    about to be born baby chicks

    Thanks so much for responding to my question. I'll do that. Bob has made a ramp from the next on down to the ground but it is at quite a slant and she hasn't been bothered by his working on it. I'll put some straw all around so they do ok. Thanks again and will let you know how many she has. Jan

    Broody and may die ?

    My little banty hen went broody during the ice storm a few weeks ago. I was amazed. Anyway, after the storm I took all the eggs out of there. The other hens were laying in there as well. She wasn't happy about my taking the eggs. My neighbor who got me into chickens wasn't too happy about...

    about to be born baby chicks

    My banty hen is sitting on eggs about 20 inches off the ground of the coop and is due this Thurs. Will the peeps be ok that high up? Should we move the eggs down to the straw? Should I put more straw in so they won't hurt themselves? The food and water is on the ground. Thanks for any...

    mille fleur bantam roosters

    I have 4 roos and 5 chicks- about 4 1/2 months old. I've advertised in the Peddler to sell 3 of the roos but am not sure which one to keep. I know their true colors come in after the first molt. Not sure when that will be. 3 of the roos have dark heads and one is still mostly yellow on the...

    3 wk old Banty chicks (15 of them)

    They are currently in a brooder in our little guest house. I turned the air conditioner on fan today because it has turned miserabley hot. The temp in their brooder is running around 85- 88. Their Banty house is ready for them but there is a window on only one side (north) and 2 holes up high...

    Whose been spurred???

    I hope this ends up where it belongs. I'm not sure if I"m typing in the right place. We were given 3 RIR 2 yrs. ago and they were small, medium, and large. None ever gave me any trouble and I knew nothing about birds then. We still have one (the smallest) but I just threw him out of the coop...
