    Thank you! We had a roll of neoprene rubber already at our house, so I cut what I needed of that and it was perfect! I used liquid nail to glue it on, then went around the edges with clear silicone so dirt and debris didn’t get wedged in there.

    Integrating to flock when on different foods

    You can switch them now, it won't hurt them. I've always keep mine on grower feed until they reach about 16-18 weeks old, then will finish out the last bag and switch them to layer feed.

    That’s about what it’s like at my house. So funny the girls will go walk circles around the bachelor pen, just far enough away to peck the ground, ignore the boys and drive them crazy 😂

    Brown and Yellow scabs on skin

    that makes a heck of a lot more sense than what I conjured up! Lol Thank you so much for your input! These reports should come with a “how to read necropsy reports for dummies” 😂

    Brown and Yellow scabs on skin

    Just got the final necropsy report back. My understanding is she had a sinus bacterial infection and went septic, which ultimately killed her. Either she truly showed zero symptoms of sinus bacterial infection or I have no business having chickens because I never would have thought she had this...

    My tamed duck won’t eat mealworms

    Put them in water. Either toss a couple in his drinking water or when he bathes and let him find them.

    Entry 2 - my mini Zebu, Lolly. She is 10 months old, and she loves food, and annoying me. But she's so sweet and cute that I don't really mind. If I don't give her attention when she walks up to me, she will stand there and start chewing on my clothes. This is probably some kind of behavior I...

    What does her crop feel like? And what does her stool look like?

    Sick pullet

    Is she laying yet? If so, when was her last egg?

    Easter Egger and Olive Egger confusion

    Well said! And this is also why Olive Eggers and chocolate/ true blue layers should come from reputable breeders if you’re worried about quality. They are bred for quality by selective breeding. Some people do not care one way or another. I personally do, because genetics fascinate me ♥️

    Easter Egger and Olive Egger confusion

    I didn’t say marans were the only brown layers to produce Olive Eggers, simply just used them as examples because they are homozygous brown carriers. Easter eggers aren’t guaranteed to produce blue eggs. But a cream legbar or amerecauna are guaranteed because they are pure bred with no crosses...

    Easter Egger and Olive Egger confusion

    It’s genetics. I explained and it makes perfect sense lol. If you can’t make sense of genetics from my explanation i also posted a link. Feel free to do your own research but the link I posted explains very well I think. I agree with all the egger names getting out of hand.

    Same. I learned that lesson the hard way also!

    Air cell size and humidity d25

    Whatever eggs you have will be fine! If the ones hatched are dried off I would go ahead and remove them and put in the brooder.

    Do you have chickens or laying ducks? Duck eggs are higher in protein if so
