    help!!!!!! nest box was flipped!!

    So...this morning I went out and a dead chick was laying in the coop. No shell anywhere and it was covered with ants. No other eggs are pipping. The shell may be under momma, but I made her stand and did not see it. I am just not sure. It was very early to have hatched. I was expecing...

    help!!!!!! nest box was flipped!!

    I'm not sure if its her first try I rescued her. She may have had babies before. She's a very sweet loving hen. She has all of her eggs firmly under her again. Someone gave me hope that a mama was off her nest for 24 hours when it was cold out and the eggs hatched. We shall see. if not on...

    Thank you both. I am pretty certain they are lost. Such a sad thing for me. This is my first broody. She is still very broody, should I sneak some chicks under her?

Today I came out and we had a horrible cold front last night, and she was laying under the nest box with the box flipped and all the eggs cold inside. They were due to hatch on Thursday. Am i safe to say they are probably all...

    dish pan nest box

    hello! My broody hen has been sitting on her eggs in a dishpan, because our nesting boxes are a rack system with dishpans. When I moved her to the little coop so she would not be disturbed, I just picked out the whole dish pan she was in, and carried it over there with her and the eggs still...

    Help Please My Guineas ran off into the woods and are G O N E :(

    An added tip our breeder suggested. Keep them in for 8 weeks total, and then only let half out at a time for two weeks. They will return to the others in the evening. After two weeks, let them alk out

    The new Texas Digs

    We lived in Missouri for one year, and two months before my husband found out he was getting a promotion and we had to move to Texas, we finished the grandest of coops. I loved my coop, it matched our house, and was just the bomb. The offer came in, and included was a clause that we had to...

    The Benefits of Guinea Fowl?

    After months of our neighbor's guineas coming for their daily romp to our farm, we have decided to add guineas to our farm. At first, their noise bothered me, and the guineas were taking over and eating all of the feed for our ducks, horses and calves. Then, I realized that not a single one of...

    Coyotes now know.. that I own birds.

    We have them here all the time. A week ago, one was in our yard, headed right toward the pasture at 7:30 am. Usually they are gone in hiding by that time in the morning, and we only hear them at night. This one was super brazen, and my husband and I both ran out yelling and it just looked...

    Ferret Attack

    I do not think ferrets are allowed to run wild. I would think she is breaking the law. That is just crazy. I am not sure ferrets are required to get rabies vaccines, and should not be out running.

    Premature Egg?

    We had a couple of those early on too. It is a shell-less egg. It is not unusual. You will find that the girls lay very small eggs to begin with, but ours are getting bigger and bigger with time.

    Human predator??

    That is kind of what I thought. I don't want to cause issues right before we move. He is definitely mentally here, so that is not the issue. I think I will just keep the lock on until we move. I really don't want people viewing the house to go in the pasture with the animals either, so I...

    Human predator??

    Today was just one of those days. Hubby is traveling for work, and I was a tad late getting outside this morning. Then, all of the new bags of feed were still in my SUV. I ended up opening them in the garage, and carrying the scoop of feed out for first the goats, and then the chickens...

    Rooster adoption

    Try to find some rural areas around you to post the ad to. Maybe upstate NY, or rural NJ. You will have the best luck if you post it in rural areas.

    Vent turning inside out?

    We recently had a hen do the same thing. It is called prolapse, and if you search the forum, you can find info on it. I was going to cull my girl yesterday, because I could not get it in, and get it to stay, and when we went out, it was in!! I am going to let nature take it's course, and...
