    HELP Chick needs YOUR Help Hatching!!!!!!!!!!!1

    Quote: I find that a paper towel dries to fast so I would use a face cloth or something of the sort, dampen it and wrap it around the egg leaving a small area around its head uncovered. Sounds as if you have a handle on it. Good to hear its peeping.

    HELP Chick needs YOUR Help Hatching!!!!!!!!!!!1

    Quote: Being its on day 19 it may need more time and not ready to hatch. If you don't have an incubator, get a box, close it but allow air to circulate and get some heat in it. Lamp, heating pad.. whatever. You must keep it warm as well as humidity up. Try to get heat up to around 99F if you...

    Crow no mo'?

    One night I had to pull a roo inside, (at the time he was residing by himself), due to a bad wind that came up suddenly and freezing temps.. Well ok it was actually due to me feeling sorry for him being out there in that. I had nothing available that was suitable on a spur of the moment, so...

    heating hens in eastern Ontario during fall/winter

    Quote: I don't give heat, only a heater under their waterers for many years. The main reason being, if the power ever goes out they are not used to that cold. Then they are in big trouble. I am not about to bring them all inside with me. The temps here have gone to -14C so far for several...

    only 4 peoples incubating eggs. admin, please remove this thread.

    Quote: Good morning Mulia I don't think there is just 'one way' that would be considered the right way to turn any eggs. Many have their own ways to turn and most often they work out just fine. I have seen people that forget to turn them for many days at a time and still have a pretty good...

    Looking for Winter Advice- What do you wish you had known

    Quote: I haven't read all pages so forgive me if this has ready been said.. You would be better off getting a lamp kit, cookie tin (they come in all sizes) and a light bulb to make a heater. Drill a hole in the side of the cookie tin, insert wire attach socket, Cap (forget the name of these)...

    Really need some help, at the end of my rope--get rid of bully?

    This is just what I would do. I would take Jackie out and leave her out for a good week or so. At least until the pecking order was re arranged by the other girls. Then give her one more chance. Put her back in. If she goes after another one I would say time to re home or freezer camp. The...

    what next ?

    Quote: I don't know your setup but is there some way you can make a small trench leading the water away from your run? You know like a small ditch. Also look into putting some sort of cover over the top of the run. Again I don't know what you have for run sides, but if its sturdy, would it...

    Crazy idea? Ceramic tile in coop floring...

    Quote: Mine will not take a bale in the trunk. Dang small car and a two door at that. So I position the passenger seat back, then have it in a 'laying down' position. Fits like it was made for it. Good luck.

    bad day. ants and pipping

    This could be a long shot but you can mix baking soda with icing sugar. Mix well and put out in piles around you coop. Put something over so if it rains it will not get melted to nothing. Ants are drawn to it because of the sweet icing sugar and they bring it back to the nest. Ants can not...

    I chickened out, couldn't cull her (SEE PG 6)

    You certainly have my admiration (as I am sure everyone else does, that reads your post), in using your skills to help this small creature. I have no words but offer prayers and the best wishes for her recovery. Thanks to the love and caring you have shown her, I feel Buffy has a chance of...
