Haha! But really our chickens are trained to eat mice. When the see one they go bonkers and chase it. It's really funny to watch!!

Thanks. But we already have them trained to kill the mice.

And the shop vac is helpful to get out a bunch of bugs.

Hi! We had a similar experience also. First I would take a vacuum and use it in the corners and in the nesting box. Also use Seven dust( lightly) or DE to help sanitize. Another thing to get is poultry protecter and use in corners. It is also important you make sure the building is ventilated...

Hello. My advice would to make sure the chick has a steady heat/light source and meticated feed. Also have warm or lukewarm water for the the chick not cold. Keep me posted! Thanks.

Hi! It is warming up here in Kansas and I was wondering if anyone has some good ideas for chickens to play and have tons of fun with. Thanks!

I am not sure what is going on, but I think it might be a good idea to separate them from the flock. And I would deep clean the coop even though they aren't mites or lice. if they all are getting bad I would give them all probiotic. Even if some seem to be okay I would still give them some. As...

Well I don't know yet because they are still young. But I bet they are!

Well this is just my opinion but I like Dominiques. They are very friendly and funny and curious! Whenever I crouch down and talk to them and just sit there they come up to me and let me pet them. They also will perch on your leg. They are a great bird and pet to have.

HI I am not sure what it is but I have read some of the other articles from BYC and here is some info that I found. Hard to say, then. Keep her separate and observe. Provide supportive care (plain yogurt, unfiltered ACV in her water, scrambled eggs for extra protein) and see if it progresses.-...

Sorry I looked and they are just 1 week older than I said. But still that's very early isn't it? Can a week make that big of a difference?

Wow. And now im getting a steady 3-4 eggs a day. I found out that my 3 month old leghorn is laying too!!

Wow! I wish I had a temp. logger like that. We have our incubator in a shed and whenever we go outside we look to see what the temp and humidity is. But before we put our eggs in we let the incubator run for about 2 days so we can make sure that we have the right temp and humidity. Our temp...

Yes. The rooster chase the girls down and does his business. And yes there are going to be 3 months tomorrow!! The 12 th.

Hello everyone. I have a very wild question for you!!! I have one silver laced wyandotte (toothless) about 1 1/2 yr old in a coop with 5 barred rock, Dominique, and buff orphington pullets which are only 3 months old. Along with a Cochin rooster, 2 pullet americanas, a...

I have some broody hens too, but once they get setting for a little while they stop and go to the box right beside them or just go back to normal. We might get started into turkey business. The neighbor that is letting me use her stuff is asking if we would incubate and raise some to mate. So...

The due date is the 31 of this month! Thank you for that story of your best hatch. I have done one batch before and set 18 eggs and got 10! That was with one of those Styrofoam incubators. It was a very neat experience. But this time I am using a industrial hatchery incubator that a friend is...

Hello all. Today I am super excited because I am incubating 42 eggs!! I am keeping a extensive log of all temperatures and humidity. With any luck these chicks will be a buff orphington/ red or black sex links! Any advice, opinions, stories, and/ or comments are very much welcomed!! Thanks and...

Yes. I am very very sorry for your loss. I wish I got on sooner. Sorry for your loss.
