Yes but mailing to my nephew worth the cost but just once lol

Wondering can you mail fresh eggs and the person who receives can still eat them? It would take 3-4 days for the eggs to get there?

Me to, I was beaten till I was black and blue. My mother beat us while dad was at work I got the worse of it. She would make me pick the switch if it was not thick enough she would make one of my sisters pick it. In highschool I had to change for gym in the bathroom so no one would see. Ran...

I know this has been answered but I can't find it. Can you use layer crumbles to ferment? How about feed mill layer food, its nothing like store brought layer food. The consistency is more like crushed bird seed.

Do you all who feed fermented feed find this article true? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19373724 Br Poult Sci. 2009 Mar;50(2):228-39. Fermented feed for laying hens: effects on egg production, egg quality, plumage condition and composition and activity of the intestinal microflora...

I meant to save a subject and now can't find it, the horse manure for bedding should it be fresh or already composted? My daughter has 15 horses on her farm I can get fresh mixed with shaving or composted. Thanks

Bee we will wait it out and see how she does. I'm not very good at typing what I'm thinking and trying to say, so I understand if I confused you :). I still have one question was I wrong to put the KY jelly around the ouside and inner edges of her vent. If I was say so so no one else makes the...

this is the first time she has had a problem. She was laying good eggs until Nov. 1 then she just stopped. She was acting funny today standing around puffed up tail down so I put a little KY jelly around her vent and inner edge of her vent..(she was already leaking before I played doctor with...

She is 7 1/2 months and a white Plymouth Rock.

Bee should we go ahead and kill her or wait? Is she in pain? Since she passed the yolk she seems to have more pep. This just came out of her it was in the nest box she was sitting in. I talked to my daughter who has been a vet tech off and on for years and we will do a necropsy it wont be...

My hen is not doing well today. She has a clear liquid with a tinge of yellow leaking from her vent its just a bit not a lot. She also seems to be slowing down. Ay advice? I have been following advice given by Fred awhile back but it's not doing her any good.

Is it normal in the winter for hens not to lay for 12 days? She is not egg bound and she does not seem to be broody or molting she is a 7 1/2 month old Plymouth Rock she was a good layer. My hubby calls her brunhilda her and the little bantam or his favorite chickens. So he is on me about...

Old timers do you worm your chickens? I saw what might have been a long round worm in a pile of poo on the poop board. I ground up some pumpkin seed and pumpkin and fed it to them but now wondering if I should start a worming program. Would cold weather when laying down be a good time to worm?

Thanks dragonlady and Jeff. Called the feed store it has not been treated.

I threw a bunch of winter wheat seed in the back run Sunday . If it doesn't germinate in the next week or so will the seeds harm the chickens? Right now I have the pullets fenced off from that run if the seed does not show signs of growth I would like to open that run back up.

Will that work with any large winter squash ..like cushaw squash. The produce stand shut down and called me I got free a trunk full of pumpkins and cushaw for the chickens. Also I thought chickens couldn't eat moldy food wouldn't the pumpkins be moldy after sitting all that time?
