    I am not, am not, am not going to that show. I would get myself into so much trouble!!! The light colored guinea and the turkeys that I have are spoken for. I still have the other 3 guineas and the red sex link pullets. I might have a few more birds as I'm rearranging. I know I...

    Lost 2 Roosters in 2 nights

    I got all but 2 pens covered and it started again on a pen that had no light. I lost 4 chickens last night. It is an owl, a very large owl. I watched it kill 1 and leave it behind, then fly off with another kill later. I got this pen secure now so those chickens will be safe. I've got...

    I have a huge owl(I thought it was a hawk, but hubby and son say it is an owl) that is wreaking havoc on 2 of my uncovered pens, lost 4 chickens during the night and just can't handle the stress from it any longer. I actually saw it fly off with one of its kills at 2:30am. I need to downsize...

    Lost 2 Roosters in 2 nights

    I had a very bright light on outside all night and didn't lose anymore. I didn't see anything get in the pen, no fencing pushed or out of place, and no tracks.

    I bet you are right. I haven't had the outside light on and the last 2 nights we have had heavy cloud cover and rain. I will try a light and stay up and see if I can spot something.

    Lost 2 Roosters in 2 nights

    I have lost 2 roosters over the last 2 nights. Both have been near the edge of the fence, but there is no disturbance to any of the fence. There aren't feathers or blood all over, but each was dead with their insides eaten away and the rest of the chicken left behind. I have never had an...

    Yuck!

    It has happened to a lot of us. Your whole hatch is not done. Get rid of the bad egg and gently wipe any others that got sprayed. If need be, you can take the eggs out of the bator for 15 or 20 minutes and clean up the mess. Once you clean the mess and get rid of the stinky egg it won't...

    Crazy Egg Chain

    I have not received the Buff Orp eggs from Southern Chickens even though I was told they were being sent out on a certain date. I didn't get eggs from June Egg Swap either. I think I'm about done with these egg swaps.

    AHHHH! HELP! Humidity malfunction!

    Yes, you can mist eggs. I do it a lot when I have staggered hatches to bring the humidity back up quickly when I need to get in the bator.

    HELP...Incubator shut off/temp 70'

    Just plug it back in. I have had power outages for 12 hours plus and temps down to the 60's and get great hatches. Good luck!
