A chick that just started pipping this morning is zipping
So I carefully took some of the shell off the one I'm concerned about and tried to peel back some of the outer membrane
I'm a little concerned about possible shrink wrapping so I put a damp cloth around the egg
I will check on him(her?)...
I've had 3 hatch rather quick
This was the 2nd one I noticed pipping, and ones that started after have hatched
I have at least 1 more that has pipped as well
I haven't really heard much from these last 2
I have a chick that pipped Sunday evening
I'm not sure what time but I noticed the pip after 7 PM
It's currently 940 PM the next day
It has not zipped and its pip has not gotten much bigger than when I first noticed it
I can see some movement but not a lot
It was kicked around quite a bit by...
I picked up a male and female
They were not very tame at all
The male got out before I could finish the pen and my dog chased it into a field somewhere
The female has been doing good
I just picked up 2 more a regular potbelly and a mini, from someone who was moving and couldn't bring them...
We've had this little girl about a week now
She is approximately 6 months old
Then guy said they bottle fed all the piglets so they were tame, but she is terrified and will not come near us
I do not wish her to be inside, what are some things we can do to show her we will not harm her??
Is there such a thing?
A guy near me is trying to move his piglets
They usually sell for 250 but he's been extra busy and hasn't had a chance to try to sell them
He's letting them go for $20
I've been reading all day about them, and from what I understand there isn't actually a micro pig...
I lost a roo today and i think it might have been from the same thing
I found him when it was too late
I found a similar thread and gave here crushed up b complex in water and am giving her acv mixed on water also
Another roo was being rough with her right before this happened
We just bought a house on 1.89 acres
We have about 33 chickens, not too sure right now the number of roos
I want to add more livestock and figured yall were the best place to come and ask questions
Can a Jenny be ridden like a horse? My kids are new to this and I'm wanting a donkey for...
Is it really impossible to train dogs away from chickens once they have killed/eaten one?
I've got a Catahoula mix and a Boston terrier
I was hoping the Catahoula could become a guard for the chickens
Is this impossible now?
I'm going to have to build a rub
Total of 35 in the flock right now
I just am too nervous with the cats and dogs
This is the area where the coop is, will the trees pose problems?
These are the ones I have so far
I'll be getting the rest over the next few days
I know I have a polish roo
And some americaunas, I think (the black ones?)
Well, I've run hardware cloth all around the outside of the coop and I've got one set of roosting bars set up
We're going to construct the nesting boxes this weekend
In total there will be about 35 birds
It's a 10x12 and I'll be constructing a run as well
I took this last night after I picked the birds up
This was this morning after I was able to get to the feed store
He is easier to see in this pic, and not flat on his face, but the first pic he was. ..well, as much as he could be
