Still here in Chickendom. Had 11 babies hatch this month.

I have a young chicken- approximately 7 weeks old. Last Sunday (6 days ago) I found her sitting near the coop. (My chickens free range during the day.) She was sitting while the other chicks (same age) were active. I brought her Inot the house and she cannot walk. She has been In the...

So do you think I should keep the turning feature on in the incubator?

I added some pictures of the eggs

I tried to candle all 22 eggs. Many are very dark inside with a small amount of light at one end. A couple I could see more definition. Have no idea what point of development they are at.

It may very well be that the stopped developing, because one of the nests sat abandonded for many hours on a cold night. However, I figured that some of the eggs may have only been laid a day or two before the broodies left.

When it's dark tonight I can try to take a picture of them on the candler and post it. The room is too bright right now.

I had two hens sitting on eggs in a coop where the other hens were contributing their eggs. One hen had 16 eggs and the other had 14! When the hens got off the nest during the daytime, we moved the eggs to different type of boxes that we could move easily in the night to a separate area. The...

I'm not sure what you are seeing as pus. In the first picture I posted, when I zoom in I do see something over the eyeball itself. Is that what you are refering to?

I brought her in to take a good look. To me it looks like the lower rim of the skin around the eye is torn. These pictures are with a bunch of triple antibiotic on. However, it doesn’t seem to be responding to antibiotic ointments, that’s why I was wondering if it was fungal.

Ok, I'll look more closely at it. But why would she be screaming and scratching it? I've been irrigating it and putting ointment on it for 2 weeks.

I don't think it's a growth. Its probably irritated from being scratched with dirty toenails. She also rubs the eye against her shoulder, so her shoulder is always damp.

I added a picture, and I can see that it is swollen compared to the other eye.

One young chicken out of a flock of 30 is screeching and scratching her left eye. The eye doesn’t look swollen, just teary. This has been going on for about 2 weeks! I flush the eye with saline, I have veterycin wound spray as well as veterycin eye drops. I also have erythromycin ointment and...

Apparently they are an all around ranch or farm dog. They were bred in the southeast US to work at herding, protecting, hunting and cart work.

I just had to have my Maremma Sheepdog put down as he mauled my older dog twice. He was extremely territorial over his food and I never felt at ease with him when he was around my cats. He didn't like them and they didn't like him. He was an excellent patrol dog, running the property and...

I have an appointment to look at a litter of puppies tomorrow. The father was a Great Pyrenees and the mother a Black Mouth Cur. I live on 24 acres with 14 chickens and ducks. (I had more chickens, but recently lost 13 to attacks by predators) I am looking for a dog that would be able to run...
