Exactly. The make a microscopic hole in the egg in a sterile environment and test a bit of amniotic fluid to see if the egg is developing a male chick or a female chick, then the male chick eggs are probably turned into dog food or some other use like that so they are only incubating female...

I've got pullets for sale in Coweta, ranging in price from $10 up to $25, and ages from 6 weeks up to about 14 weeks. What are you looking for? It may be too far of a drive for you, too. Rinda

Uh I don't think those are leghorns at all. At least not full blooded. They look too bulky to me. Maybe brown leghorns X ??

Based on this I would say 7-10 day withdrawal. The chart here says residue is detected for 6 days after final dose. http://www.farad.org/publications/miscellaneous/LayingHensEggResidues.pdf

Pullet for sure.

There is no quick fix to feather problems like that. You're just going to have to wait. Yes leave her oil gland alone. It's not visible when they have feathers but very visible when they don't! When you buy a store processed chicken the oil gland has been removed during processing.

Bantam eggs I'd say 8 max. Large fowl eggs probably 4-5. Depends on how big she is.

Who's playing Bingo tonight??? Stay safe friends!

I hatch all year long. :) You are welcome to come see the birds and do local pickup, or I can ship. I don't have any meat birds but I have some good dual purpose birds. www.chickenfanatics.com Good thinking.

Wow! Good luck!!!

We find ventilated coops are the best way to go in the summer. The birds can hang out under the coops to stay cool, or go inside and still catch shade and a breeze. We have plywood panels that go over the screening from roughly October until April.

Ouch- if you can get out of your chair!! I imagine you're going to be sore for a week or two!

Good call. They tend to have good temperament and you'll add more colored eggs to your collection!
