    SIZZLE EGGS in AL NPIP

    I want them, but I just filled my incubator yesterday! Any chance you'll be selling more in 3 weeks? Your sizzle's are the best.

    Teaching chicks to go in coop at night...

    We keep all the food, water, roosts, and nestboxes in our coops. Our chickens apparently think of it as "home" and they go in automatically when it starts getting dark, all I have to do is go out there and close the doors. (We have racoon problems at night, so they get locked in from sunset to...

    Broody hens hatching 6/22, 6/26, 7/3, 7/6, 7/11 Any one due w/ us

    Quote: Ha Ha! I have a broody turkey and a broody chicken "sharing" a nest. They keep stealing the eggs back and forth from eachother, but it's definately one big nest that they are sharing, not 2 seperate ones. One chick hatched either late July 1st or early July 2nd, and it looks like one...

    July 1st hatching ..DAY 23 for a few of us!

    I found this yesterday: I had no idea when the eggs were due because I had a chicken and a turkey sharing the nest! It took me a while to realize that they had gone broody, I figured they were laying eggs since they were both on the nest until I finally realized it was alway the same turkey...

    Broody chicken & broody turkey sharing a nest!

    I decided to leave them alone and let nature do it's thing. About a week ago another turkey joined in, so I've got 2 turkeys and one hen sharing. They seem to be sharing well, when one gets up, the other will take all the eggs, and when it comes back she will let her take her eggs back. Well...

    Hot Weather + No Eggs?

    We also went from about 16 eggs a day to about 3. It has to be the heat (I'm in Florida and it's been in the triple digits); they clamped up as soon as summer hit! My ducks too.

    Broody chicken & broody turkey sharing a nest!

    I have a chicken and a turkey that have apparently gone broody and are sitting on the same nest! I've never seen this before. Of course, it's not one of the many nest boxes that I've provided for them, they made their own nest and are laying side by side on their clutch of eggs. Has anyone...

    Dirt bath

    That was the first thing our little ones did when we let them play outside for the first time. The moment their feet hit the ground, they started rolling in the dirt!

    Chickens and ducks in same coop???

    Ours do fine together, however the ducks WILL make a mess!!!! We tend to give them their own area so they can be as messy as they want, but sometimes they'd just rather go in with the chickens. We have a smaller automatic waterer in the "chicken's" coop to try to prevent the ducks messing it up.

    When can I let them together?

    I would let them out together and supervise for a while. I have a mama goose with 7 babies, and when we let her out she pretty much pushes anyone out of the way that she doesn't want near her babies. The other ducks/geese/chickens, for the most part, get out of her way and give the babies...

    help

    If you've raised chickens, you can raise turkeys. Pretty much the same rules apply. You can even feed them chick starter if you can't find turkey starter.
