    Dead rooster! NO eggs!

    Yup, they are free range, car did not drive into the coop ;)... Already tried keeping them in for a day, no eggs.... All six hens stopped at once, very strange....

    A car got him! He was an extremely aggressive rooster, very protective of his hens.....

    Float test ?? I buried them in the garden two days ago. What is the float test? It may come in handy for these last two eggs I have in the incubator ( day 22) ......thnx P.S.The mirror is brilliant!

    yikes, what to do?

    So, 10 eggs in, one chick out! Very disappointing!.....Now I have an only chick who is very needy ;\.... Darla chirps constantly. I have to hold her or keep my hand in the box to keep her quiet. I have two eggs in the incubator, due to hatch yesterday. One egg bounced around a couple of times...

    yikes, what to do?

    Day 23 today (including the day I set eggs in the incubator) One egg had external pip 12:00 am. No change at 6am. I took it out and opened up the membrane ( at beak), no real bleeding. I put the egg back in the incubator. 7am, it has been chirping and rolling around a bit but no other cracks...

    clean coop & cocci

    I have been treating my chickens for coccidiosis for the last 3 weeks. I do not have a clue how they got it and I lost almost my entire original 8 chickens to it.....I only have 8 chickens and they free range almost every day even in winter. Everything I have read about treating cocci states...
