I have a hen sitting on eggs. One hatched yesterday afternoon Just wondering if they would hatch at night or wait until the next day. I wouldn't think only one egg would hatch I have two roosters most should be fertile. What y'all think ?
I know a mama hen will protect babies form most animals. But what about a snake. I want to let mama raise the chicks in a separate pen but not sure if she will protect from a snake , which is my only concern what y'all think ?
That's a great idea. Was looking for some kind of trap. Have seen two in coop and lost a young silkie last night to a snake. It tried to eat it but the chick must have been too big.
i ran into some molded scratch feed. i did not know the heat would cause it to mold. do yall think if i put my next bag in my freezer it will keep it from molding and still be ok to feed the hens.
i have had my hens for about 6 months now. i have yet to have anything get into my coop but just the last two weeks i have been seeing a fox around.when i built my chicken coop i had two options on where to build it.i decided to build it close to my dog pens which has 12 hounds in them.the...
After 5 months that hen has started laying . Guess it takes some longer to settle in than others. . If it won't for my wife she probably would have been dinner by now.
There is a farmer in my area wanting to sell some rir. How much is a laying hen going for. I don't want to pay way to much for them. Thanks for any help.
