[CHICKENS-101] Buckeyes

 

Does anyone have any experience with Buckeyes from Meyer? The last time I had some, they seemed to be the first ones not to survive, and then the remaining became the hawks' favorite food. Now, I have just received three in the mail, replacing ones that died in the first shipment, and one was DOA and the other two can't stand up, barely alive. Am I wasting my time trying to make them drink warm sugar water?

RE: [CHICKENS-101] Tiny Egg

 

I wouldn't have thought to do that because these tiny eggs I'm getting are the size of our silkie's eggs.  Same size, but they are yolkless.  So maybe they were her early eggs without a yolk?  And not what you're writing about?

Lori, I use a syringe with a needle to remove the contents and save them to decorate

Re: [CHICKENS-101] Tiny Egg

 

Lori, I use a syringe with a needle to remove the contents and save them to decorate. Tap a little hole, push air into the egg slowly to force the contents out thru the one hole, when done I put it hole down to dry out.  Serama's have wind eggs the size of a large pea.  I am surprised by how many actually do have a yolk in them.

I have seen a couple of these eggs.  I was puzzled by them, too.  I haven't seen any in many months now.

[CHICKENS-101] Re: Tiny Egg

 

In polite society these are called 'wind eggs' the rest of us call them 'farts'. The usually do not have a yoke. They do happen from time to time.

More like the size a pullet starts with – then today when I went to gather eggs there was an egg about the size of a quail egg – and we don't have any quails and the pullets aren't old enough to start lying yet. We have 3 BR/1BO/5BA/5BA 9 wk old pullets. What would cause a hen to lay a tiny egg?

[CHICKENS-101] Re: Help: Psycho hen with chicks

 


Can you make a separate coop for her and her babies to stay in for a while, comfortably? Then just supervise her outings with the rest of the flock here and there, very carefully. Dynamics are always changing. Just have to be patient and persistent... and always supervise until it's very clear that no one is going to get hurt.

The other hens ignore the chicks, the rooster is calm and respectful. The 4th mom has issues. She was psycho before becoming a mom, a bully, roosting away from the flock. The flock now enjoys that she's segregated in a pen with her chicks. When I try to let her free, she's attacked by the rooster and by the hens, but they don't touch her chicks. I don't think more time separated from the flock will help her but I don't want her to be injured either, or her chicks loose without protection while she's attacked. I sure could use some advice.
