I'm wondering if there are others who look after feral cats and also if there are some people who find them as predators. For years I believed they were predators and back then I bred birds such as budgies and cocktails and some others. A number of times I trapped feral cats and brought them to...

I hatch mixed breed chickens. Some may ask why I would like to mix the breeds like that. Like many people who keep chickens for a hobby, I just love to have a variety of breeds so that I know my chickens each one from the other. And then after all, I love to have baby chicks. Each hen can not...

Since losing all but 1 Rooster of my American Bresse Chicks by a dog killing them I ordered more American Bresse eggs 14. I received them fine. But before I could get them going in the incubator, I dropped them. 3 were totaled out and I had to discard them sadly. But 5 more we're cracked...

Because who needs roosters, poor creatures. If they do, I'll give them some. Anyhow, I have read more than one article about hatching chicken eggs that have been refrigerated will produce more hens. The theory behind it is supposedly a male egg will not as likely survive if the egg gets too...

I recently hatched some chicken eggs in an incubator. I just wanted to add a new small batch to the ones I already have. I was given a dozen large eggs from a nearby neighbor of various mixed breeds. Then I found a deal on 7 Bresse hatching eggs and bought them to incubate at the same time. I...

I bought one of these because of the low price and I'm wondering if anyone has tried them and did they actually hatch eggs. It now arrived and I plan to give it a try. I see I will have to lean it back and forth and prop it because it doesn't have an egg turner and add a humidity gauge..

I purchased this laying hen a while back and it is a mixed breed. I bought it with another laying hen which was a Road Island Red and the seller told me she was unsure of the breed of the first one and only knew it had some RIR in it at least. It lays a nice big brownish-red egg the same as the...

I had a perfectly happy chicken family up until last fall when I had another chicken attack by a dog belonging to a neighbor down the road. I lost my rooster and two hens leaving me seven hens all laying. The hens seemed to be very grieved for several days but after that seemed as if they had...

Does anyone have a picture of what the chickens may look like? My Buff is sitting on eggs and some are the Buff/Brown Sussex cross and some are pure Brown Sussex. A funny time for her to decide to brood I think but she did. I just recently about 3 weeks ago got my chickens into a better pen and...

I have seen my Buff Arlington catch field mice and show it off to the other chickens and play chase with them and then all of them instantly attack it and eat it together. I have been concerned that it may cause them disease. Is there some sort of treatment I should give them because while I may...
