Hello. I just treated my birds with elector psp. I'm trying to find out if I can spray it around my cats and dogs. I'd like to spray my porch for house flies with the extra. But can't find information about if it's safe to spray around cats or dogs.
Just had to come share that my husband bought me 6 ayam cemani eggs from ebay and I stuck them under my frizzle hen. A day or so later my daughter(10) snuck a 7th egg under her. We expected hatch day to be on April fools day but they started hatching on the 2nd and all 7 eggs hatched!! There is...
Hello! Yesterday I went to check on my chickens and we had a visitor. She was trying to get in my run. I tried to catch her but she ran into the woods. Later the neighbors cat chased her back to our property where she tried getting in my run again. At dark she perched 30ft up in a tree so we got...
Broody hen is had 2 chicks hatch one yesterday and one today. She is currently sitting next to the eggs. Should I put her back on them or were they too hot and she got off to let them cool? Help😅
Repeat broody was on a clutch of eggs and was doing awesome. I have let her brood before successfully. I believe 2 other hens decided they didn't like her occupying the nesting box so they started to break her eggs. I noticed missing eggs and saw the 2 hens on either side of her. I moved her to...
My hen that was sitting on eggs got stressed and started eating her eggs. I thought it was another hen who did it because she was taking up the nesting box. I moved her and she ate 2 more and now has 1 left. My question is will I be able to trust her to brood again? The egg has 1 week left if...
Hello. I'm looking into getting my back fence to be hot to help deter a fox who has taken 2 hens. Yesterday it took my second favorite bird my beloved crossbeak Frankie. Is it possible to only make the back fence hot? At this point it's either hot fence or no more free ranging.
Urgent.. Today has been quite stressful. First I thought a hen was missing. Now this. My little runt got smashed either when I set down the brooder plate or maybe pushed by the other chicks? When I found the chick I immediately blew softly to try revive it. It was limp and I held it next to a...
This morning I am missing my crossbeak hen. She is so special to us and I can't stop crying. I really hope she shows up. She was in the coop last night and the auto door let's them out.
I got my shipment of 12 chicks this morning from ideal poultry. They are under the brooder plate and are so quiet. A few have came out to drink and eat. I've only taken a few photos so far.
Just got 3 free crates from a neighbor. I will be turning one into a new chick brooder. Pretty cool!
Should I use the long one or the more square one for 12 chicks?
Hi. We are building a new run from our old run. I'd like it to be about 13x16 maybe extending past the Grey building to be 16x16 there. We have 12 4x4's and 16 2x4's to build the new run frame. Anyone have tips on what they would do with these items?
Hello everyone! I have 3 roosters going into maturity. I plan on keeping 1 or 2 of them but they are rough on my hens. I know rooster mating is not always pretty but one rooster will get on a hen and the other 2 run over and peck her while the first tries to mate. I have separated the 2 bigger...
