    How do I break a dog of killing chickens????????

    OMG! It's not just me?! My sweet, harmless Multipoo began killing my hens. We didn't figure out it was her until the first 3 were gone. I was it shock, she's a very well disciplined dog but I caught her one day chasing one of my Sebright hens I yell after her but it was like she was in a trance...

    So they're dead now. :((

    I'm sorry about your babies, truly! My babies are free range and we live in the mountains where every kind of predatory critter lurks. We lost all our small hens in the course of a week so back to the coop the rest went. We're in the process of placing electric wire and expanding our coop for...

    Humidity won't go up!

    I took my bantam eggs in with my brooder because I have eggs that are in lock down and these aren't so I put them with the broody. It took her about an hour in quite chilly weather to tuck them. Will that weather for that long damage the eggs?

    Little Giant Incubator Not Working.

    I'm having problems with my Little Giant incubator. I'm preparing for my first batch of eggs to hatch. I've never done this before. No matter what I've tried I can't get the humidity above 50% and I'm on day 18. I'm so scared they won't survive. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Humidity won't go up!

    I kept the plugs in my Little Giant incubator. I added water to the channels and the humidity is only 47% and I'm on day 18 in lockdown. What can I do, I'm desperate. Any pointers??
