I was wondering about the alternatives that I can use other then hay for my chickens and doves where they can lay their eggs. I just want to have something soft but easily accessible.
THere are these little black and brownish tiny mite things on my chickens. The chickens now have a pretty big patch of red skin on their backs with no feathers in the patch. How do I get rid of these pests?! Please help!
I live in Florida but it still gets pretty cold down here. LAst winter it went down to the low twenties. Will Rhode Island reds do ok in temperatures that cold?
A WHOLE batch? That's got to be a pain, I think the eggs were rotten because the chickens haven't been mating lately much. I don't know how to put up a picture, haha.
Should I keep spraying the eggs with water too keep up humidity? And I don't have a standard incubator, I only have a 100 watt bulb, a bix plastic box, and a cover with a couple small holes in it (small as in 2 inches). What else should I do ? This is day 18 and lockdown, should I do anything...
