    *** Lockdown starts today in my new Little Giant 9200 *** problems with Humidity

    If you have to put several wet sponges in the bator and fill all reservoirs to capacity. I've seen people wet sponges and line the entire outer ring of the bator. 46% humidity is very low and could give you a dry hatch. This may complicate your hatch rate. Dry hatching makes it very difficult...

    Cleaning out the coop - dust

    I use a shop vac in my coop at least once a month. My chickens are used to loud noises so it doesn't bother them, but YES definitely wear a dust mask. The first time I dusted my coop I didn't and ended up with dust pneumonia.

    I need help Identifying these bantams

    I've done some looking, and I would say that they are definitely crossed with a mille fluer. That's what they look like to me!

    Lethargic

    I had one act like that, and she had the beginnings of an impacted crop. I was able to turn her upside down and massage her crop. That worked. I began giving my geese chick grit and this has made a large difference and (knock on wood) no more issues.

    Requirements for Geese

    Hello there, I have 30 chickens and 3 African geese, so far. All of my chickens and geese stay in the same coop. I have a stock tank in the run for my geese, as they do get very grumpy when they don't get access to water. I feed Nutrena All Flock, and they do very well on that.

    My African geese (2 ganders) are sick what do I need?

    My suggestion would be for the lesions on the face, take them to a vet. I purchase a wormer from Murray McMurray Hatchery that is all natural and organic called WormGuard Plus with flaxseed. It's a feed through wormer that you mix in their feed. It's safe for chickens and geese, I myself have 3...

    I need help Identifying these bantams

    Hi there, I couldn't really get a good look, do they have feathered feet or clean? On first glance, the browner one looked like a Mille Fluer, but I would definitely not quote me on that.

    HELP!!! Cleaning baby chicks poo

    Use a Q-Tip and put a dab of olive oil around the chicks vent. The oil will prevent stool for sticking to the chicks down.

    Pasty Butt

    Use a Q-Tip and put just a dab of olive oil on her vent, this will help with stool build up. The olive oil doesn't give it a chance to stick to her down.

    Understanding my Chicks and Brooder Jumping

    In my experience, when they begin trying to jump out of there little environments, they need more room. I would definately suggest expanding their room. That would be one reason why they are jumping all over each other. The thing with pecking orders is you have to let THEM establish the order...

    Incubation Day 4 - not fertile!?

    Definitely wait at least until day 10, it just may be a late bloomer. I don't make any rash decisions before day 14 unless the eggs show signs of damage.

    incubator overheating

    Mine has done the same thing! Mine reached 110 for over 8 hours on day 7! I did have survivors and am watching the bator like a hawk right now. The eggs I have in now are on day 14 and the bator has not kept a consistent temperature yet. I'm just trying to get through this hatch, and I will be...

    Weird hen activity

    I had 2 dark brahmas go broody, 1 kept it up for the better part of 3 months. They began in January, and I didn't want to put eggs under them that soon. I gave both of them 6 eggs each at the beginning of March. They were consistent in setting on the eggs, but both froze them on day 12 by going...

    Boy, shipping eggs has been rough this year!

    I know exactly what you mean. I ordered 12 naked neck and 8 americauna eggs this last month. 1 of the eggs were cracked, but the rest were in good condition except 6 total had detached air sacks. I tried stabilizing the air sacks, but it didn't do any good. None of those did anything.
