    wound on neck

    One of my 2 month old chicks got her neck stuck out of a small hole in the coop. It didn't appear bad at the time, however it is gaping now, perhaps because of getting picked. We have separated her from the others to avoid them pecking it. What else do I do??? Should I butterfly bandage it...

    Hen keeps laying yolks only?!

    I've had a yolk-less small egg just once, but never a white-less egg...hopefully it is just a transition time for her.

    disappearing eggs

    One time I noticed shell in the middle of their coop , but when the chickens break one of their eggs, they eat it all. I only know they have done it because the other eggs have yolk on them. I'm thinking of seperating her. My only issue is that I don't have room in my backyard to build another...

    So proud of myself plus a question on canning.

    Wow! That is scary but I have never had a jar explode, had seals come undone or food spoil inside the jars. Shrug?

    So proud of myself plus a question on canning.

    Our family has a cookbook from the 1800s...it has an oven canning chart. After filling and wiping rims, put lids and seals on and place into oven at proper temp. For example...tomato products go in at 325 for 45 minutes. After the cans are removed from the oven, you can hear them as they seal. I...

    turkey basics please

    The advice from this site has helped tremendously with my chickens-now 1 year and thriving. I'm onto my next venture. I'm getting 3 bourbon red turkeys in about a month. Do they need to be in a brooder for the same time as chicks? Anyone have pics of their turkey coop set-ups? I don't have a lot...

    managing what my flock produces?

    What does everyone do with their chicken poo? I have just been putting the shavings and dropping into the trash but would like to put it to use as fertilizer and compost. I have a fairly small backyard so no place to hide or escape from the smell...

    refusing to use the nest box

    One of my girls is laying an egg in the run instead of in the nice clean nest. She's been doing this for about a week now. Any ideas to entice her back upstairs?

    Are chickens and turkeys friends?

    I would like to get a few turkeys. Can they be housed with the chickens or would they need their own coop and run?
