    Broody hen issue (left eggs for a few hours)

    I am dealing with my first broody hen. She had been sitting/setting(?) on the eggs for two days when I moved her into a set up area about 10 feet from the coop. I moved her at night and checked on her an hour later she was asleep on the nest and seemed fine. I'm assuming as soon as the sun came...

    Has anyone seen Food inc yet? We just got back!

    What a well done documentary! I saw a dozen people writing down the website given at the end of the film to learn more about it when they got home. I even heard one woman say that watching that helped her make up her mind to get a few laying hens. Just wondering if anyone else has seen it yet...

    How long until I get a decent amount of fertle eggs?

    I have 10 month old hens that have been laying since March and a 16 week old Buff Orpington cockerel that has been mating with them as much as he can for about a week or so. I would like to try hatching the eggs eventually and we will be buying an incubator soon. How old should he be before it...

    Yeah!!!! I can keep him!!!

    I just found out today that we are technically in Yavapai county not the city of Prescott (by 1/4 of a mile!)

    Well Reu is officially a man

    I peeked out the window into my chicken run to talk to the girls and Reu my 15 week BO cockerel and.. um.. caught him in the act. He hasn't even attempted to crow that I know of and as of yesterday my hens where chasing him around if he got anywhere near them. So my question is.... When would...

    Me thinks I have a rooster ((pics))

    I have only been a chicken owner for 9 months and am still learning the ropes but it has been a little obvious for a couple weeks now that our 13 week old Buff Orpington is a cockerel. We even named 'her' Rue. Rue is one of my two Buff Orpington chicks that I purchased from the local grain store...

    Hello I haven't been on for a while due to buying a house on 2.5 acres (very very spur of the moment). I have always wanted goats for milking and I want a high butterfat content. I am most likely going with Nubians but have heard a few people talking about their pygmy milking goats. Does anyone...

    Looking for meat rabbits in Arizona

    This is turning out to be harder than I thought I have looked online for a list of breeders and on craigslist and called the pet stores for breeder info. It seems like everyone has the lion heads and 80% of pet shops do not sell rabbits here. I have been trying to get a hold of the 4h club but...

    They are becoming big girls!

    I was feeding and talking to my Red Stars this morning and along with their little baby peeps I heard a "bwaaAAACK!!!" They are 12 weeks old and I was wondering if I would ever hear an actual chicken sound from them. I thought I just had quiet chickens.
