I have a hen who has been sitting on eggs for 4 weeks with no sign of hatching any time soon. I have 4 chicks that were hatched in an incubator 4 days ago. What are the odds I could slip these babies under the mamma and have her raise them as her own?

My chickens seem to be wandering a bit this year and have taken to the neighbor's flower beds. Is there anyway we can safely keep them from digging in her flowers? Thanks

Not sure if it's related to crop stasis but we always lose 1 or 2 turkeys every year. I know they're more delicate than chicks but it just seems to be the norm. We've had better luck with BBB than whites.

Saw these two cuties today and couldn't pass them up - nobody knew the breed though. Any ideas??

We tried dusting - it was messy, I wasn't sure I was truly getting it under their wings and I was concerned about breathing the dust - even though I wore a mask. After A LOT of research this is what we found and it truly works. It's fast and effective. You need two things and preferably...

You need two things and preferably two people. 1) Ivermectin pour on for cattle (yes, I know you've got chickens - make sure it's the pour on and not the injectable) and 2) a medicine dropper (you can pick one up from your local pharmacy if you don't have one). You can get the Ivermectin at...

We had an Araucana pullet who was missing for three days - gave her up for gone when all the sudden she's back. ??? A few weeks later our roo did the same thing. Don't know where they're going but they seem to find they're way home.

Does anyone know how often you can apply the Ivermectin and how fast it works? We're heading to fair in three weeks and just found out we have lice. Thanks!!

Would you consider letting a hen go too to make a breeding pair?

We're looking for some Quail Antwerp Belgian Bantams, perferably chicks to be shipped in mid-February to Michigan, aprx 6 - 8. We would consider eggs. Please contact me at [email protected] if you will have chicks or eggs available at that time. Thanks Denise

I am so VERY happy that these are both girls!!!!! We'll attempt a breeding next spring if anyone is interested.

We thought this was a silver seibright but there's no rose comb like the other two. Any ideas??

Seriously 2 pullets!!! YEAH!!!! I was hoping to at least get 1 out of the pair. We seem to get all the boys.
