Hello, I am wondering what the laws are for selling hatching eggs/breeding chickens in lake county. Specifically for AR zones and zones that fall under 10.01.06 Backyard Chicken laws. Do you need a limited poultry permit for either of these types of zones? I also do not see anything for selling...

Hello, I am looking for a home around NC for an easter egger pullet named Honey and a Blue Sapphire Gem cockerel named Bluey. Both are raised to be friendly with people and originally day olds I got from tractor supply. The reason I can not keep them is because I’m a student going back to...

My chicken started laying yesterday and finally was able to rest once the egg came out. The next morning she started sounding in pain again. Is there a way for me to help her?

The egg looked like this two days ago: Compared to all my other eggs, it looked very behind. Is it normal for it to suddenly catch up in two days? There’s a pip now but in the center. I’m worried about another egg exploding.

I learned the hard way the next morning. Just wanted to get this out here so you can learn from my mistake. I had also candled it about a week before. At that time, it looked very behind in development. 7 days later when I candled it again, the egg had gone completely dark which was a big red...

Exactly what the title says, hatch day is in 2 days

I’m using a brand new kebonnixs incubator I just bought and while I set it by hand to have one more day than the pre-set amount of days (because I ran it without eggs for 24 hours as a test) it’s still acting as if I didn’t add a day and saying there’s 3 days left. But when I go to change it...

Was candling an egg and when I turned it upright to do so it felt like an oddly shaped weight dropped to the bottom. However the egg looks as clear as day 1. It’s day 4. Can someone explain this? Picture attached.

Hello, this is my first time doing this on my own and was just wondering how these day 4 eggs look? First half are unknown mixed breeds and second half are Ayam Cemanis. Thank you for your guidance. Important note, the last two AC eggs were cracked when I got them (one internal and one external)...

In NC can someone qualify for a chick dealing license on residential land or does it have to be commercial?

I am hoping to be able to hatch and sell chicks over the summer but do I need to be NPIP certified for this? I am new at the selling part and still figuring out all the laws.

I’m going to be hatching and selling chicks over the summer and just wanted to get an idea of my area. Hope this is the right forum for this.

I am new - hoping to hatch and sell chicks for the first time over the summer, but do not understand the incredibly strict yet vague guidelines for Charlotte, NC when it comes to poultry. Do I still need some kind of permit if the chicks I’m planning to keep and then sell won’t be more than 3...

I am hoping to hatch some more eggs over the summer and I was just wondering.

My EE pullet is in her second moult and I was just wondering if this was normal because of all the “chicken snow.” The wet sneezes and head shake spraying is on and off. It is clearly coming from her nose but only when she sneezes or shakes her head really fast. It’s not dripping out of her...

Hello, someone living with me used drano in the sink. I took her outside until they finished letting it sit and rinsed it out just to be safe. I share a wall with the room they used Drano in but I have all the fans going. I can’t open windows because they’re unfortunately sealed shut. I learned...

My EE pullet will not sleep if she isn’t cuddled until she falls asleep and then put back in her coop. It’s kind of endearing. Thought I’d share.

Hello, I am new at this and have a 9 week old easter egger hen who hates being "football held," (picked up with both hands). Whenever I try to pick her up that way, she puts her feet up trying to perch instead. She is the only chicken in her original flock that does this and is highly stressed...
