    Ok so as an experiment, I have let my Bantam sit on an egg. Not sure of the timing, she has been sitting about 3 weeks. Well this morning the egg is chirping! Is this ok? will it pip on its own? First time hatching and egg and I just don't know if I should help or not. I know the general...

    Brooder or Coop?

    this is what we have going on it is a pretty "green" as it is all stuff we have around the house. This is the third group we have done in this manner, outside only in once or twice when it was VERY cold. Otherwise a little cardboard to block any wind (I agree with the earlier post, EXTREME...

    How long are eggs "safe" to eat

    So a little debate in the house. If I forget to collect eggs one day and collect them the next are they good? How long can they sit unrefrigerated before they should just be tossed? Thank you all in advance!!

    Four stray Roo's "appeared" in my yard this morning, need suggestions

    Thanks for all the help guys! I live on the "edge" of where the burbs end and a more rural area begins. Guess someone knew I had them and didn't consider the risks to my flock. I have culled 3 of them but the other is being more elusive, maybe he will just ease on down the road! Thank you...

They look quite healthy, I live in a sub urban area and this is what i suspect...

Not sure about eating them cause i did not feed them(I know don't wanna know what the ones at the grocery have been fed). What do you think should i be concerned if i do go that...
