Thanks! Been pretty busy :) I think she is a mix. The lady I got her from tried to tell me she was a Marans...She had no clue what birds she had. Anyway, I took her for egg laying, but I have a few of her progeny. They are darker than her and are laying some nice eggs. Hmm...perhaps part. It's...

Can anyone identify this breed? Lays brown eggs, great layer.

Awesome, thanks! I tried using the calculator and it kept telling me I'd get all black offspring. But, I don't know how to do all the settings, so who knows, lol. I was just curious anyway, since I don't have any black. No, I didn't check the Marans thread, I don't have any Marans those colors...

Sorry, just glimpsed the Neosporin thing and had to pipe up. Neosporin IS a brand name triple antibiotic. It contains Neomycin, Polymyxin B, and Bacitracin. Neomycin may be what you're thinking of, Verna.

Hi all! Shot in the dark here...Anyone know what the results of breeding a chocolate to a lavender would be? I'm still s-l-o-w-l-y learning genetics so take it easy on me, lol. I can find clear answers on B/B/S and C/B, but nothing so easy for other color combinations. Lavender is a self-blue...

Oh my, where to start! Welcome to the new comers! Hawkeye, glad your girl is doing better. We've had a few that came down with similar symptoms this winter. That VetRX is great stuff! I counted my birds today... I have way more than I thought I did! 100 on the nose. Plus I have a trio of...

Hi all, I haven't been on for a long time; 3000 posts worth! Not even gonna try to catch up. So is everyone looking forward to spring? I know I am. My 1 year old EE's FINALLY decided to start laying. Sheesh, it took them forever; I thought they were never gonna start! I got my first batch of...

Hi all! Just popped in to say, "Hi!" Brrrrr! It's cold! I know I've missed a lot of posts, so I just read the last page. Sorry to hear you had a loss to an owl, too, Rob :( One of my chicks that I hatched this spring (the only offspring of my now deceased Australorp hen and deceased SLW roo...

Thanks, he is such a great dog. In all other ways he is just perfect. He was even great with the chickens ever since we let him out to work. Almost every day, there would be at least one bird that would find his/her way out of the electric netting and he would never pay it any mind. I think he...

Good morning all. Still plugging along here, how have you all been? I just can't seem to get on here often enough to keep up, so I just don't even try anymore. We had a rough week here. Sarge started killing chickens again. Long story short, I've done what could to keep him, but now he is...

Aww, adorable grandson you got there! Chickens are still sneezing, not getting worse, no more deaths. Never got any more advice on what to do, vet never called back, can't find anything else to use from the feed stores, can't afford the stuff they sell on-line. Irritated, but nothing I can do...

Thank you all for input on what to use for my birds. I found this: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ps044 , but I am absolutely stumped because none of these sound like what we have here. I just have a few birds sneezing and one bird that will "caw" and extend his neck when he's eating. I lost a BR...

I e-mailed Harris Farms to see if I could order a base for my waterer, but THEY don't even sell the bases separately I called all around town to all the feed stores, co-ops, vets, and called the feed stores in MacPherson, too. NO ONE has Duramycin! Even most of the websites I can order from...

Good morning all! I didn't have time to read all the posts I missed :( I am in a bit of a situation today. I ran out of Duramycin-10 powder yesterday and need it for 3 more days. I went to TSC to get some more and a replacement base for one of my waterers. Well, they are out of the Duramycin and...

I just skimmed... Hawkeye, that must have been terrifying! I'm so glad everyone is okay. I can't believe he tried to lie his way out of it being his fault. I can't remember everything I read, but I know I laughed about the neighbors thinking 'dad' was out of his mind holding the goat's horns...

Thanks for the tip on the meds. I will see it TSC or Orscheln's has it. OMG, I just saw about the galvanized waterer. That is seriously scary!!! The only thing I knew about galvanized, is not to use anything galvanized for my parrot. It is coated with Zinc, I believe, and that is toxic to...

Wow, was I behind on posts again! My kids have been sick all week and my youngest woke up with pinkeye this morning. Hubby started a new job this week, too. He now works first shift while he's in training, where before, he worked 2nd shift. I've had to change my sleeping schedule, so that I...

Thanks to the person who posted the video on how to sex waterfowl. I'm sure he makes it look easier than it is, but at least now I think I am capable of doing it!

Oh no! Hopefully that will break her of any thought of doing it again, and fast. That is scary! I hope he will be okay. Sending good thoughts and energy to you and your family >>><3<<<

Yep, it was me. That's awesome that they were still thriving! Perhaps they were mostly in pupal stage and that's how they survived? From what I understand, they don't eat when they are pupae. I just can't wait to get started on mine, I know my chickies will LOVE them! Ah, that makes sense. I...
