    Can I add baby chicks to a mama that has 2 week old chicks?

    I had 4 chicks that I hatched in the brooder then my broody hen (not sure the breed, some sort of game hen maybe) hatched 10 eggs. The kittens were chasing the babies, so we brought mom and babies inside and put them in the brooder with the 4 that were already in there...they were maybe a week...

    Eggs hatched (Pictures)

    I hatched Auracanas today, too. Bought from a member here. Out of the 13 I received, 11 developed, and 5 hatched. I didn't bother to crack the others to see how far they got. I just tossed them. But when I candled on day 18, all of the shells were good and full.

    Duck Eggs Day 26, power outage, what do you think???

    It's day 22 on some eggs that I've got in the bator that got unplugged not once but TWICE this cycle. And both time the temp dropped to 78 degrees before I realized that it was unplugged. I thought for sure these eggs were goners, but low and behold late last night they started pipping. I had...

    Chick toes PICS!

    HA! I found the culprit. It seems that big daddy White Rock is not the daddy after all. We have another rooster, a bantam, that I though didn't stand a chance with the big guy's girls. But I went and looked and sure enough the little guy has 5 toes, too. I have no idea what breed he...

    6 hens, will only use one nesting box

    I have 9 hens and they all lay in one box. I have tried everything but they don't want to lay anywhere but that one box. I give up.

    Question regarding free range chickens

    My chicken free range on my 1 acre fenced with no problem. There's actually nothing keeping them in the fence since it's livestock fence and only 4ft high (it's mostly for the goats). But for the most part they all stay where I want them too.
