Congrats on the addition to the family!

So sorry you had to lose the flock.

Anybody in the Hope Mills/ Grays Creek/ East Fayetteville area have any fertile eggs? Our two Muscovies decided go go broody together. So I want to get about 6 eggs to put under them. I figure since it is their first time if any actually hatch we will be doing good. They are dedicated sitters though so it is worth a try.
 
Hey guys, got a question.
Culled all my flock yesterday besides a few laying hens that never got any symptoms or sick (couldn't bring myself to kill a perfectly good bird just because it could be a carrier).
I was waiting to do my 2 barred rocks until today-- couldn't do anymore after my rooster.
The one has still had a ton of energy. She comes running for treats and is still eating, drinking, etc.
But her face STINKS and there's still some clear mucus coming from her nose even though her eyes cleared up.
I keep giving antibiotics, and while she is acting fine (and even laid an egg today, I know I can't eat with antibiotics) she still smells so bad in the face.
Do I cull her with the other barred rock I was holding out hope for, or give it a few more days? (The other barred rock has to go, she's just getting worse).
I don't want to prolong the inevitable, but I saved the hardest ones for last thinking it would get easier by the time I got to them, but it's only getting hard

I'm so sorry you had to experience that!!

Congrats Luke! He is precious!
