hi! long time no type. :) I can't sleep... thought I'd spill the dilemma here... although its been a super exciting day to come home & find baby chicks walking around w/the "rescue" hen I got a couple months ago, I noticed there are only 2 babies w/her & the other 8 eggs she was sitting on are...

Thanks Zoowee

Thank you a whole bunch, Megan!!!! I looked @ numerous sites that all say different things & for some reason, that page didn't come up in my google vent gleet search; very helpful! Wish us luck, starting treatment now!

Ditto!

Help please!! My last post was a very long mulit-quote comment... Maybe too long... I could really use some advise right now: (I got no reply in the emergencies thread!) one of my 8 week old Columbian Wynadottes is suffering big time & I'd really like to help her make it thru this! "Gleet" is...

HI! I'm back... Missed ya'll!! Welcome to the thread! It's the happening spot on BYC these days! Hope everyone there is out of reach of those fires... Stay cool! I use a DLM w/ straw for my big girls & do a full clean out 2x a year, cedar & pin e shavings w/ the babies & everything has been...

DITTO!

Whatever Ron says is probably best lol... I waited until after dark & combined two different groups of birds w/ my flock last month & they were all to shocked & confused to raise a fuss... It was awesome... **But, I had no roos & all the birds were of similar size... I know that those factors...

Ur are truly a wealth of knowledge, Ron! I have to admit that I barely use the rest of this site anymore since I know I get such accurate & timely responses in this thread. Love Nor Cal! You all are the reason I have been checking into this site everyday instead of facebook Here are some...

Beautiful! I love that I got a white egg (3 days in a row now) for that reason; 3 eggs, 3 colors... sooooo pretty!) Does anyone know who has that incredible avatar pic of the circle of eggs, every color of the egg rainbow? It's such a great picture!

Thanks Ron! I couldn't imagine that it was the EE... I get a blue egg from her everyday & haven't heard of a chicken laying twice a day, let alone two different colored eggs! (Can they lay 2 x a day??) I could understand an older brown layer loosing their "coat"... I have seen white soft...

I'm so glad to hear your babies are ok! YEAY! For future reference tho: there is an awesome vinegar & baking soda thread on this site that explains how to make a "gas chamber" to cull chicks... I had to use it once & it worked great! (But I hope you never have to... I buried the baby in the...

I posted a new thread about my white mystery egg... Though I'd ask ya'll too since not many replies have come there... Here's the scoop: I have 9 laying hens, 2 that over 3 y.o. & 7 that are aprox. 8 months old There are 4 BRs, 4 RIRs, & 1 Ameracauna... I've only got blue & brown eggs...

SO exciting! If they are Buff Orpingtons, the flighty-ness should subside... thats my experience at least. I'm sure just a lot of your voice & some hand feeding will calm them. Probably just need time to settle in. Mystery chicks are so exciting! (Sorry I am of no help, PAPA! My guess would...

OH And: CONGRATS RON! That is so cool! Ditto on what Wings said: I know I have personally (my birds really) been helped multiple times by ur caring & experienced advice... We are all lucky to have someone like you on BYC

Welcome!!! This is an incredible site! (I think its safe to say we are all addicted to chickens here so have fun!) I have learned soooo much from the people here; lots of knowledge, different tricks of the trade & this is a great forum... What are you raising & why, may I ask??

Glad to hear that you have a health food store near, Zoo! Which is it, may I ask? I mostly make my own medicine but have to rely on store bought goldenseal sometimes: The goldenseal/echinacea tincture I buy for about $10 is made by Herbpharm in OR. (Great ppl, top notch facility & incredible...

These are natural remedies I swear by for all animal & human ailments that I have used w/ great success. (I don't do antibiotics or pharmaceuticals for my animals & very rarely people. Hope this can be of some help! Echinacea/goldenseal tincture in their water: 5 drops per pint for babies. You...
