    how to hatch a chick from a cup link inside

    The video I saw they put the egg in a cup that had stretched cling wrap draped down in it. The fertilized egg was put in the cup/ cling wrap and more cling wrap with tiny holes is put over the top. The chick hatched. Not sure of the hatch rate though. I'd love to try it at home.

    Rate this food for me

    This is a new food a friend recommended. I'm not sure if it's good or not. $15 for 100lbs. Cheaper than crumbles i use now but it's it ok? I feed scraps and fodder also. This won't be their only source of nutrition. Thanks

    Ducks wont go in my pond

    That's a great idea. They love food! I think they are having an identity crisis. They think they are chickens.

    Ducks wont go in my pond

    I wish mine would do that! I have to force them out of the pen and to the water. They sit on the very edge just waiting to get back up to the pen. We have an acre pond with a floating duck house and large dock. I was excited to get ducks. Should have researched more I guess.

    Ducks wont go in my pond

I now keep the last two in with the chickens. This is not what I wanted. I wanted ducks for the lake not...

    Building my coop and carpenter is confusing me about ventilation.

    This was my first post. Thanks for all the help! I don't want to screw up their coop before they even get in it, I cant wait to get the coop finished up this weekend so I can put the girls into their new condo. They are living in a 10 x 10 dog pen now. They might be more excited than I am!

    Building my coop and carpenter is confusing me about ventilation.

    I haven't put my window in yet. so now is a great time to get advise! are you saying they should be placed on the North and East walls? Would it be possible to add vents to the floor so cool air could be drawn from underneath the shed and out and up the ridge vent? My husband feels like I...

    Building my coop and carpenter is confusing me about ventilation.

    6 chickens for far =) southern Indiana I just had a barn built this weekend. Its an 8x12 storage barn with a 10 foot lofted barn shaped ceiling. I paid for a ridge vent to go all the way across the top and 2 grill vents to go on each gable end at the top. My builder said that this set up will...
