I have having a horrendous time with my new NR 360 and humidity.
For context, I'm in south Texas with 80% humidity, however this incubator is inside.
I am struggling to maintain a constant steady humidity. Every time I refill even a tiny bit, it swings up to 60% and then a few hours later...
I have a hen eating eggs. I caught her, egg handed, the other day, after noticing wet spots in the nesting boxes, and one or two broken eggs, over a few days.
I immediately removed her, and she's in isolation so no one else picks up the habit, but is there anything I can do to stop her, or is...
Hey all, new chicken lady here.
So I have a mixed flock.
4 1 year old hens
9 15 week old hens
2 12 week old hens
My older ladies prefer to free range, and will refuse to lay unless they get to free range.
The older ladies were a gift from a neighbor who let them roam, and I started penning...
The 2 roos I have do just fine together, and have for awhile now. I think it's because my silkie is an absolute pushover.
If I had to pick just one though, it's my big red roo, Stowaway. I'd fight people over that bird. He's so, so good to his ladies, and polite with me.
Hey all, so I have a small mystery on my hands.
I purchased a rainbow egg assortment from Ideal Poultry.
I got what I assume is a cuckoo maran.
However, at 15 weeks, despite her coloring, she's looking suspiciously roostery to me.
Her comb and wattles are turning red and large. She has...
I'm glad you like his collar. We do a lot of formal dinners for my husbands job, and as my service dog, Dovah has to go. So he needed something snazzy to wear.
He's average sized for the breed. He's 18 months old and about 55 lbs. He will probably fill out to be a few pounds heavier.
He can be an absolute crackhead. But he has a day job, and works 8-10 hours a day as my medical alert dog. So he's not as bad as he could be.
Overall, I really enjoy...
I don't know, it's a new to me brand.
I had to swap feed stores. I used to get purina, but this brand is MG? It seems to be a local texas brand. 20% protein.
Hey, so I had a mixup at the feed store.
I asked for Grower, I got starter, didn't realize until I got home.
I have 10 girls who are 15 weeks old, and 4 girls who are a year old, and two roosters.
I leave oyster shell out for all to have freely.
Can I feed this bag, or do I need to return it?
This is Stowaway.
I'm trying to get breed, and age on him.
My best guess is a brown leghorn, and I'm assuming he's on the younger side based on the smaller spurs?
