Especially rabbits. Auction prices don't go too high either, so you'll definelty get some good deals.

    What could be taking eggs from under broody hens

    The hen laying on the eggs or other hens? Hmmm.... I never would have thought they would be ballsy enough to take them out from underneath another hen. Or to eat partially developed ones as well.

    What could be taking eggs from under broody hens

The only evidence left was two eggshells intact with about a two inch hole with everything sucked out. I put...

    Strange Looking Chicken

    Beautiful kitty! I bet she is part siamese. I adopted a cat with the same build and eye color ( he was all white). The laady at the shelter said he was part siamese because siamese are the only cats with blue eyes. What do you know! We have exotic cats!

    Coming Home Story and Pics of new chicks (MM's meat and egg combo)

    Don't worry about being kept awake at night. No crowing at night. Chickens go to sleep at night too. They'll hold off until dawn to start crowing again.

    I need help.

    I've raised turkeys for as long as I've raised chickens and aven't had an problems at all. I've even had to stick chicken eggs under a Royal Palm hen who didn't have any fertile eggs.

    Hens laying egg but no rooster around

    Just like the eggs you buy at the grocery store, your hen's eggs are not fertile. Now that she's laying eggs, you won't have to buy any from that darn grocery store.

    Free Rangers

    Almost all of mine lay in the egg boxes. However, I did have a hen go awol for about 3 weeks until my neighbor told me she was laying on some eggs in his fishing boat. She ended up hatching 7 boat babies.

    sitting chicken

    Ditto. Fertile eggs would be the best bet because she might not adopt a chick.
