    New, Old Member Here!

    Morning Everyone! I was a member about 5-6 years back and loved this site! Well, we were relocated to the city for jobs and worked everyday to return to our farm. It took 5 years to get back but this summer we moved back to our mini-farm and the first thing we did was get some chickens...

    Ugh my girlfriends horse had to be shot this morning.

    Wow. I am so sorry. You absolutely did the right thing as hard as it was. If the horse is suffering then it is up to us to take action. I don't know about coyote vs dogs but whatever it was I might just see if it comes back. I think animal control can set a trap.

    How do you call your chickens

    We very loudly call "Here Chicken Chicken!!" From all over my farm chickens converge. I don't know why we started that but it works. We sound silly, but it works.

    I think it will be ok. My 'bator was all over the place this hatch. I have everyone hatching right now. It may just take them a day or so longer.

    LG humidity issues- hatching help!!

    One more question: I thought that you needed extra ventilation and so I took the red plugs out. Should they be in? Will that suffocate the chicks?

    LG humidity issues- hatching help!!

    We have 12 chicks! Last night I added more water via straw. THANKS!! The humidity was still low at 50%. So we quickly snatched the 12 chicks out and added a sponge. We have more pipping and the humidity has gotten to 65%. I am so happy!! Thank you all for the help and support.

    Yorkie Vs Chicken - Graphic Pics......I Need Advice

    I'd leave the alcohol. It will burn. We just clean the debris out of the wounds and dress with a poly/neosporin. Dog bites are generaly clean. The after care and internal injuries are what you need to be concerned with now.

    Should I remove the hatched chick from the broody?

    Quote: Yes! I love that. I totally feel the same way. Its like the easy button for chicken raising if everything goes right.

    Broody keeps getting back in the wrong nest!

    I had a hen do that. She did it quite a bit and the original eggs underneath her never hatched. She was also impossible to get un-broody so I tricked her and gave her eggs about to hatch and she was finally sucessful.

    Stinky Broody Hen

    I have an ameraucana/EE hen who is broody right now. There must be a bad egg underneath her. She is one stinky hen!! She smells like well, a slightly rotten bird. She wants nothing to do with me taking any of the eggs out let alone figuring which one is yucky. This hen is very close to...

    About 95% roosters.

    Those little nubs are the beginning of spurs IF the chick is male. But if the chicks is female then they stay just the same, as a little nub. We are talking about the tiny little dot on the inside of the leg above the last toe, right? Its about the size of a pin head in those shots. As far...

    So excited!Got 7 baby chicks today-question about EE's--ADDED NEW PICS

    All of my EE hens who were chipmunk striped dark resish brown chicks like yours turned out to be the same color of brown with a couple of degress of difference. They are really pretty, I think. But mine ended up to be about the same color they were as chicks.

    Opinions... Do you brood on wire or shavings?

    I have used shavings, never wire. I like the shavings. But now I use straw. It is much easier to clean for me. We just pick up the whole mat and take it to the compost pile. Simple and easy.
