Kim dropped off some eggs from her SG Dorking Hen that had no eggs develop. This time they all developed!

Kim did something to get fertility up....

I candled a couple and made a movie.

Whoah! I've seen pics, but I didn't know that you could see movement! That's amazing!

  I have been using a toilet paper roll, too!

Haha whatever works right? Lol. But it would be nice to see through the colored eggs.

ERM candlers. But that is a funny autocorrect.

Go get a plastic plumbing piece from osh or lows. It is thick enough to work better then a toilet tube.


There is a led flashlight that is 400 lunes on amazon for less then 10 bucks. Just pop the plumbing piece on and you can see everything if you keep the batteries up.

Awesome! I'm heading to redding today and ill get the plumbing piece. And I think I even have one of those flashlights in the car.

That is so funny!

Yes, you can see movement! It is much easier with the Dorkings but I do have one from a med dark Marans too.

Does anyone know how to perform bumblefoot surgery? I just found out my hens have it and am freaking out. I don't have the resources to go too a vet and get treatment, and know it can be treated at home, I live in the Bay Area, Oakland. Anyone willing to help out?

Zoowema on this thread has done it a few times and linked some videos. I bet she won't be on over the long weekend but maybe someone has a link. It seems to be treatable.you could start by soaking her feet in Epson salts.


Welcome and I hope you get more info.
