    Introducing chicks to broody turkey hen

    Thanks for the reassurance. Yes, I tried to do a quick swap, an egg for a chick. I knew her eggs weren't developing because I don't have a Tom. I did the same thing at the same time with my Silkie hen. She was more than happy to take any chick I'd give her! But she can only cover so many...

    Introducing chicks to broody turkey hen

    I have a turkey who is broody and was happily sitting on a golf ball. I received a chick order on March 28th of day-old standard size chicks. I attempted to give my turkey a couple chicks both in the dark and during the day. Both times she let them be under her for a few minutes, but then she...

    FREE black silkie cockerel Indiana

    Black silkie cockerel hatched March 8, 2011. He is a sweet boy and is black but has a bit of brown around his neck area. He makes 1 too many boys in the flock and I'd like to find him a good home. We are in northwest Indiana.

    OK so I had posted the question of whether or not to still turn my eggs on the incubating/hatching forum before seeing this post, and I got replies to lock down. Any Peafowl Expert opinions?

    Need advice about giving broody hen a chick

    I had a momma hatch out a lone chick, and I had a lone week-old guinea in the brooder in the house. When the chick was a couple days old, I slipped the keet under the hen when it was still dark in the brooder. She takes them both on walks and snuggles them and shows them food. That was the...

    Your post came at a great time for me! I've never tried hatching peafowl before and have been hand turning them in a still air styrofoam incubator. I heard tapping today, 3 days before 'lockdown', and wasn't sure if I should keep turning them. What I'm understanding is as long as no one has...

    peafowl eggs tapping 3 days before lockdown. Still turn them?

    I set peafowl eggs on Sunday July 10. Lockdown should be this Thursday the 4th with hatch date around the 7th. I have been hand turning them 3 times a day, but when I went to turn them this morning I heard the tap-tap-tapping. Should I continue to turn them the next few days? My temps have run...

    Keeping Chicks and Ducklings together?

    Last year I had 4 chicks and 2 ducklings. I separated them almost immediately because of the mess the ducks enjoyed making, but I left the brooders next to each other. They get along fine and usually hang out pretty close to each other when they are out in the yard. I did the same thing this...

    I need help in identifying these bantams

    I'm guessing male for the frizzle only because the size of the wattles and comb are larger than the other. What color are the legs? Could it be a frizzled white faced black spanish?

    Should I be depressed if one of twenty five has hatched in four hours?

    I had one duck hatch on the early afternoon of the 6th. It was perfect: Rocked, pipped, zipped, and hatched. There was nothing from any of the other eggs at all. But now today there seems to be a couple pips and I just now heard some peeping. Yay! The early ducky has made the waiting game even...

    GoodKids, how do you keep your grass so long and healthy That would be my husband's department! He did a great job on it, didn't he? That was last year, and I've more than quadrupled the flock since then, so we'll see if he can keep up this year!

    Anyone up to set their eggs on Valentine's day with me?

    my fuzzies: ETA: the bigger two were obviously not part of the hatch. They came home with me because of some "chicken math" at Rural King
