Paige, our new puppy, is a biter. She loves to nibble on people and she has very sharp teeth! She is a dauchshund/boston terrier mix. Paige also loves to attack my chickens. I haven't let the chickens out since we got Paige. Twice I opened the coop door and she darted in and grabbed ahold of my...

An incubator for sale. apparently its never been used and its 30 dollars. still air by little giant. should I get it? or wait until a better deal?

All of a sudden my hen had all this thick saliva stuff dripping out of her mouth and her thin eyelid was closing. What does this mean?

I have five Bantam hens. A few months ago I took in a sixth hen, well the past month i've been keeping her in a smaller cage within the coop (trying to get them used to each other) well I also have noticed that my first five hens are missing a few feathers on their necks. I saw them fighting...

All my hens are attacking each other. They were all fine and good. But now they are attacking each other. For the past couple of weeks I have noticed missing feathers on their necks. I have no idea why. One hens combs starting bleeding today.

I've always had this dream to one day build an aviary. Well now I have a chance to build one and I want it to be the best I can possibly make it. I love muscovies so that's what will be housed inside. So far the measurments are around 12' long x 7' wide x 6' tall. I want to build a pond inside...

I really want to hatch some scovies and I want to try to have a good hatch rate. I have never incubated before, but I might try incubating some chicken eggs before so that I can get a feel for it. I'm trying to stay organized about this, so I made a chart in Excel to help me stay on track with...

Anyone ever build an aviary out of metal by welding and such? Please post pics if you have any examples

I am building a duck aviary around my dalbergia sissoo, but is it poisonous for ducks or other birds? Will it be ok to have in the middle of my cage?

So I am going to build a 12' long x 7' wide x 6' tall enclosure for about three muscovies. Is this enough room? The enclosure is being built around a tree (dalbergia sissoo, is it safe?) . Also what kind of floor do they need? I wanted to put a small pond, but it might just end up being a kids...

I have all bantams: a silkie hen, a brahma hen, two old English game hens, and a silver sebright hen. Can I keep button quails with my five small bantams? I an thinking about hatching some button quails

Where can I get true Ameraucana hatching eggs? All I can seem to find are EE's

So I order some chicken hatching eggs, they arrive and I let them sit for 24 hrs to settle (Do I turn them 5 times a day still?). Day 1-18: Temp: 99-100 F , Humidity: 50-55% , turn five times a day Day 19-21: Temp 99-100 F , Humidity: 58%, stop turning How often do I candle? I am still in...

Ok so I'm going to hatch some Muscovy eggs soon but I don't exactly know what the temp and the humidity need to be for them? I'm trying to make a chart so that I can keep track of everything when I start incubating.

I'm making an incubator. What kind of watt bulb do I use?

I am building an incubator and I found 4 never used light bulbs but I don't if they will work. Here's what the box says: "A19. 120V. 1000 hrs." ; "71 watts" ; "Lumens:1050" ; "RoHScCompliant". Ok so I know nothing about what type of lightbulb to use in an incubator. Will these work? If they...

Does anyone have any test eggs that are free except for the price of shipping I can use on my new incubator? I am not picky about what kind. Although I'd prefer bantams, its fine if they aren't. I would really love to test my new incubator and see what happens.

Just found a chick in my coop and all the other chickens pecked it! Please help! It's barely alive and it's bleeding. A lot of it's down is missing under it's wings and on it's neck. I know it will most likely die but what can I do to try tohelp the little guy live!?!?
