We've been told to give our girls coxiprol to try with an issue we've got and it has a 10 day egg withholding period. I was wondering, can you (cook and) give the chickens their eggs when they're being given coxiprol or other meds they might all be on?
Hey guys, please help a little newbie!
I have three silkie eggs in my incubator which are on day 11. When I did my check in last night to weigh them and candle, they all looked good. Movement, good blood vessels etc. However when I weighed them, one of the eggs has lost 12 GRAMS since it went...
Y'all I have too many eggs! My hens produced this many in the time frame of 2 weeks.
We've also gave away like 3 dozen eggs too
(I only have like 30 hens)
Hello!
This little guy was moving a few days ago and I went to do one last check (day 18) and he’s not looking too alive anymore. I can’t see any veins, only bloody looking spots; no movement (today, the other three eggs all moved into position and he hasn’t). Now I’m noticing the air sac is...

Hello!
I’ve got four jersey giants that are 18 weeks old. One of them matured very quickly, she’s had a big comb and wattles for a few weeks, bright red. And today, she layed an egg!
My question is, should I be concerned about any reproductive problems with her, since she is starting laying...
I have 19-20 week old hens. I have 6 of them, One has started laying and she's been laying beautiful eggs the past 3 weeks. I have another chicken who i'm suspecting is laying some super small eggs.
Lately about every other day i've been getting two soft shell eggs. My chickens are eating...
Hey! I saw many people do this and thought it would be fun.

Here are some pics of the celadon eggies. I’ll follow up weekly, but I’ll take...

So, when it rains while I'm at work, I'm stuck at my desk until it stops. So right now, I am bored out of my mind :barnie
When I'm on BYC, I tend to just click the "What's new" tab and just scroll through it until I reach the end. I then go to the forums tab and try to find something...
Hello,
I turn to you in a slightly gloomy mood. This year we decided to try hatching our duck eggs in an incubator. All the eggs were fertilized and probably genetically fine too, because we gave them to people to hatch a few times and they hatched without any problems. Today is the 29th day...
As the hatching season comes to an end for most of us, there are some things I like to do to ensure easy startup for next season.
1. Clean ALL the parts and pieces of the incubators.
I used two incubators this Spring. A Hatching Time CT60 and a NutureRight360. I start by completely...
My hens have been separated from the roosters for 2.5-3 months now so they could hatch and raise chicks. The chicks hatched a little under 2 months ago (staggered hatch that I had to finish in the incubator).
A few days ago we found the hiding spot the hens had started laying new eggs in, and...
Hey BYC people! I was hoping you all could help me out with something.
So my nice Australorp hen, Elizabeth, has been broody for about 2-3 weeks now. She stays in the box all day and is pulling her belly feathers out too now. Our season is closing in here to it is not possible to let her...
My chicken went missing, turned out she was sitting on eggs. Not how long she has been sitting on them but she passed so I took the eggs inside to the incubator but I'm not sure if should turn them or not. The babies in the eggs are moving around. Is it better to stop turning them later or...
