welcome aboard!
 
Well, Bummer! Those Mottled Orpington eggs I got at the Newnan show...,.,the ones the guy was selling for $35/dozen, but gave me a 'deal' for $20/doz. Well, of the 2 dozen eggs we got, only 9 are even fertile! No wonder he was ditching them so cheap! I am going to look to see if I got a card from him and let him know what I think about that! And, from the look of the air sacs, some of them were pretty old to start with!

And, to let you know, of the 14 eggs from my girls, only 3 were not fertile. Not bad for only 1 rooster with 32 hens! You go Beau!

That really stinks
 
I've got a dilemma. I found my cochin hen with a bloodied head and peeled back skin two days ago. She's been inside the house in quarantine and i made the assumption it was my turkey hen since she is so much larger. Well i put the turkey in isolation and came home today to find my largest chicken dead with some ruffled feathers and a little blood on her head. Of the birds in the coop there were 3 modern games, 2 7 month old show girl bantams, a rouen duck and a 2 year old turken hen. Do i just assume it was my only other LF and just get rid of the turken or do i wait and see if there is another suspect and risk more birds? I have had a few isolated incidents last year that i had assumed were just unhealthy birds but now i'm thinking it may be the same situation.
