Eggs Hatched But Got Caught In Fan HELP! *Graphic Pics*
Neosporin is okay, but better yet is EMT Gel. It provides a collagen matrix for new skin to grow. Last year we had two hens get into a battle royal over a clutch of chicks. The hens were unhurt, but they totally scalped some of the chicks. We actually did an experiment, where we put... -
How can I make friends with my peachicks?
Thanks for all the suggestions. I found that if I sit with them when they have emptied their food bowl, they will take food I throw to them. They're shy, though with these regal birds, shyness seems like haughtiness. They will condescend to take bits of food. Speaking of which, I have... -
Where do you get campine-pattern OEG bantams?
Since I don't show my birds, my question about the poor quality would be: are they recognizable as campine? I don't have access to show standards, so and maybe the differene is in some subtle markings or something I would not normally notice, though I can recognize the campine pattern...- MizPookie

Meyer Hatchery - Worst Experience Ever
I've ordered from Meyer's twice. The first time, no problems. When I went to order the next year, they said I had a credit with them, which puzzled me. I ordered and this time, several of the chicks were weak and did not make it. I didn't feel I should make an issue of it, since they had...- MizPookie

How can I make friends with my peachicks?
Thank you for the suggestions. Right now the peachicks are in a small pen with a low 'ceiling' so I can't comfortably hang out with them. And they run to the other end when I try to make friends. I guess we need to move them into something I can walk into or else they will continue to... -
Where do you get campine-pattern OEG bantams?
GotGame, I didn't know Ideal sold them. Thanks for that tip. Unfortunately, they're sold out for this year. I also see them available on DarkEggs.com, but I've never dealt with them. When I tried to add chicks to their ordering cart I was redirected to paypal, with the message, "This...- MizPookie

How can I make friends with my peachicks?
We recently bought two peahen chicks to keep company with our peacock chick. He just lookedl lonely when he was in the pen with the regular chicken chicks. It's like they have different games they play. However, all of the peachicks are rather shy. I don't know how - or if - I can get them to... -
Where do you get campine-pattern OEG bantams?
I was admiring some pictures of gold campine patterned Old English Game banties on the web, but it doesn't look like anyone is selling them currently. Is this an approved OEG color, or is it experimental? They are very pretty, and I would like to get some, whatever their 'official status'!- MizPookie

Only one peachick. Would like care advice.
Update: I couldn't get the peachick to eat until I offered the broody hen some mashed egg. When she eagerly ate it, so did the chick. So I think eating is taken care of. Drinking, however, is another story. I tried to interest the chick in the waterer (it's shallow and filled with... -
Only one peachick. Would like care advice.
We were planning to get peafowl, and talking to various people who had them. We visited a breeder, read up on the internet, and eventually decided that it might not be safe to free range the birds where we live. There were mixed opinions, but the person with the most experience said that the...
