    Mom has left the nest, is there anyway to salvage the rest of the eggs

    I can hear one egg peeping so fingers crossed! Problem is I didn’t realize I had a broody hen until she had already started sitting. Then the other girls layed some eggs and are behind

    Mom has left the nest, is there anyway to salvage the rest of the eggs

    Well mom has decided that 8 chicks is enough and left the eggs. Is there anyway to salvage them without a incubator? I’ve got one of the chick warmers they go under. Maybe I can put the eggs under that? Or will it just cook them?

    Chicken Scratch Poultry for pullets? Expanding our flock...

    Im so sorry yes disappointing puts it mildly.. thank goodness I've had more good years than bad but introducing this nasty disease has definitely been a doozy. Now one of my old girls is sick and I've got to put her down. I've had her for almost 8 years... Definitely regret those chicks!

    I wish I knew.. DO YOU KNOW?

    The weird thing is it's only been affecting my birds in the barn. So I thought it was maybe something they were scratching up since it's a dirt floor(we just moved here and god only knows what the previous owners threw around. They left 29 cats here, goats, sick rabbits. The neighbors stepped in...

    I wish I knew.. DO YOU KNOW?

    I think I'm dealing with this awful disease now. I'm getting the next one that croaks tested so I know for sure. With my track record it won't be long. Going from big plans of breeding to 50% loss has been a huge disappointment. On top of I can't seem to eat my eggs without getting sick even...

    Will geese help with weeding a small creek?

    Thank you for the reply and advice!! I was thinking of starting with 3 and will probably get a few ducks as well. im starting a orchard so maybe rotating them between those two areas will work so I don't have to weed eat around the trees, I hate weed eating can ya tell :)

    Will geese help with weeding a small creek?

    We have a small creek that runs through a grassy area in front of our house that is a PAIN in the butt to keep the grass down with a weed eater. So originally I was going to get a couple of goats to keep the area cleaned up but it's really mucky and wet, I have jumped across it and sunk up to...
