    Mean Roosters!

    This is a good thread for someone who has had a beloved roo that went to the dark side :( My first hatch included this chick that stood out from the rest. Always the first to jump into your hands and just really stands out and craves humane attention.. I of course had no clue if it was a roo...

    call duck question we live on a river would they be gone first chance?

    Thanks everyone.............. I guess I knew the answer already. I think I was just hoping that by some slim slight chance maybe they had a strong homing instinct????You know go play in the water and then go to coop when tired and hungry like chickens. So I guess until I build a nice size duck...

    call duck question we live on a river would they be gone first chance?

    I really like these little ducks but am afraid they would be gone first chance unless penned 24/7. We are in florida and live on the withlacoochee river and we also have springs that come down the side of our property. So we are surrounded by water, my chickens don't go near the water when they...

    Oh no Shayna................ your incubator died on you while in your final hatch.......... crap........... At least you had another going.Is there an egg turner in? That will probubly be ok if you pull the newly hatched out right away. With my luck they would end up under it. I guess thats...

    My Eggs are Cheeping! Due to Hatch 12/4!

    We are at 4 hatched and running around. It is really interesting to watch them hatch, they finally shake the shell free then land on the bottom of the wire rack wet and limbs that don't really function correctly, squalling!! You can't help but fell sorry for them , all alone then they finally...

    Thanks Melissa, I just checked out that incubator on Amazon( love amazon) It is cool but the reviews are not real good. The temps are not even through out ,that is the same reason I lost chicks with my hovabator with no fan. My hovabator with the fan works ok but still temperamental. I think my...

    Day one on the road to becoming smoke free.

    I also did the chantix thing. It worked really good for me. I was a 2 pack a day smoker for over 30 years and knew I could not do it on my own. I quit after the first week then took it for another week and said I don't need these pills any more...... I took the remaining pills to a co-worker...
