. Is there any I could give her for that? And do you mean b-complex for humans?

She does have a few scabs on her feet and when I went to go look at her she was pecking at her feet.

My birds mean the world to me! So how do I go about this? If your sure she has mareks I will be asking my dad to put her down, but not sure if I would be able to get her tested though.

I had a broody hen hatch 10 chicks about 10 weeks ago. Yesterday I found one of the chicks sitting in the corner and it’s feathers were all puffed up and it couldn’t walk. I left it in the coop, thinking it might be dead the next morning, but when I went to the coop in the morning it was sitting...

Hello, sorry I didn’t see this till now🙂 I’m not quite sure. But my dogs kept chasing it away so none of my chickens ended up as it’s dinner😊

I am using a styrofoam incubator, so I’m dry incubating. It’s around 48%

It’s almost day 25 for my duck and turkey eggs. They are in the same incubator at the moment, but will be putting them in separate incubators for lockdown. Do they need different humidity’s for lockdown? Do you drop the temp a little or keep it at 99.5 Fahrenheit? I’m new to this all and thought...
