I've got 20 duck eggs in the incubator, day 27, I've got 4 pipped for more than 24 hours and a couple more for less time than that. But no hatching other than an assist I did that the duckling was dried to the edges of the membrane (it won't survive). Is there something I'm doing wrong that is...
I have a hard time leaving BYC site and not telling everyone goodnight! So I thought it'd be nice for people to say "G'night" here.

My sick poult that died 2 days ago was having yellow urate on otherwise normal poo.... now another of the poults is acting "under the weather" & having yellow urate.... I just started the flock on tylan/doxy soluble 2 days ago, will this help them if it's e coli or salmonella? Or what do i need...
I'm in search of guinea & duck hatching eggs. I'm in Eastern Oklahoma. I'd like to keep shipping time to a minimum if possible, easier on the eggs. Only wanting about a dozen each at the moment.
I had 3 keets & 3 chicks in an outdoor pen together. This morning all was fine. Everyone eating, drinking, chirping, walking & flapping....
Now I found one of the largest keets in the pen completely unable to walk or stand, only flapping its wings to get around. Obviously everyone of its...

I should know exactly what's wrong & what to do, but maybe 2nd opinions to reassure me.
Noticed my hen in the nest acting like she was laying an egg....
I don't know if she laid today already or not bc there are several hens in her pen... Anyways, up on further inspection I see her backside has...

My poor Foghorn has really been through it. He was really lethargic yesterday, I could pick him up even & hold him in my lap. He'd falling asleep when all else was action action action. I've not been able to identify his particular poo. But there has been an increase in icky diarrhea the last...
I just now set 56 of my own quail eggs, plus 10 guinea eggs, and in a week I'll add 11 +/- LARGE breed chicken eggs to hatch-along with the guineas. I've also got 3 turkey eggs that go in lockdown Sunday for a planned CHRISTMAS hatch!!! :bun:jumpy:yesss:

How do I delete a BST thread that I created? I screwed up & didn't read the rules before posting the thread. I have an etsy shop that doesn't get much traffic, thought I would have 100% better luck with fellow BYC'ers.
Anyways, I read the rules after the fact and am in need of a "Deleter"...
I'm trying to find a saddle apron for a BIG white elephant, I mean rooster! I saw one somewhere that was made with material that looked like huge owl eyes. Now I can't find it again. If any of y'all have seen such a thing please let me know. I'm hoping the young rooster wouldn't be too...
I'm looking to y'alls expertise to help me eliminate some of these eggs, & clean out the incubators so I don't have any explosions along the way.

When I went out to check on my quail, I found this feller in the hide with a friend. Who has experience with quails recovering from being scalped? I separated him, of course, brought him inside. Cleaned up his head as much as possible, applied Scarlex and antibiotic ointment. I haven't probed in...
This is my chicken that survived a "dogs" attack. There was an injury to the left ear area that scabbed up & obviously scarred as it healed. I've noticed the area pooches out more now & thought the feathers surrounding the ear canal must be trapped inside. Upon much closer inspection last night...
Is anybody familiar with the use of this product, Quest-Plus Equine Gel, to worm their chickens? The Farmers Coop didn't carry the Equimax that I was recommended. Wondering if anyone knows the dosing for chickens, is it the same as with the Equimax? It does still have praziquantel in it but...
