    Lonely Chicks

    Kids, I have found your solution. Mom says you can only have one? Well tell her your friend on BYC said that that is a terrible idea. Why? Because chickens are social at birth, and they need companionship. When Einstein, my day old (as of 8/13/16) Araucauna was born*, she was very lonely. She...

    Unfortunately...you know what comes after that. Mr. Curly Toes lived a short life, and we are back to two chicks instead. Thanks for your input. Here's a pic:

    I can hear him but I can't see him...

    Awesome! All three just happened to be shrink wrapped (I had 4 eggs, 1 infertile) so I helped those out too. The one from yesterday and a new one are doing fine, but I'm worried about one. His assist didn't go so well, because he pipped too early and in the wrong place. He's not breathing well...

    I can hear him but I can't see him...

    UPDATE: I noticed the chick stopped cheeping, so I decided to give him some help. I used scissors to make a crack in the egg WITHOUT hurting the chick! Then, I used a seamripper to make a further incision where the first was. Once I could see inside the egg clearly, I noticed that I had been...

    I can hear him but I can't see him...

    That baby is IN THERE. I just know it. When I got home, he was peeping, peeping, peeping. But not pipping. He has been talking all day but hasn't made any progress. This is my first hatch where this happened, so I have no clue what to do. Only because I know you'll ask me, yes, I did open the...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    I had a Wyndotte who was broody for a couple days. I put dummies under her but as soon as the egs arrived that I had ordered for her, she was no longer broody. Luckily, I had my bator. Learn from my experience and always have backup if you order for a broody hen.

    New babies

    You know what, I'd say go for it. She might, might not. And if she doesn't, you could just take care of the chicks yourself.

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    I am also a beginner on the broody method. My Silver Lace Wyndotte went broody, but she has not yet come in contact with a roo. So, I collected the real eggs while they were fresh and swapped them for training eggs. I ordered some Swedish Flower Hen eggs from eBay this morning and they'll arrive...

    Wild birds getting in my coop every day now

    The owl might scare the chickens, so I'd say no to that. It is illegal, at least where I live, to kill migratory birds without permission. The best idea is to leave them be as to not get in trouble, and maybe some type of motion-senored light would work. I just have to deal with our Wren, and...

    Wild Birds in the Coop ~ What to Expect

    Weird! We see Juncos in Fall, Winter, and early Spring. I was forced to kill a large number of Sparrows due to their aggressiveness towards our cows. FYI, I got permission from the Florida Fish & Game. After that, they DID NOT come back, thank God! Last year, before the Sparrow massacre (he he)...

    Who do I have here?

    I agree completely. Understanding the balance between man and nature is important in this situation.
