Hi guys, I have just ordered some silkies, 4 chicks (1 white and 3 blue) that are 6 weeks old, and 3 chicks (2 white and 1 blue) that are just a few days old. I'm very happy about them, and can't wait for them to arrive. But I have a little problem, I need to make coop that will be good for...
Exactly like these, their colonies are under the roosts. I don't have any pictures. Now, because it's pretty cold outside, they are not active, so they don't reproduce. But when I burnt them with some kinda blazing torch, I achieved biggest success in removing them. I will stay with this method. 😁
Hi guys, I have been rising chickens for about 5 or 6 years now. I have been constantly having trouble with red mites, there is no chemical or anything else that I didn't use to get rid of them, but no success. Last year I tried to burn them with something like this
I was able to remove them...
Hi guys, I have some booted bantams, I really love them. Lately i was wondering how would look mix of booted bantams and silkies. Did anybody try this before, if you had, can you post pictures, I'm very curious.
Hi, thank you for your reply. I brood inside of a bilding, it's not isolated, so it's cold inside, but it protect chicks from predators. Temperatures are around 5-10°C at daytime, and under 0°C at night, outside the building. It's maybe 7-8 degrees warmer inside of whatever temperature is...
My favourite breed is Mandarin duck, they are not very friendly, but they are magically beautiful. I had a pair, but someone stole them last year, because they are very expensive here. I have Muscovies and some mixbreed domestic now. They are both lovely.
Same thing happened to my hen. Dog bit off large piece of flash under her left wing. I just cleaned it with some hydrogen peroxide 3% and just let it recover. She is alright now, hope it will be same with you hen.
Hi, maybe it's problem with components in indubator, it could be heater or thermostat. You should technically check you incubator. Or it could be due to cold weather. What temperature is the room that your incubator is placed?
Don't get me wrong, but I don't see problem here, only for wings (it could be due to stress), she is probably not laying because she is making "pause" or due to cold weather. Hope everything will be fine.
Hi, I have been hatching chicks for last 2 years, so I will tell you everyting I know.😁
First things first, you will need to have rooster with your hens (1 rooster with around 10 hens) for your eggs to be fertile. Next thing is that you shouldn't let eggs be in extreme hot or cold temperatures...
Hi guys, I been hatcing and selling chicks for past 2 years, and i haven't ever made a good brooder for my chicks, it was always some shitty wooden box. Can you give me ideas, pictures or anything else that could help me to make some good brooder for around 50 chicks? Just one thing, I'm on very...
Hi, I'm a "little" bit late with response.😂 They have been trying all summer to hatch chicks, but they didn't success. They been laying 3-5 eggs every month and a half or two, and they were laying on them, but nothing hatched. They are not laying eggs now, since November (or i think so), but...
Good news! I have just seen the male carring some feathers and twigs into the nesting box, but female just stand on pearch and watch him. Is that normal? Does she need to help him or not?
