    Texas heat

    During the summer my girls lay off laying because of the heat. The last few days have ranged from 103 to 108. We have a little pool for them, overhead mister, a fan in their coop and I freeze gallon jugs to put in their water. They are still having a hard time. I feed them watermelons and...

    Heat Exhaustion in Texas

    Texas has been in the 105 to 108 range. My little bantam rooster was acting just fine during the day and when we went to tuck them in for the night my husband found him on the ground with ants on him. We brought him in and have been nursing him back to health. We have been giving him water with...

    Can you put incubated chicks in with a broody hen?

    We have 5 new chicks not even 24 hours old from an incubator. We also have a broody hen sitting on more eggs that should hatch anytime. The hen went broody right after we set our eggs. Could we place the new chicks in with the broody hen? Would she adopt them? I didn't know if she would...

    Thank y'all so much. This has really made me a nervous reck tonight. I feel so responsible for her. She is laying on her stomach, but she has had a hard time of it. She has a funny butt though. We aren't sure what to make of it. Minnie and I thank you again.

    Over 24 hrs. should I help her?

    I took her out and gently removed the stuck membrane. She slipped out of the shell as I was doing it. Now she is back in the incubator all curled up. I hope I did the right thing. I didn't want to do harm. :(

    Help! Over my hatch date!!

    We started our eggs in the incubator on January 14th, but the little peeps haven't come out yet. I candled them quickly this morning and at least one of them was still moving. We thought they would have hatched by now. Do you think they will hatch? Is it unusual for them to go past their...

    Eye Injury

    This morning as I was cleaning out my coop I found a trail of feathers. So probably something did get my precious bird. I is good to have closure. I was afraid she got sick and I wasn't paying attention. Although that means we need to be on alert more. Thanks again for your help.

    Eye Injury

    Thank you for being so concerned, but she past away during the night. She was such a pretty sweet girl. My little daughter ask about her this morning. We told her right away. Her comment was, "She is all healed up now." We can't ask for more than that.

    Eye Injury

    Today my son found our Barnevelder laying on the ground with her eye swelled up. She was fine just 30 minutes before, so we aren't sure what has happened to her. Cocoa is a pullet about 9 months old. She is apart of a flock of 17. She keeps swinging her head gently from side to side. We...
