    I need a feeder that bunnies can't get into.

    I could put it on a table, but I have seen my bunnies get up on a 2 foot high chair. I don't want to make it hard for my hens to get their food.

    I need a feeder that bunnies can't get into.

    I have a couple bunnies who live with my flock. They have been eating the chicken feed, but the feed is not good for them. I need a feeder that the hens can eat out of but the bunnies can't. Anyone have any suggestions? I am also willing and able to make something DIY. Thank you,

    Broody Hen Broke Eggs

    I have a broody hen sitting on 8 eggs. She has been broody for at least 2 weeks and has been sitting on 8 eggs for the past 11 days. She was doing so well with them. Last night when it got dark I decided to candle them to take out any duds. Seven of them were doing great and one wasn't fertile...

    Can you give a broody eggs that are close to hatching?

    I am considering incubating some eggs for my broody hen and then giving them to her for lock down (day 18). Has anyone done this before? Does it work or would it be better to either let her hatch them the whole way or incubate them the whole way and give her day old chicks? She is a first time...

    I have a pullet that I found some lice on today, but about 4-5 weeks ago she has lost some movement in one of her legs. Could this be related?

    How do you know if you have enough air flow in your incubator?

    I use a DIY incubator. It works very well, but I am just curious.

    What age should you sell baby chicks?

    I hatched some chicks with the intension of selling them, but am not sure what age I should sell them. Is it okay to sell chicks that are under 4 days old?

    pipping but not hatching, need the experts help

    This is not always true. I have personally helped chicks hatch after over 24 hours of them trying and they have lived and are happy healthy hens.

    Is it possible that introducing new chicks to my flock has made one of my hens go broody?

    Some humans get baby fever. Maybe chickens do too.

    Is it possible that introducing new chicks to my flock has made one of my hens go broody?

    Well they are separated by wire mesh until the chicks get bigger.

    Is it possible that introducing new chicks to my flock has made one of my hens go broody?

    Is it possible that adding new chicks to a flock could make a hen go broody? I ask because yesterday I introduced some 6.5 week chicks to my flock and now one of my hens seems to want to brood (she is sleeping in the nest). She is a proven broody who has hatched 3 clutches. Or is this just a...

    Accidentally took hatching egg out of incubator

    I am just about an hour from the start of the 23rd day so I thought I would candle the remaining 2 eggs. However, when I candled I found one was in the middle of hatching. Did I just screw up really bad or should t be okay? It was only out for a minute and put it back in the incubator.

    I just got done talking with the lady I got the eggs from and she says it is an F4 Olive Egger.
