I brood chicks myself, with the occasional broody raising a small number. Good to know, thanks. @ChocolateMouse best meme ever. And the muscovies sound like the perfect plan. ;)

Omg the Instagram and tinder ones. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Me too but I failed and didn’t include soil from the chicken area this time. Im Treating the meat birds with Corid. @ChickenCanoe has been incredibly insightful.

Cutie!!! I only asked because I would just make a cage over the eggs that aren’t due so you can still get to the hatching ones. I could be wrong.... but I think I’ve seen @aart post a cage before made out of hardware cloth and zip ties? If she did, I’d bet money she has it bookmarked to...

BURN IT DOWN! I know this is a serious thought but that just made me chuckle a bit. okay so two questions I have....one Because I’m moving too. do you have any concerns for what happens when you move to an area where you don’t know what’s prevalent? also to anyone else here, and I hope this...

That waterer is so perfect.

My meat birds are on a probiotic and electrolyte their entire lives with minerals for their legs. I have however been experimenting with feeders and feed amounts because they were wasting a ton of feed. I did note today looking back through all of my notes that these chickens were the first...

I sort of hope it comes out early then because Brahma chicks are some of the CUTEST things ever. :oops: :wee

Please nitpick!!! Thank you. after a week old, all my birds are in the same barn, with different coop/run combos. I keep a pair of chicken shoes that I only wear on my property. So when an adult builds a resistance to the species of coccidia in their direct environment, is that like an all or...

I often have 48 hours from internal pip to hatch with no issues at all. Fingers crossed that they’ll just take their sweet time absorbing the yolk! ducks are the SLOWEST and worst. I hatched them for the first time this year and I was a total wreck! They’ll pip externally and wait 48 hours to...
