    Disgusting Brooder Conditions! PICS

    Definatly makes me feel better though, I came home once to my last batch of week old chicks, their food was everywhere and there was some bedding in their waterer, and I roled my eyes and was like OMG they are so much work, and went to bed without cleaning them, of course I woke up early...

    Converted our shed into a coop! Need some opinions from others. Pictures included!

    Your roosts are way to small, they need to be the width of a 2x4, round is ok, but think of a large tree branch near the base of the tree, that's where they like to sit if they pick there own spot, and all the roosts should be at the same height, because they will spend forever fighting for the...

    How long does a chickens egg last in hot weather?

    I've eaten 8 day old eggs from the coop before, in mild weather, say, 75 to 85 degree weather here in Texas, the yolks were runnier then usual and they did have a stronger egg flavor, and 5 day old eggs out of the coop in 90 plus weather that were still fine. I just crack them in a bowl...

    chick ,chick, duck?

    SHe wants the duck as a pet, apparently its a trend right now. *shrug* I'm hoping for a girl duck for the eggs, she wants the shinny green feathers so is hoping for a boy, but I didnt think about him trying to mount anyone, my older hens will have an issue with that, so we will see. Great...

    New Chicken Owner

    Before they are all feathered out, start taking them on walks outside, or in a playpen or whatever, as many times a day as you can. Chickens adapt to there environment, so you basicly need to get them used to it. 15 min and first and then longer, once they are completly feathered I wouldn't...

    chick ,chick, duck?

    Ive had six hens for almost two years and they are doing smashingly, one of which I got at 4 weeks old and raised in the house. My neighbor works with me and loves my chickens and eggs. Some of our coworkers got ducks or have had ducks as pets, so she wanted one too. So we went to the feed...

    Broody sex link

    I'm in Texas, last year was our coldest year ever and the only reason I needed a heat lamp was to keep the water defrosted. She is one of my best layers, I need her around, but as usual I don't mind a couple more babies. *grin*

    I suppose I never get any answers because I always post in the wrong thread, lol. This should be in egglaying and behaviors.

    Broody sex link

    So, I have this year old black sex link, who I initially just thought was acting weird. Of course its a production strain that has gone broody and me with no rooster. So what are the pros and cons of the different methods of breaking the broody or utilizing it? Just kicking her out of the...
