    "cats" bad or good

    I have six cats. None of them so much as even looks as the chickens. It's true about chickens liking cat food, if they leave bits of breakfast for brunch later on, there will be none left lol.

    anyone using/used RCOM APS Pro DIY ?

    Hi everyone, I'm planning to build an incubator and searching the interwebs for stuff that might come in handy. Came across this: It's a thermostat and hygrostat in one with a pump system. You only need to attach a bottle of water, a heater (200Watt max) and set your desired temperature and...

    Hi everyone!

    thanks all for welcoming me! I got the eggs yesterday. In the evening I shoved three under each chicken, the rest of them in the incubator, a total of 15 eggs. This morning I noticed the chickens had accepted the eggs. I got out all the other eggs from under Piri-Piri, but my bigger girl Madras...

    Best Breeds with Children

    Hi! I have kids myself , which is the reason that I'm attempting to hatch a couple of Australorps. I've been told they're very sweet, gentle, big birds. Plus, they lay plenty of large eggs year round. My Wyandottes are also quite non-agressive and "good" with kids, but they're a bit more shy...

    rotten hatch

    Sorry to hear that, that's really nasty! How come you think it's the thermometer? Did you check it? Was it very much off or wobbly? How far were the embryos developed? Hope your next hatch will be lots and lots better...

    Should nest box for broody hen be on floor or up.

    I have my chickens roaming the backyard freely. When any of them go broody, they usually make their nest on the ground, like under the hedge. Seems all natural to me. Since I don't have a rooster (I have friendly neighbours and would like to keep it that way :) ) they never hatched. This year I...

    chick's have poop sticking to butt

    Hi, excuse me if my post seems rude, but I'm not a native speaker and just curious to know, never too old to learn. When you put veggie oil on their vent, by "vent", do you mean poophole ?

    Hi everyone!

    My name is Margo. I'm 42 years old and I'm from Best in the Netherlands, Europe. I have two lovely, if a little shy, backyard bantam Wyandottes, soon to be joined, hopefully, by a couple of Australorps. Both Wyandottes are broody and the tiny little incubator that I got secondhand has been...
