I have a chick that hatched from the incubator yesterday that wasn't moving very well. At first I thought it was just tired but now it isn't really moving at all with the exception of it's beek and chest (breathing). It seems to be breathing weird too. Kind of slow. I have been giving it some...

I am so sorry. This heat is really getting to them. What worries me most is that it will be getting even warmer within the next few weeks.

Ok, I did not know Guineas helped with snakes. May be getting some now that I know that, but I don't know a thing about them! Are they anything like taking care of chickens and ducks??

I'm all for the adult ducks too! My husband LOVES duck eggs. We have 4 khaki Campbell and 3 Mallards. I thought I wasn't going to be buying anymore, but get this, HE told ME that I need to get more ducks! Shocked the fire out of me. I didn't know what to say but "ummm...... Ok Hun, I will see...

X2 on both if these! Kuntry the ducklings are just too darn cute!

Btw, I'm from East Central LA. I'm not near as experienced as most of the others here. They give great advice. Speaking of advice: I made me a chart for my incubator, well 2. One for candle day notes and the other for keeping track of when I turn my eggs and the temp/humidity at the time of...

Yay we won over another one! Lol. J/k. You will love this bunch! We all have a few screws loose. So what makes up your farm? Just chickens or other animals too? What breeds? Would Love pics!!

Ok first leashing Roos, now cats? Rofl! Sorry everyone, Maybe I'm the only one hear that has a dirty mind?

Thanks. I am sure hoping it is just heat related and not some type of contagious sickness. I am still taking precautions and giving them all electrolytes in their water for the next few days. All of them seem to be acting fine for now. But I know how quickly a sickness can come on so I have been...

Lost one of my EE pullets today. Think she got too hot. Checked her from head to toe and everywhere in between no injuries or signs of infection. Found her just laying around so I have her some electrolytes in a dropper because she was that weak. I even checked her poop and no unusual signs...

So glad he is ok!!!

Y'all, I just seen "I wish Noah would have swatted those 2 Mosquitos!" On a church sign and thought of how bad we have battled the knats and Mosquitos off our chickens and ourselves. Thought it was funny and would share.

Thank you. I am planning on setting one up before I add the eggs in. Right now I have 2 regular thermometers and 1 digital and they are all staying between 100 & 101.

Well I'm in Texas right now visiting my husband who will be working over an extra week. Glad to see him since it's been 2 weeks already, but I am pretty excited to get back home since I am going to add eggs into the incubator an give it my best shot. Everyone please wish me luck! I am so nervous...

Haha! Yea you know better than that girl! They really need to have it where you can order stuff online, because I found a few things I'm going to go back for in a few weeks.

Maybe it's time I add more?? Lol. Got a swap this weekend, so . . Who knows. My chicken fever may come on strong.

Haha! In glad we don't because in that case I only have 15. Lol!!

I'm glad he took to you so well. I hated to part with him since he was one of the first I'd got, but he was the odd ball of the bunch and didn't really seem "at home." Made it to College Station. . . Finally around 7 last night. Lol. Ended up stopping at our favorite store (Nichol's) after...

I would think that many males with only one female will cause a problem because each one of the males will be mounting the female or at least trying which will exhaust if not injure her. Best bet would be to add more females or take away a male or two.

We could do it the 12th or 13th? Petrus feed? Sometime after 1?
