    Help a Frazzle

    I have a frizzled rooster that was with both smooth and frizzled hens, don't know who the mother is, my hens all lay eggs in the same nest, 3 of the hens lay eggs that look the same, I just picked 2 hoping the smooth hen was the mother, she has not been with a rooster so that is not the problem...

    Help a Frazzle

    I accidently hatched a frazzle, saved 2 eggs to hatch that I thought came from a smooth hen, rooster turned out frizzled and is doing fine but the hen must have had 2 frizzled parents. Anyway, she is very sweet and outgoing. Feathers came in good at first, then she lost the ones on her head...

    Kind of new

    Hi Ellen, Glad to see you got yourself some chickens. I haven't been on here very much myself the last couple years. Not sure if you remember Bridgette, the bantam SLW I got from you about 6 1/2 yrs ago, still have her and her daughter, Florette. Wanda

    Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

    you have to be careful with standard roosters and bantam hens, the weight of the rooster can injure the hens back. I have even heard of them breaking hen's backs.

    American serama thread!

    I bought a cheap 2 story hutch/coop (44 x 27) off ebay, put a bottom on it, it's sitting on cinder blocks til I can find something better to raise it up. I have 3 chicks that I hatched in there but 2 are cockerals and seem to be pickering already so now I am looking for a good used rabbit cage...

    ISO SQ pullet or hen

    I hatched out 2 cockerals and one pullet. My guys are only 5 weeks old and starting to fight already. I was hoping they would get along and it was just play but they both have blood spots on their heads. Would like another pullet or 2 or 3 so I can pair them off. I am in SE PA. thanks, Wanda

    Raccoon-proof Eglu Cube?

    So glad I found this post. I recently bought a used cube and that was my first concern. I know this post is old but thanks for the solution.

    serama chick care

    Yes they did, there were 4 but I think the hen may have stepped on one but the 3 that are left will be 2 weeks old on Wed. and are doing really well. thanks

    eggport security on eglu cube

    yes, that is what I was referring to and it is not recessed enough that a raccoon couldn't turn it and open it, IMO

    eggport security on eglu cube

    I just recently purchased a used cube. I love it but I am wondering how secure the eggport is against something like a raccoon who is intelligent enough to turn the handle. Has anyone done anything to make it more secure. I was thinking in terms of something to go around the body of the...

    serama chick care

    I just got some serama eggs and have a broody bantam sitting on them. I have read that odds are I might not get a chick but just in case, can someone tell me what I do after they hatch? I did read their feed needs to be ground, do I just put regular chick feed in a food grinder? Any other...

    Do turkey buzzards kill as well as scavange?

    I use deer netting, it is sturdier then the bird netting and easier to work with. I've also read you can string fishing line across the pen and it scares them off when they tip their wings on it, never tried it but it would probably be better if you get a lot of snow, the snow weighs the deer...
