Hi there, I’m wondering if anyone has fertile eggs to sell? Thank you

So to spare you a long story, I have 3 pot belly pigs that wandered into our yard several years ago. 2 females and one neutered male. I wasn't sure he was neutered, but my farrier assured me if he wasn't I'd see it. So, even though he's neutered, he seems to retain the characteristics of an...

Good morning everyone, I'm posting this for my friend who has lost half her flock, about 10 chickens/chicks in the past week. She had purchased two turkens that were about 2 weeks old and added them to her baby chick coop. The two turken babies died suddenly over night about 3 days later, they...

Hi all, We recently lost my son's most favorite hen in the world, Macaroni, who was an OE bantam, she was black with a red chest, not sure which kind, doesn't really matter. But we'd like to try to hatch some more of these wonderful little chickens. I'm having a hard time finding eggs though...

Hi all! We've had 3 pot belly pigs wander into our yard for a while now but one of them has head tilt and is now sometimes dragging his front leg on the same side a little when he walks. I assume from the very little I know about pigs (which is nothing!) that this might be an ear infection? We...

I've read a few posts on newborn chicks, but I really don't know what to do right now. This little chick was fine earlier, happy sitting under the hen. We went back out a few hours later, and it was laying off to the side and had been pecked. My husband brought it in, tried to get some of the...

So we have a Muscovy drake that wandered into our yard about a year ago, and for the past 24 hrs, he's not really acting himself. He sort of keeps his neck hunkered down into his body, like when they sit....and isn't really walking around the yard much. He's been drinking and eating a little...

So I have a frizzle hen that started sneezing quite a while ago. She ended up getting this big lump above one of her eyes, but that has since cleared up. I have given her several rounds of duramyacin, but that doesn't seem to be getting rid of whatever she has. Then I go out there this evening...

Ok, so a few months ago a white muscovy drake walked onto our property and he's been with us every since. He's very nice and gets along with our chickens just fine, although I have seen him chasing some hens on occassion. We have been giving him some chicken feed as I was told that was ok at the...

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) She's a frizzle hen, about 7 yrs old and probably weighs about 1-2 lbs. She does feel thinner than the others at this time 2) What is the behavior, exactly. She has a lump under her beak...

So I've been going through all the posts on this topic because I have a silkie hen that has a sour crop. I've read about giving ac vinegar, yogurt, not giving them feed, no fruits, but then I find other threads that say yogurt and ac vinegar makes things worse. I just gave her some kefir tonight...

I went out to feed tonight, and one of my silkie hens, who is about 10 mo old, was just laying there. So I picked her up, and when I did, she is bone thin. She drank some water, and ate a little bit, but I've brought her inside for the night to keep the others from picking on her and to keep her...

Ok, so this summer, our feed store had silkies, so we bought quite a few of them. In the end, we now have 4 roosters out of that, and 7 hens to go with them. I know this is where the chicken disease sets in and I could get more hens to match the roosters, and trust me, I've thought of that, but...

I have two batches of silkie chicks that we got and we've been keeping them in a smaller cage seperate from our other chickens, but 3 times now we have gone out in the morning to one being dead. It's almost like it got squished or something. This morning one died and there were only 5 chicks in...

Hi all, I hope someone can help us out. We have a little bantam hen that keeps getting a very full crop. It's about the size of a raquetball, which is pretty large for a little hen. This has happened quite a few times, and my husband will go out there and squeeze her to get some of it out...

I have a couple of chickens that might be moulting, but are sneezing and sometimes sound a little gurgly. I've been giving them vitamins, yogurt and oatmeal until we could get the antibiotics as was suggested from another post. I got both Terramyacin and Tylan. Which one should I give for this...

I have a one and a half yr old black star hen that woke up this morning sort of lethargic, so we picked her up to look at her, and she's sort of wheezing a little and she sneezed. We gave her some Vet-x in her mouth, and when I put her back on the ground, she lost a bunch of feathers and I...

I know there are a lot of posts for leg problems here, but I still hope someone can give me some direction and help. I have a 6 mo old barred rock hen that just started limping yesterday. It's only on one leg and this morning she's limping worse than last night. I think she might have starting...

Hi all, I currently have a coop where I have 13 chickens...3 of which are roosters (all surprises). What I need help with figuring out how to keep my smaller hens (frizzles and silkies) safe from my roosters. Currently all the chickens are let out during the day and just go back in at night. I...

Hi, I'm looking for a few silkie and frizzle girls to add to my flock. I would prefer younger ones, but not necessary. I would love to have a few different colors too, I have 1 white silkie hen and 1 red frizzle hen that need some friends their size. All my other girls are larger. Thanks so...
