    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Thank you very much for that reply!!! I appreciate the info so much! I do have a question. Would you mind looking at the pics of my coop and seeing what you think might work for what you referred to as a "veranda"? It's under my name on the left. "My coop". I have food and water in the coop for...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Hi all, I have 6 hens and our blue Marans hen went broody on Sunday. I realized it for sure Monday, and in my ignorant excitement went and bought 12 fertile eggs for her to sit on. I say ignorant, because this is my first broody ever and I had no clue it would be problematic for her to stay in...

    Thank you for that. I'm not sure what to do. I watched a video on bf surgery and was going to do it, but went to Atwood's to get the supplies and the antibiotic that the person suggested was $100 bucks alone not including the other items. I do value and care about my chickens, but um..over $100...

    Thanks! I guess it's off to the forums to figure out dosage etc. I appreciate your advice. Trish, depending on how close you are, I'd be willing come help you feed your animals and do things that need done. I'm in Haysville. Are you very close to Haysville?

    Hi everyone! :) I just wanted to let anyone near Wichita know that you can get free straw for animals at Keiter Nursery right now. Someone donated money for the company to give away 100 bales so animals can stay warm. Mighty nice of that person. I think only twenty were taken so far. I didn't...

    That is such a good idea! I never would have though of that!! I really don't think it's broken or anything. Thank you!! :) Said a prayer for her. Losses are hard, had one recently myself, in September. God is gracious; even bad things He works out for the good of those who love Him and are...

    So, I have a pullet that is really having a hard time walking. It is so pathetic, it had me tearing up. One of the toes on its right foot is aimed sideways instead of normal. It tries to walk on it with its foot curled up, but stumbles a lot and has trouble. I'm wondering if there are any...

    What is the Best Tasting Heritage Meat Bird?

    So will males fight even around 12 wks? That is when I plan to slaughter. I don't want to pay a ton to make them capons.

    Sorry everyone's chickens are struggling with the heat....I am thankful that my chickens always leave the coop and hang out in the shade, dust bathe, or lay in the water puddle caused by our A/C. Thanks for the moral support ;-) Now a question...anyone know of a hatchery that is humane in...

    Hi everyone! I hope everything is going well. I can't keep up with the speed of the thread, so I don't get on much, but thought I needed some chicken-lover solidarity today....I have had my first chicken death. :( My low-totem-pole chicken, a Barnevelder, was found dead in the run today. The...
