Hello again, is it possible for you to say something about these eggs?

Hello, I am going to hatch some eggs this spring, and would like to get more olive eggers. I have 3 Silverudds Blue and 5 British/English Araucana. The rooster is a Black Copper Marans. What hatching eggs should I choose to get the darkest olive colour? I am also going to hatch other eggs for...

Yes, that’s why I wanted to hatch some more as soon as possible :)

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊 Yes, I have four cayugas that live together - two male and two female.. I have not seen a lot of mating lately, maybe it is too early? The weather outside the last week has been good, it’s getting warmer, the snow has almost dissappeared, and they are staying outside all day. Thought...

Hey guys! I have checked if some of my chicken and duck eggs are fertilized. I think it is very hard to tell.. I have 26 chickens and 1 rooster. I also have 2 female cayuga ducks and 2 male ducks. Could you help me? Are these eggs fertilized? I think this one is fertilized? Not sure...

More often in the news, you can hear about apparently healthy people dying from fungal infections because the fungus is resistant to all the medication. Resistance is created by excessive, unnecessary or incorrect dosing of medication. When you give your chichens medicines such as monistat or...

Interesting! I guess there are some kind of correlation - not for every chicken but maybe some of them are more prone to getting it than others? 🤔

My chicken had Clostridium Perfringens! Sent the poop to the veterinary institute and they checked for bacteria. She started to get better after one week, gave her lots of yoghurt (good bacteria). After she recovered I received the results, and all of my chickens got Amoxicyllin(?) some kind of...

Thanks guys 😊 She is completely normal now. When we first tried to help her we thought she had an egg stuck, so we gave her olive oil in her cloaca. We soon discovered it was not that, but I think the olive oil made her feathers lose their waterproof abilities? Now every time she tried to wash...

Wow, I gave her lots of liquid charcoal, and she started to act more and more normal, now she is out with the others! 😊

Duck suddenly vomited up three slugs and had runny white poop. She laid down with her feet behind and tried to press a lot! She did press so much that her intestins almost came out, but they didn’t. I put her in a big tub of water and now she seems a bit better. But her feet are straight behind...

Thank you! I will try that. I also have some cabbage, is that something I can use the same way?

Thank you so much. Do you know why the blood clot is there? Is it because of the liver suddenly rupturing? Or is it a build-up over time?

Thanks for your reply :) I am sorry too - I hate that I "killed" them by giving them too much food. It`s hard when you have chickens that eat A LOT and chickens that eats small amounts living together :( Is there anything I can feed them instead to make them lose weight? I feel like if they...

Dear all, today I lost one of my maran chickens. She was almost 1,5 years old. She was completely normal yesterday, bright red comb, laid an egg and was doing normal chicken stuff. Today she was barely moving, heavy breathing, pale comb, sleepy. I moved her to her own cage, and a few hours later...

Hello! Found my male duck today with what seems to be the penis hanging out. Am I correct? I think the penis looks «dead»? Or is this something else? Is there anything I can do to help him? Please help, I’m pretty new to keeping ducks.

Hi! This is the THIRD time THIS YEAR I am experiencing slow crop in molting chickens. The poop consists of 95% clear water and 5% green/turquoise strings of food/slime. I am concerned that they will loose a lot of weight and become sick. It is like the crop is barely functioning. When they eat...

Hi! I have both ducks and chickens. I am new to ducks and have only had them for 7 weeks. I am noticing that when chickens eat grass the take small pieces, but when ducks eat grass/plants/moss and so on, they swallow BIG pieces, whole plants and so on. I know that chickens can get impacted crop...

Hello! I have been giving my chickens lactose free yoghurt (probiotics) to help them recover after antibiotics. Then I read that lactose free food contains something called galactose, which is toxic to chickens? I have never heard this before. Does any of you have any information about this? I...
