    CHICKEN NIPPLES HELP

    Your birds will figure it out in no time. If you use nipples with cups under the nipples fill them up yourself and they will catch on. Then you will never have to clean another dirty water dish again.

    If you have a dog.....

    We have lots of dogs here. 4 pugs, 1 Boston terrier, and 1 pit bull. The pit bull is fine with the chickens, and I don't think the pugs would bother them. Then there is the Boston terrier. She has killed two chickens on two different occasions. She lives to get at the chickens. I think if there...

    tried to introduce some chicens to my flock neck is open wound

    Get the wound cleaned up so there is no blood present. There is a product sold at feed stores that is call No-Peck, or I'm sure they have something similar, that you can apply to the wound that will keep the others from pecking at her. Good Luck!

    New Puppies

    I'm sorry I have been neglecting BYC and not posting puppy pictures. The puppies are 8 weeks old and are going to new homes today. At least four out of six are.

    How long will a hen stay broody?

    Quote: From what I have found out so far, it has nothing to do with having a rooster. It's their hormones. I don't think mine would come off the nest if I didn't take her off. If it's only been four days for your hen you might consider finding some fertile eggs for her to sit on. I figure...
