    Ideal Poultry!

    Just wanted to add, my Duck / Turkey order arrived with missing 1 duck, and 7 filler chicks.... 3 dead and 4 with ONE EYE. Its like they picked the sick and dying to fill the box. Of course they won't ship me the missing duck on its own, so they refunded. Totally messes with our future breeding...

    Raising Meat Birds WITH Layers

    ...open wound. Obviously this isnt the medical care forum....but I think the bigger question is, do I need to start planning different living arrangements for the meat birds. I just have to get through another month so we can butcher ! (they are apx 2 weeks weeks old) Thanks in advance...

    Chicks hatched are with Momma hen in brooder...

    ...Brooder gets pretty dark in the garage-so maybe I should turn it on? And should I remove the shells after they all hatch so that Momma hen doesnt eat them? When can I handle the chicks, or should I not handle them? Okay thats it for now! Yay! A successful hatch so far! Thanks in advance...

    Broody newbie :D

    ...into that box- I put the box into the brooder coop....then (with gloves on!) I grab momma hen and move her to the brooder coop. I am going to *cross* my fingers she sits right back down on them. If she doesnt, I'm out the chance at a few chicks that I dont need anyways, and I gain...

    Broody newbie :D

    Does anything think I could still clean and prep the brooder box/coop? Or how long do you think I should wait before putting chicken/s in it?

    Broody newbie :D

    Sorry I wasnt too clear, I would leave at least a foot and half space in front of her nesting box for some food/water/poop space.

    First of baby bunnies...

    I just saw the first of the year, wild baby bunny to hop out of my garden. *sigh* I have it fenced in, chicken wire, but that little critter was just a hoppin around. I'm surprised I didnt find the nest! Last year I knew where each nest was, and I was able to keep an eye on the babies. I'll...

    Cripes. Not again.(Continuation of paranormal thread)

    I'm not sure just "being a Christian" makes one not believe in Ghosts. Wierd. I'm a Christian, and I believe that the Devil can use things, spirits, and events to make us question God, and/or cause us harm. That is his "job" isn't it. I'm pretty confident when I was staying in my Aunties...

    They dont come out of the coop on their own !

    ...run etc. But nothing! Its 10am and they are still sitting up in the coop. I wouldnt be so worried, but their food and water is in the run. So what to do? Should I keep pulling them out and into the run every morning, and putting them back up into the coop at night, until the "get" it ? **Hunny
