    I need advice ASAP please...egg in nest hatched!

    She is very protective of the chick, she has not left the nest and really went after me when I moved her to see what was under there. I was so shocked to see a tiny, fuzzy baby.

    I need advice ASAP please...egg in nest hatched!

    My bantam hen has been sitting on an egg for about three weeks and lo and behold, the egg hatched (today, I think). It was just one egg and I never actually expected it to hatch but thought I'd let her give it a shot. She is in the rabbit hutch coop inside the chicken run with my bantam...

    Our TSC is getting chicks in today....uh-oh

    The TSC down the road from us sold out of pullets in five hours. My ds and I were there to pick up a few things and they had just received the order and were placing them in the tubs. We went back later in the afternoon to get some pullets and they were all gone. Tears were shed.

    Sick Roo

    I found this thread because my bantam roo has just today developed blackened tips on his comb. What is this indicative of? I am at a total loss as to what could be wrong. It is hot so no frostbite. Darin, how has your rooster been since your last post? Can someone please point me in the...
