    Broody Hen/need help

    Hens will kill smaller birds? Like baby chicks, or like my 4 month old silkies? I think I need to move her because my husband said he caught a different hen trying to get into Sunnys nest. Is the fact that I live in Wisconsin and it has been getting down in the 40's and night, high of 55...

    Broody Hen/need help

    I tried to candle with a piece of card board with a hole in it, and a flashlight. I didnt check all of them (9) the first 2 seam "clear" but not as clear as a 1 day old egg that was in the other nesting box. The next 4, the long way across the egg, has a dark form and the other 1/2 of the egg...

    Has anyone gone on a ghost tour?

    This is a 1895 Victorian farmhouse that was sited for demo, so we moved it. Since then every person who has lived in it since the 30's has called to tell me it's haunted. I dont know if I belive it or not, it is odd that they all tell the same stories, yet had never meet. We dont live in the...

    My moms boyfriends dog killed my silkie

    If you dont like the guy, I would call animal control. Any inbreed loser with half a brain, would know not to let a dog out in the same yard as chickens, unless the dog has been trained not to hurt them. If it was me, I would call animal control, he and your mom, may not listen to you but...

    Greens ate what age?

    My chicks are about 4 and a half weeks old, I wouldn't put them outside yet because they dont have all there back feather in yet. If you feel like your chicks are bored, then have you ever gave them a couple hard boiled egg yokes? My chicks go crazy for them and my kids and I get a good laugh.

    How do I cull a chick with ether?

    I used ether, but if I ever have to do it again, I would try the dry ice. Ether is VERY smelly even when used outside. I hope I NEVER have to do it again.

    My whole flock was killed last night, please help me

    I had a great horned owl got a bunch of my young ones last summer. The owl bit there heads off and took the bodies. I know it was a reat horn owl because it got caught in between the two layers of chicken wire the last time. At each attack it left a couple golden colered feathers.
