    Quick Hatching Question

    OK, Thank you. I think leaving it alone is the best option. I am not a vet and although I could probably do an assisted hatch, I do not want to risk helping the chick hatch too early and then it dies. I have had egg mortality before and if it happens to this one, then it just happens. I hate to...

    Quick Hatching Question

    I have a broody hen who is sitting on eggs. Today is day 21 or day 22. I hear a chick chirping inside (it has pipped internally) but has not pipped externally. I heard the chirping internally over 15 hours ago. Still no external pip. Could not hear chirping this morning. Candled the egg and the...

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    Hello! We used to keep ours in the garage (in a large dog kennel) until we finally just decided to remodel the coop and build a brooder added on to the coop. THANK GOODNESS! The hutch sounds nice. You may could place the wire door away from the wind (if that is possible) but I would totally go...

    Oh yes! One of my girls is so naked right now. She is in a hard molt. She had no feathers on her legs, her tummy, her breast, and her wings were looking space. lol She has tiny pin feathers finally starting to grow. She doesn't look so silly now. I have been giving her extra protein to help her...

    I had this issue and ended up finding mine on Craigslist. I know that Craigslist can be iffy about poultry (or anything actually) but this guy was pretty reputable and place was very clean and nice. My chicks bonded fast. It was super cute to see and now they are inseparable.

    Bantam Health Question

    I added a Bantam to my flock about a month ago. She is a black breasted red old english game hen. I am not too sure of her age. I would assume she is at least about a year if not a little less. I have not seen/notice her lay yet. Her comb is very small and pretty pale. The area around her eyes...

    I live in Georgia! I just went to the TSC animal swap and they didn't have much there. I felt bad for all the chicks panting in the heat. :( BUT I did see some super cute ducks, silkies, barred rocks, golden comets, crested leg bars, and a really pretty rooster tail!!!!! It was fun!!!! I held a...

    Hi katiedarling! I live in Senoia and I have not been successful in locating a poultry vet near us. Most of them are in the Atlanta area from what I have read. I have never used a poultry vet but it is nice to know that there are some within reasonable driving distance. I hope that your chickies...

    I did have to put them in the coop. They were waiting to go to their little coop. Right now they are breaking my heart. They are walking around in circles in the coop and clucking very loudly. They are very unhappy. They are chasing the other chicks off the roost. It will take them some time to...

    Tonight is a frist! Our two big girls will be sleeping in the big coop tonight. They have had their own little coop for 4 months or so. They free range everyday. We have had them interacting with the little ones for about a month now and they seem to get along. Right now they are angrily pacing...

    Sanchabird said that they used two washer pans in their coop so they didn't have to shovel. These are washer pans: You put your washer on top of them to help with leeks and moving them around. I never thought about putting them in a coop. I didn't know what they were either until I had a...

    We used Sweet PDZ on the poop board. It is not the granules but the fine powder. It works very well and super easy to scoop to poop out. Washer pans are a neat idea! And easier is a must! Especially when you have many chickens! Thank you for the compliment.
