I bought some araucana some months ago..just started getting eggs...im so disappointed..i was told these were blue layers and the only thing ive got so far is green..my other araucanas are pure and lay beautiful blue eggs..id rather not have greens eggs..that not wat i was wanting and i was told...
Is there a book or video out there to help if i wanted to do and after death inspection? I too lost my favorite black doubled hen the other day...it looked like she just sneezed and fell of her perch in the middle of the night..she was almost ten so it was probably old age or a heart attack..but...
IT's not really like that that i see...looks like two puss filled bubbles...looks like it hurts...i took a different pic to see if that'll help any...thanks
Madame D'uccle is having an issue with her eye...looks like a sack of somesort..it's getting larger..i've gave her a fowl pox shot about a week ago but it seems to not helped. I've got a couple of anitbiotics here at home. Any words from anyone out there?...thanks for any help you have to offer.
What's the rule on raising a single chick when it comes to heat...which is more efficient..an overhead light or a heating pad?...just a thought...thanks guys for all of your help...Rob
Ok..she's been walking like she's got a brick in her britches for about 3 weeks now..she eats and drinks..she looks so uncomfortable...i assume it's egg binding because i have'nt seen one of her eggs in a while and i've treated her..twice today..once for 15min and once again about 4 hrs later...
I"ve put her in a storage tub in the shower tub..filled it up about 75%..put her in it...she kinda floats but she can stand up...she's not made a move...i covered her up with a towel and she seems to be meditating?..i did'nt feel an egg but she's walkiing around like she's got a brick in her...
Its funny because the other day i caught her standing in the egg box worrying over an egg and i got to see it plop out...later i picked it up and it was really misshappen and wrinkled....is she egg bound?
My hen is walking like she's got rocks in her pants...walking kind of low slung...somewhat of a waddle...she doe'snt look happy...she's eating and getting around but not at ease...any idea?
JC i'm looking forward to my eggs from you..i do have a question...a week ago i bought some so called araucana eggs but found out there were some americana in the group...all of the eggs are greenish but one...would that blue one be a true araucana and the green ones the americana? Thanks
