    Will a hen accept day old baby chicks?

    I think the switch them out with the eggs in the night plan could work! just keep a heat lamp and area you can keep them if it doesn't work! also dont forget you need chick food for them :-) here is a post from another backyard chicken-er on this topic: Chicks under a broody hen.

    HELP me sex my chukar

    Why is this so difficult? Maybe someone here can see what sex my little birds are... Chukar #1 is the more petite one, the body and head are smaller but it has little bumps where spurs would be. Chukar #2 has a larger body... more block headed but zero spur bump... I asked the vet and they say...

    What should a newbie start with?

    To me- you should 100% hands down get chicks. It’s a great experience and the right way to start if these birds are going to be your pets, why wouldn’t you want to watch them grow and create bonds from the very beginning? I personally grew up w chickens and the chicks were always the best part...

    Long term ant repellent that won't harm chickens?

    My 1000lb horse literally eats the grass that it’s sprayed onto and has a much more sensitive digestive system than an 8lb chicken.

    Long term ant repellent that won't harm chickens?

    My Dad is a tree guy up here in NY and part of his job is to spray for insects, he uses this organic spray called EcoVia that is to be diluted and then sprayed around the lawn & property to kill insects, we trust it even with the horses. I wonder if you could just pour some of the concentrated...

    New member, new flock! New Gold Brahma roo?

    Well that is some VERY enticing news! I am in Westchester, NY and I import horses for a living but part of my job is finding road transport for them all over the US, if you do have extra cockerels, would you consider sending one on a truck with horses if I could find him a ride? (with a company...

    New member, new flock! New Gold Brahma roo?

    Chickens really are amazing. And I love the way they interact with each other and how mother hens will make the CUTEST noises to their chicks and show them what to eat and cradle them under their wings. Really SO cool that you might have twins!! I also love what you're saying about your...

    New member, new flock! New Gold Brahma roo?

    Thank you for your concern! I think the extra three will be OK as long as I create enough roosting areas and places for them to lay their eggs. I think creativity with their space is one of the keys to happy hens. If overcrowding becomes a problem I can always bring someone to my grandmother to...
