    Preditor eating chicken head and neck

    I have lost three laying hens over the last 5 days. The predator eats or takes with it the head and whole neck. The body is left intact. What predator would would do this? I believe wild animals would eat the whole chicken. There are a couple of stray male cats in our community and I...

    Hatching in process - a question

    I tried to separate the sitting hen from the hen-house where others lay eggs, but the hen refused to be relocated. I built a small run area and little house for her but she would not sit and continually got out and abandoned the eggs in the little house, going into the main house and sitting on...

    Double yolk eggs

    Unfortunately I don't know how to transfer pics from my old cellphone to my computer in order to post it. I will try to take a picture but can't promise when it will be accomplished. My daughter is visiting in just over a week, perhaps she can do it for me.

    Double yolk eggs

    Both are healthy. Almost identical, but not entirely. Both smaller than the other chicks.

    Double yolk eggs

    I have a white leghorn which lays double yolk eggs about every other day. One of her eggs was put under the hen which just hatched 5. There were 9 eggs in total, but only 4 hatched. So, I have twins. I put 2 double yolk eggs under the currently sitting hen and am hoping they also hatch. Is...

    Hens not laying eggs well.

    I have 12 hens, one hatched 5 about a week ago. Another will hatch in about 2 weeks. The other hens are only laying 4 to 7 eggs a day although 2 months or so ago I was getting 9 or more. I use laying mash and were also giving them oats and corn. They seem to be getting fat and lazy although...

    Pecking behavior

    She didn't have to sit on the eggs but did, so perhaps she will try to complete the hatch. I will keep her separated but that means she will not be fertile which is OK as I would rather have larger hen's eggs. Again, I sincerely thank you for your reply and suggestions.

    Pecking behavior

    Thank you. I noticed when the chickens began going into the coop for the night she went into the doghouse and is sitting on the eggs although it is plenty big enough to where she did not hav

    Pecking behavior

    I have a banty and 11 larger hens (one rooster). The banty is the bottom of the pecking order and was bloodied around the comb and beak. She took refuge in a laying box and then decided to be broody. I put 5 eggs under her but noticed every time she tried to eat one of the other chickens...

    Broody bantam

    Thank you for your input. I may let her sit on a couple of eggs, but if they hatch will the chicks freeze before they get adequate feathers?

    My leukemia's back.

    In my last post I suggested people research the information. Here are two sources for researching any medical issue. www.greenmedinfo.com and www.pubmed.gov. No more suggestions from me. Good luck to all.

    My leukemia's back.

    This will be my last post on this issue. You are right about the doctors. They really want to help their patients. But they were educated by medical schools controlled by the pharmaceutical companies which only care about their bottom line. If you don't believe me, just follow the money. I...

    My leukemia's back.

    It is good that you are in remission and I congratulate you. But that doesn't change the fact you need to do a LOT of research outside conventional medicine. While the cancer symptoms may be reversed, radiation and chemo does not kill the cancer's stem cells. Yes, a lot of people are...

    My leukemia's back.

    Leukemia is a cancer and cancer can be healed - but not by conventional medicine. Many natural cures (which work) are available. I suggest you watch The Cure for Cancer documentary, The cure for all diseases documentary or one of the other many documentaries on non-conventional medicine...

    Broody bantam

    I live in South Eastern, NC which has mild winters but February can get very cold. So far this year we have had very mild weather. It was supposed to get down to the teens this past weekend but barely got below freezing. It has dropped into the teens in past years but generally for only a few...
