Need ideas! I have different laying breeds, (buff orpingtons, barred rock, etc.) and other breeds like silver laced Cochin and Wyandotte (those are my hens). I'm getting some chicks, silkies, cochin, and assorted layers. I could keep a rooster back from one of those breeds.. maybe silkie? Thanks!

I have one cow that is a runt and is only about the size of a Nubian goat. I am planning on getting two weaning does (Nubian) around August and put the cow in with them. What should I feed the three? I'm going to take the goats to a local farm to get bred yearly so there won't be a billy living...

I had 5 turkeys, and through the 2 weeks I've had them, 4 have died for different reasons. (Heat lamp got shut off one day, one died first day due to hard trip) So now I'm done to one. Will he live ok by himself? He's about 2-3 weeks old. The turkey is a Narragansett. Thanks

I have 20 3 month old pullets that live with my laying hens. They have access to flock raiser and they get into the layer feed too. Will the layer feed hurt them? They have been eating it for a few weeks now along with their flock raiser. I'm going to sell them soon as layers so they won't be...

My chick eggs are on Day 12 and I candled them. One of the eggs air sack was visible at the top, but part of it looked busted and like it floated around the egg.. I candled before and this just happened. Will this effect the growth or hatch? The outside of the egg is not broke.

Once my chicks get out of the brooder, can I put them with my older hens? I have a dog kennel that is 12 by 7 that they can go in temporarily. My hen house is 10.5 by 7.5 feet and the run is 34 by 16 but it slants so it isn't a square. I have 14 hens and 1 rooster in the coop now. I have 31...

I need fencing ideas! What will keep 2 month old chicks in? I'm going to have 25 and I have DOGS. If fencing for young chicks is going to be hard to make, I might be able to build something for my older hens and put the chicks in my chicken tractor which I know is predator-proof. I have a roll...
