    ISO small eggs

    Hey guys! I’m looking for tiny eggs (button quail size or smaller) to feed a baby egg eating snake. Finches, doves, parakeets, or anything around that size would do. Fertile or infertile, as long as they’re fresh. I’d pay you, and pay shipping too, if necessary! I just got this little guy and...

    Hey, everyone! My sister teaches about 300 elementary students art in two of our local schools. Most are kindergarten students. On holidays, I’ve been melting down old, broken crayons into fun holiday-themed shapes to give to the kids. They love them! I’m in search of more crayons, any brand...

    Shell or membrane too thick?

    Hello! I am hatching legbar eggs and they’re due to hatch within this week, some even today (put a few in a couple days after the first, so they have slightly different hatching times.) I noticed two yesterday appeared to have at least partially internally pipped. When I candled I could see a...

    Silkie with wry neck illinois

    I have a silkie with wry neck in central IL. I have been giving it supplements to try and mend it, but I think it would have a better chance with someone with less chickens and more time. I’m about an hour away from Terre Haute, Indiana, and an hour away from Champaign, IL, if you’re interested...

    Sneezing, fluid from nose, otherwise acting normal

    Hi! My cream legbar, under a year old, but fully feathered, not at all a chick, has been sneezing. He has discharge from his nose, not a lot, but noticeable, and shakes his head from time to time. He lives with two other cream legbars around the same age and some silkies, around the same age...

    Newly hatched chick was bleeding

    Hello everyone. I had a chick hatch earlier today (along with two others). They all hatched on their own completely fine. No issues at all, and all were completely fine all day. I checked on them when I got out of the shower and not even 30 minutes later I noticed blood in the incubator. I...

    Hey everybody! I recently hatched 7 d’uccle eggs. They all hatched just fine on their own, no issues at all. They hatched last night and this morning. I noticed one is having a hard time standing. He kind of sits on his butt with his legs out in front of him. One of his legs slightly turns out...

    New babies!

    A coyote recently got one of my roosters and two of my hens a few weeks later. When the rooster passed, I quickly incubated 12 eggs hoping for some of his children. I was unsure about fertility, as a lot of my hens were still younger, and in fear of losing the chance to have any of his babies, a...

    Coyote Deterrent

    Anybody have any suggestions for coyote deterrent? A few weeks ago I had a visit from a very bold coyote. He got one of my roosters. I kept my chickens (and cats!) locked inside for a few weeks and then hesitantly let them out again. All was well for about a week before I heard my remaining...

    Hello. Does anyone know what kind of chicken she is? She’s pretty skittish, so I’m sorry the picture may not be the most clear. Thanks in advance.
