    Broody Bantam Not Keeping Eggs Warm Enough

    I've had one other broody and she plucked her chest feathers. Everything I see says they do that to have skin to egg contact to keep heat better. I just didnt know if it was unusual that she didnt do this and if that's why her eggs arent very warm

    Broody Bantam Not Keeping Eggs Warm Enough

    I have a broody bantam (pic for reference) and she just doesnt seem to be keeping the eggs warm enough. I understand she is small so she only has 3 of the bigger hens eggs under her (most likely fertile). She also hasnt plucked her breast feathers off like most broody hens do. I'd like her to...

    Something got everything!!!

    We let our chickens and ducks free range everyday and put them up at night. We havnt been able to for about a week now because we have 2 roosters in the remaining cages and we are dusting their coop for mites and havnt been able to move it to a different location.

    Barred rock roosters for sell in Alabama

    We have 2 available roos for sale $15 each or both for $20. They are sweet birds who need a big space and plenty of hens. We are selling them because we only have 3 hens and they get to aggressive to each other trying to fight for them. They should do a lot better in an environment with more...

    Question for folks with indoor ducks

    I've heard of people wrapping an old rag or something around their bum. I'm not quite sure though.

    Really need a great place for 2 barred rock roosters!

    We are trying to find a great home for these guys! We only have 3 hens and a rooster and have no need for these 2. We are not willing to eat them since they were raised from chicks. We're getting ducks someday this week so we'll need room for them as well. We live in Alabama and might be willing...

    Baby ducklings random death

    What's the watt of your heat lamp? It may not be the heat, But again it could be. Are they still selling ducks? Probably Not but some stores get new baby ducks when they sell out. You can buy some more and try something different like using the 'mama heat plate' instead of a heat lamp. You could...
