Pigs 4-6 developed scours late Sunday. They were treated quickly with Agrimycin injections and Lincomycin and electrolytes in their water. I have not been using prophylactic antibiotics as I did not have any scours in pigs 1-3. The poops were much less this morning so it looks like they are controlled.

We used "Sure-Gel" in the milk for our bottle calves to stop scours, a little Karo Syrup on the nipple to get them started sucking

So Ameracuana (or Easter Egger...understanding that technically, they are different breeds) can lay blue, green, or pink, yes? Is there any way to tell which hen will lay which color? Is the gene for egg color represented somehow on the colors of the bird?

Gosh, that sounds like a stupid question...I'm not really sure I'm asking it correctly. But of my three Ameracuana hens (they may be EE, I'm not really sure), one has a very dark head, one has a very light head, and one has a medium color head. I have no idea which hen laid these eggs.

Look for a pea comb. Pea comb genes are linked to the blue egg gene. That is about 99% of the time. You can get a single comb that lays a blue egg but it takes a lot of breeding to do it.
