    What was the first egg you hatched?

    My first attempt was with a turkey egg that I wasn't sure was even fertile, she hadn't been with the boys in a little while. I knew nothing about hatching and didn't even have an incubator. I'm sure you could guess, nothing hatched. Then, I tried chickens and only got one out of 7 eggs. Luckily...

    Should mom with one wing hatch?

    thank you, she definitely has lots of energy. She always starts jumping around and chirping when I left them free range and yesterday she chased away a crow! I really hope she goes broody because I think she will be a great mom:fl

    Should mom with one wing hatch?

    Hey everyone! I have a bourbon red turkey hen who only has one wing. She will be laying soon and I was wondering what yall think about letting her hatch her own chicks. She is very healthy and looks like she could handle it. The only reason I'm asking is because I know it is a lot of work for...

    Bourbon red turkey. Male or female?

    Thank you, She had a companion that passed away and so I'm looking for a new one but I wanted to know what she was because I didn't really want to get a tom and then have two fighting toms.

    Bourbon red turkey. Male or female?

    Hey everyone. I have a turkey who is about 4 and a half months now (I think) and I can't tell what it is. I think it could be a girl because of its nose piece(I forget what it's called) It hasn't gobbled yet but it struts when my French bulldog is out. It seems like he/she is trying to protect...

    1st Hatch Help...1 Pip facing floor of incubator and 1 wrong end

    Stay calm and give it 24 hours before going to help. I have never had one pip face down so I can't give you much help with that. However, I just hatched some chicks last week and had one pip at the wrong end. It had been over 24 hours and still no progress. So I cracked the shell off so that it...

    Advice for broody and rooster!

    Hello everyone, I have a broody hen who has been sitting for 15 days. It's almost lockdown day so I need to move her out of the coop. However, it's just her and the rooster. I am wondering if he will be okay alone for about a week while she's hatching eggs and raising them. Also, has anyone ever...

    Will a shaked up egg hatch?

    Hey there. What I would do is candle them and make sure the air sack is in its normal place. If it is they should be okay. Since they had poop on them they might not have been very fresh making them have a lower chance to grow. However, I wouldn't worry to much about it. Candle them on day seven...

    does my goat have mites?

    Hey everyone, yesterday I went outside to check on my goats and make sure they were well and healthy. Thats when I noticed my doe had hair loss on her back legs. There was also scabbing. It looks like its only on the outside of her legs and its below her "knees". She doesn't seem to be itching...
