Hi, We have the metal frame for an 8' x 10' greenhouse that I am wanting to convert into a small coop/grow out pen but I am not sure how. I am sure everyone has seen these greenhouses, they sell them at Lowes. Metal tubing for the frame and covered with plastic with zippered doors. We had...

Our tiny Chocolate Orpington chick somehow has gotten a broken wing. It is broken at the first bend in the wing at the top. Compound fracture bone poking out. I removed her from her Mom (she is an only chick) and wrapped it as best I could. I tried strapping it down to her body but she...

I am sure that this question has been asked a million times but I cant seem to find an answer. I have a few eggs under a broody and they were due to hatch yesterday. Well one hatched just fine but the other two have done nothing. At last candleing at day 15 they were fine and kicking, I candled...

I had ordered some hatching eggs and had planned on incubating them but as luck would have it I have and 2 hen go broody just in time. YEA! The first hen is a Belgian D'uccle and actually she has hatched one before so I am not so worried about her and the second is a novice Blue Copper Marans...

I have a hen that had to be removed from the flock due to a severe pecking injury to her head. I am not sure what happened but I think the severity of the injury is due to the fact that our Turkey at least was involved at some point. I brought her in and assessed the injury, which was pretty...

I AM STARTING TO GET WORRIED, we are in lockdown and there are a few pips but one chick is VERY active, rockin and rollin away and cheeping up a storm but still has not pipped and it has been at least 5 hours of this activity. So my question is... how long should I wait before I at least open...

Our flock was out freeranging today and I went out to check on them and saw fresh blood drops on the back porch, not alot just like someone walked by dripping. I quickly made the rounds and checked everyone visually and noticed that our Rooster, Rory, had completly torn one of his spurs off! I...

Hi, I got a call for someone a couple of weeks ago who didn't plan properly for their chicks.... and the DOG. Anyway....... to save her life I agreed to take in little Orphan Taylor since I have some chicks about the same age but I can't figure out what breed she is. SHe came from Atwoods but...

We are just about done with our first ever hatch and we couldn't be more proud of our Little Mutts. what do ya think?

Well we have had our first chick hatch just this evening and we are so excited. The one thing that worries me is that the one chick is just wallering all over the incubator rolling all the other eggs around... Is this going to be a problem? Or should I just quit worrying and trust nature. I am...

Well after losing a whole batch to an incubator malfunction we reset eggs and started over. Lockdown started today and I am already a nervous wreck.... I am sitting on my hands and vow to let nature do the work but I need some hand holding. This is our first time incubating and everything has...

Here is our coop and run, we are trying to figure out a way to cover at least part of the run so the chickens have some shelter from the rain and snow. Would a hoop design work? Using PVC and a tarp or plastic? The run is approx 20'W x 30'L. Any ideas? The less expensive the better of course.

Hi, I am pretty much a newby....have had my chickens for about a year now and am thinking about getting an incubator to try a little hatching.... So, what is the best, not too expensive, incubator out there? I am disabled and am home all day so don't really think I need an automatic turner...or...

We just got home from a week away for the holiday, we left our furry and feathered kids with a sitter and everything went great. We let the flock put of the run for some much needed free range time and went about our business getting things squared away around the house. Well, i was in the...

I make several trips out to collect eggs during the day and have been waiting for one of my EEs to lay, there have been a few that may have been pink but my BRs are so light in color I am thinking it was them. Well today I went out after lunch and just look at the beauty I found! I am thinking...

Well, our girls are eating layer feed, have oyster shell free choice and free range several hours a day. The problem is every morning I am finding 2 broken jelly eggs right under the roost. This has been going on for over a week now. I am not sure which of our 18 hens it is but is there...
