Hi, I've got a question about egg production. All of a sudden our chickens have gone on strike, egg production has dropped by nearly half, and we sell our eggs. They're so slow now that I have back orders, and I never had that trouble. We were giving our chickens 20% protein feed, but heard that...

Hello, I posted this morning about a chick with possible Mareks. Well, being the third chick with symptoms, it's looking very likely. I had never even heard of it until the first chick became ill last week, then right after the second chick came down with the same symptoms. I started...

Hello, I have a chick that I found this morning in the chick pen, it's about two months old. It looks off balance and dizzy. it's falling over when it tries to run with the other chicks. Can anyone tell me what this is?? And how can I treat it. I'm removing her from the rest and putting her in...

Hello, Our chickens have started laying eggs outside of their coop, some of them, not all. Some places I can't get to, like under huge rose bushes. We have a Lady Banksia rose almost the size of a small house, no kidding. They've started going underneath it and laying eggs, I hear them when...

Hello, I have a Buff Orpington chick that hatched three days ago, it appears to have spraddle leg, and another problem with it's feet or legs. It wants to walk on it's legs?? The joint is looking a little red, and his feet don't bend to go straight on the floor. Have any of you had this issue...

I have baby chicks that just hatched a couple of days ago, and put the smallest chick waterer I could find for them, to avoid drowning, but I have Phoenix chicks in with the rest of them, and this was a very tiny chick, so it looks like he may have been pushed in, wasn't in for long, but he was...

Hello everyone. I'm sure this has been asked many times, but I couldn't find it. I have eggs in the bator, this is only our second hatch here at home. The first chick has hatched, and it's now running around the incubator bumping into all the other eggs, some of which have pipped. Is it possible...

I found bright red runny poo outside today in front of the house, I have no idea which of the chickens did it. None of the chickens look sick. Yet. The first thing that came to mind was coccidosis, and I have Corrid. So I dumped the duck pool , just in case one of them gets the idea of drinking...

Good morning, I bought my daughter a Hovabator Genesis 1588, the information that came with it say's it's pre set, stupid, stupid, stupid me, I believed them. I think something isn't right, and I don't have another thermometer to check. It came pre set at 100, and say's to keep the humidity at...

Hello everyone, I'm having trouble with our incubator, I don't understand why, it's brand new. I gave it to my daughter as a n early Christmas present. We're on day nineteen, we have removed the egg turner, and filled the second chamber, (It's a Hovabator Genesis), I put the lid back on, but all...

Good morning everyone. I have seven baby chicks that were hatched a month ago, they have almost all feathers now, and I've been keeping them inside. For those who are experienced with hatching during winter, when is it safe for them to go outside?This is our first time hatching eggs, so it's...

For the last week one of our roo's was sick, he had a pale crest, and was very weak. I have a cage by the front door where I keep our sick chickens when we have one, this way I can keep a close watch on them. He looked like he was getting better, the color was back in his crest and he was...

Hi, Just passing this along, not that any of us with chickens have to worry about it, but the rest of the nation might. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/12/15/california-could-be-on-the-verge-of-a-severe-egg-shortage-and-it-will-affect-the-whole-country/

We just sold the first half of our pecan crop to a local shop in town. Our pecan sheller raised the price, so we were selling at $7.50. I searched EVERYWHERE, and found a new sheller, 38 miles away, but cheaper ! The second half of the harvest has already been sent to the new sheller, and should...

Good morning everyone. I have a question, we have some eggs in the incubator that were in the process of hatching, there were two who were taking a very long time to hatch, and when I wasn't in the room, my daughter opened the incubator and made the opening in the two eggs larger, and they've...

Hello, We went out to give our chickens their daily treat, when we noticed our rooster sitting off by himself, and I saw his comb looked pale. When I approached him, I saw that he had brown around his beak, possibly dried blood, looks like it dripped onto his feet a little. I have no clue at all...

Hi everyone, I have a question. Lately I've been having a whole lot of hawks trying to swoop down on my chickens, luckily we've been fortunate, so far no losses this year. Last year we lost two hens to hawks. I hate them. I know they serve a purpose in controlling rodents, etc. BUT , I draw the...
