    I THINK I heared peeping

    If it's just day 18, they they probably will not hatch...but as you get closer to day 21 the chirping will get louder and you will be able to hear them working on getting out of the shell. I hope the hatch goes well! @

    WILD 4-H STEER...

    He's to old to be handled by a young teen who wants to be involved in the 4H. A much smaller and YOUNGER steer is what you want to begin with. He's dangerous, expecially if he's not be handled much since a calf!. Be careful! @

    ~Here is My Coop...What do you think?~ (Pics)

    Nothing wrong with the structure at all. The only thing I'd consider changing is the location of the nest and the roosting poles. Chickens like to roost as high as possible so that may intice them to your nest boxes instead of the roosting poles. I'd move the nest boxes away from the roosting...

    Should I move her, or let her go for a ride?

    It could go both ways. I have an older ford ranger I usually use to take off the trash. Well, I decided I was sick of taking off the trash so I asked my friend to start picking up my trash with the town trash truck. I went down town to the post office one day and when I came out of the PO I...

    NEED HELP ASAP on a temp chicken coop-pics added

    You do not say where you are located but if most likely if anywhere in the South the potting bench would work. It's warming up here and at 6 weeks of age, most of the chicks sould be pretty well feathered out and in need of no or very little heat. Given the size of the bench, that would give...

    View from the house

    I think most people have a sense of security for their fowl when their coop is visible to them and some have it that way simply because they enjoy watching their birds while doing things at the window. Being able to see the coop definitly does not hurt anything, but since we can't (most of us)...

    Does this sound right? Need advice.

    From what I see of the coop, it looks like it's all enclosed? There is no window in the back for a light source is there? The lack of light might be a problem for the girls, because chickens do not see well in the dark and they will avoid going into very dark places. I'd consider cutting a hole...

    Does this sound right? Need advice.

    I assume by Chapel Hill you mean...NC? I'd forget totally what the lady at the feed store told you...she's on the wrong page this time. Get them some chick starter to give them the needed nutrients they need at this time in life. As for heat...that is totally the decision of the owner. Yes it...

    Taste of Store Chicken versus home grown chicken

    While in Mexico it was the first time I had eaten "home grown" chicken. I can say it is totally different than anything I ever ate in the States....lol....It did not taste like any chicken I ever ate, that's for sure. I'm not sure you can compare the taste at all, and these were tough...

    I'm looking for fertilized eggs in southern Michigan.

    Deb... Lift the hen off the nest and feel the eggs paying careful attention to the ones at the back. If they are warm like the others then she is doing a pretty good job of covering them all. You'll be able to feel the difference if there is a high degree of difference. When I "check" mine...
