    Washed Eggs In Fridge Then Out?

    ...minutes then put them in a crate in the fridge. My question is...if I take a dozen eggs that have been washed that have been in the fridge for a week out and they sit in my truck at 68* for 8 hours while I drive to my destination, are they safe to eat? I'd like to avoid getting sick! Thanks!

    What Size Leg Band For Adult Golden Comets?

    Thanks for the chart. I didn't see Golden Comets. Would they be comparable to Rhode Island Reds?

    What Size Leg Band For Adult Golden Comets?

    Hi All, I'll be picking up a half dozen Golden Comet chicks at my local Agway in a week and I want to band my one year old group of six Golden Comets that I currently have so that next spring I'll be able to tell which are my old birds. What size band do I need? I was thinking of getting...

    Sexing Bantam Silkies

    Back in the last week of March I bought 10 straight run silkies from my local Tractor Supply store. The girl working there helped me to pick what she guessed were hens. Two of them like to fight with each other occasionally as though they are establishing a pecking order. I have a feeling...

    25 Dead Chicks

    I wound up getting a replacement order the last week of March and all of those birds died as well. Out of 25 about 5 were alive. The remaining 5 died over the course of a couple of days. It was horrible. They offered to ship out yet another order and I declined. I will never order chicks...

    Are These Birds Old Enough To Go Out To The Coop?

    How essential would the light be? I'm not sure if I've got enough cord to reach the coop! It's like 125' away. And yes...they are raising hell in their pen in the garage. I think they'd love to go in the coop. Also, I've still got the plexiglass covering all of the windows in the coop so...

    My New PVC "Nipple" Waterer

    After watching some videos online I finally ordered some of these nipples and bought some PVC pipe and came up with this. I made this waterer for my young birds in the pen before going out to the coop. I'll make another for the coop possibly with the pipe coming through the side of the coop to...

    Are These Birds Old Enough To Go Out To The Coop?

    I got these birds as chicks the last week of March. The low temperature looking out 10 days on Weather.com shows the coldest of 39 for my area. Judging by how feathered (or lack of) they are, would you say they're ready to go out to the coop? I currently have a light in their pen that's...

    25 Dead Chicks

    Rough day today. Ordered 25 white Silkies (straight run) from one of the big mail order houses a couple of weeks ago. They shipped yesterday. I had their new home all set up and waiting for them this morning when I left for work. I expanded the 4'x4' wooden pen I used last year to 4'x8' and...

    Silkie Bantam Questions

    Hi All, I'm thinking about getting some Silkie Bantams and have some questions. I've got two black right now now and the whole family has fallen in love with them. I find that they don't stray far from the coop. Do you guys find the same thing? What are Silkie Bantam Roosters like? This...

    My Poor Silkie Bantam Got Beat Up By My Plymouth Barred Rocks - What To Do? (**WARNING - Graphic Pi

    I'm pretty sure it's not the Brahma as I've never seen her act aggressively towards any birds. I wound up putting quarantining her in my run and spraying Bactine on the wound. It's a topical antiseptic spray that supposedly offers pain relief. I saw nothing with the word "Caine" in the...

    My Poor Silkie Bantam Got Beat Up By My Plymouth Barred Rocks - What To Do? (**WARNING - Graphic Pi

    Thanks for the reply. It appears as though there is no skin to superglue back together.... As for the naked butts, there are no roos in the mix. It happened over the course of three days so perhaps it's not mites? I'm no expert, only speculating. How long does it take feathers to fall out...

    My Completed Coop And Run

    Thanks for the kind words. I think the way we attached the coop to the run worked out great. Also, stapling the wire to the inside of the framing of the door gave it a cleaner look. Good luck on your project!
